Double Date- Bowling

When was the last time you and your spouse went out with some friends on a double date?  It’s good to get out of the house and go on a date with your spouse, but it’s also important to go out together with other couples.  There are some great benefits to group dating:

• Breaks up routine
• See your spouse from a different perspective
• People tend to dress up more when going out with another couple
• If you’re going through a rough time, hanging out with friends who are happy can be positive
• Spending time with other couples can be inspiring

Bowling is a great group activity!  I love going bowling because it’s fun, easy to have a conversation during, and competitive.  The date can also be as short or long as you want, depending on how many games you decide to play.  If regular bowling isn’t exciting enough, there are many variations to mix things up such as Skittles Bowling.  Skittles Bowling is when you pour a Skittle out of the bag at the beginning of your turn and depending on what color you get determines the way you bowl.  Here is an example:

Green- Bowl with your opposite hand

Red- Throw between your legs

Yellow- Granny-style bowling

Purple- Use the ramp

Orange- Bowl normal

So, call up your friends and head to the bowling alley for a great night out.
