date nights
Couples' scheduled outings
Date nights are evenings couples set aside for romantic time together, typically away from children or daily routines.
The term emerged as relationships and parenthood increasingly competed with work and other obligations: We try to have date night every Friday.
The plural often refers to the practice as an ongoing commitment: Date nights have saved our marriage.
