"Netflix and chill" might be a meme-worthy term these days, but if planned correctly, a night in front of your favorite streaming service can be surprisingly romantic and fun. Before you surprise your partner with Netflix, make it special. Create a lineup of your honey's favorite TV show episodes or rewatch that movie you saw on your third date. Whatever you do, don't make it a typical old TV night—add something special and sentimental to show you care.

Learn a Dance Together

If the last time you two danced was at your wedding, plan an at-home date night that centers around getting down. Look up step-by-steps on YouTube and spend the night learning the cha-cha or the foxtrot. You'll end the night a little lighter on your feet and full of laughter. You can go full-on millennial and try learning some steps on Tiktok, there are so many videos that you can learn and enjoy with your partner. From hip hop to Fortnite dances, there are so many dances to choose from and learn from.

Open up a little and connect on a more intimate level by getting to know your partner even better. Even if you've been together for years, you'll be surprised to find there's probably something you didn't know about your loved one. Print out questionnaires or quizzes online to test out your compatibility or things you can improve upon with your significant other. Easy questions may lead to plans for the future like buying a house, having a kid, or how they feel about growing old together. That's the beauty of conversations with your partner because the more you talk with each other, the more your bond with each other grows.
