Winter has a strange effect on relationships. The days get shorter, the couch gets more comfortable, and before anyone notices, the most adventurous thing you have done together in three weeks is agree on a dinner order. Cuffing season sounds romantic in theory, and then November arrives, and suddenly you are two people in matching sweaters who have run out of things to say that aren't about the weather.

The good news is that a little effort goes a long way when the bar has been set by consecutive evenings of doing absolutely nothing, and the date night ideas on this list range from ultra fun to unexpectedly memorable without needing anyone to stand outside in the cold longer than necessary. Winter is long, but it doesn't have to be boring, and your relationship deserves better than hibernation mode until March.
