194. Date Nights are Overrated

The Intimate Marriage Podcast, with Intimacy Coach Alexandra Stockwell, MD

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell, MD discusses how to reimagine date nights. She challenges conventional thinking and advocates for more intentional, meaningful relationship-building activities. This must-listen episode is perfect for any couple eager to strengthen their bond beyond routine and uninspired outings. Dr. Alexandra critiques the overly simplistic view of date nights as a magic cure-all for relationship woes and offers invaluable advice for couples at every stage—whether they’re struggling to find time for each other or looking to elevate an already strong relationship. She encourages couples to tailor their quality time to suit their unique needs, whether it’s through shared adventures, intimate conversations, or even taking naps together.

Also in this episode:

• Traditional date nights are not a cure-all and need to be intentional and customized to benefit the relationship.

• Focus on meaningful interactions rather than simply spending time together if you want to cultivate emotional and sensual intimacy.

• Discover activities that bring joy and connection, like learning new skills together, engaging in heartfelt conversations, or even spending quiet, restful time in each other's company.

• Reserve date nights for enriching dialogues and avoid logistics and other routine discussions.
