78 Alphabet Date Ideas

Spontaneous date nights sound great in theory, but how often can you really pull them off? In reality, planning dates ensures you get time on the calendar for each other while also keeping your marriage fresh and exciting. A great method for scheduling your recreational intimacy is thinking of alphabet date ideas. 

The concept of Alphabet Dating is simple. As you plan dates, think about activities in alphabetical order. 

You could focus on one letter each month and do multiple activities that start with that letter. Or you could do one letter each week, which would let you go through the alphabet twice each year! 

Dating your spouse is supposed to be fun. With these alphabet date ideas, you can pick some things you’ve never done before, create new memories, and deepen your intimacy as a couple. 

Now, let’s dive into unique date ideas from A to Z.
