Date ideas
Sutra translates to thread in Sanskrit. It is a string of ideas tying one thing to another. For couples this means the small actions that connect your daily lives. Spontaneous escapes put that idea into practice by taking you out of your normal schedule. You make quick decisions to do something different together. The eight examples below show how to do this without much effort or cost. Some happen inside your house while others take you outside. They give you a way to create new memories that add to your relationship over time. Try one when you have an hour or two free.
