Married to
a gamer? Are you a gamer yourself? Here’s the perfect date idea for you and
your sweetheart!
Location: The Pinball Museum
(508 Maynard Ave.)
Cost: $13/adult
The
Pinball Museum of Seattle showcases 50 arcade games-vintage and new. They
even rotate the games so guests can experience lots of different ones. And yes,
the games are for playing, not just for admiring! You can satisfy your thirst
and hunger while playing and grab one of their snacks or drinks.

Emphasis/Ideas:
Play games you haven’t played before or in a long time, do something out of the
norm, play together
~TRY:
Have friendly competition with your
spouse while playing the games! Play multi-player games if available, and/or
try to beat each other’s scores on single player games. A little friendly competition can spice things up on this date! J
***Relationship
skill:
---Oftentimes,
married couples get stuck in a “rut”. When date night does happen, it can be
routine, without much “spark”. It takes effort, but planning regular dates that
are deliberate can greatly benefit a couple’s romantic and emotional
connection. Better yet, working on a relationship skill during the date can
strengthen a couple’s love, trust, and compatibility.

On this game date,
couples can focus on their playful side! Allow yourself to get into the date- get competitive, be
silly, and have FUN! Play and humor can
help married couples keep their relationship “exciting, fresh, and vibrant” (Fixing Relationship Problems with Humor).
Remember how much fun you had while dating each other- how you always wanted to
make each other laugh? Doing this is even more important while married! Amidst
the stresses life inevitably brings, playfulness and humor can help ease
tension and keep a couple feeling young and attracted to one another.
