Your bathing suit is packed away and your summer vacation is long gone, but the passion that comes with summer love doesn't have to end. Whether you're headed out for a first date, or have been married for years, these fall date ideas are the perfect way to celebrate the seasonal weather and get that lovin' feeling. That's because each one of these date ideas is supported by science! (We're nerds, we know.)

As a couples therapist and dating coach, I help couples increase their relationship satisfaction by implementing a more strategic dating life. Capitalizing on love research to get the most out of your date night is a surefire way to have a hot and thriving love life. So, if you need more romance in your relationship and are stumped on finding new activities, try one of these seasonal date ideas.

Leaf Peeping
Ogle the bright red, yellow, and orange leaves as you stroll hand in hand through a local park, or better yet, go on a hike that gets you out of the city and into nature. Exercise and exploring the unknown activates the pleasure system in your brain and releases dopamine, the chemical that gives makes you feel good and exhilarated.

Apple Picking
Pick a sunshiny beautiful day to frolic in the orchards together, canoodle behind a tree, and help each other reach the highest bunches. Plus, sunlight makes you happy, so soak it up before you go into winter hibernation mode.

Pumpkin Carving
You may be too old to go trick or treating, but you're never too old to carve a pumpkin! Enjoy a little flirtatious competition: whoever creates the best pumpkin masterpiece wins something (wink wink)! Plus, being creative allows you to relax, and activates parts of the brain associated with emotional responses and the release of dopamine.

Haunted House
Boo! Jump into each other's arms as you're startled and reap the benefits — surprise activates the reward center in your brain. Going on a date with an element of surprise, risk and excitement can help you rekindle the romance.


Corn Maze
This is the perfect opportunity for teamwork! Does your partner listen to your ideas, get angry when you wind up in a dead end, or praise you for your great sense of direction? Negative communication patterns, such as criticism or defensiveness have been shown to lead to breakups and divorce, so make sure you support each other.

Cozy Picnic
Bust out the basket and plaid blanket! Just make sure to touch or snuggle up as you enjoy your wine and cheese. Physical touch is not only a popular love language, but it's also a way we communicate our emotions, such as love, gratitude and happiness.

Halloween Costume Shopping
Head to a costume shop or thrift store and laugh together as you try on some whacky outfits. Laughing and smiling cause the brain to release dopamine, making you feel happy. Plus, eHamony found that a sense of humor is the most desirable quality in a partner, so let lose and reconnect. You may just feel the same spark that initially attracted you to each other.
Ultimately, boredom is the silent relationship killer. Prioritize your partner, date your mate and take advantage of all of the fun activities the fall season has to offer. There are so many creative ways to boost connection, intimacy and happiness in your relationship. Just remember you have to mix things up to (pumpkin) spice things up!

14 Husbands And Wives Reveal The Best Thing About Married Sex

Sex after marriage isn’t as much of a snoozefest as you might think. 

Life gets busy, people get tired and sometimes sex just isn’t high on the priority list for married couples ― especially those who have been together a long time.
Though there’s no “normal” when it comes to how often spouses get it on, some couples make their time between the sheets a regular part of their relationship. Oh, and they enjoy the hell out of it too. Below, 14 people on the secret-sharing app Whisper open up about the saucier side of sex after marriage.

7 Romantic Date Ideas (That Will Actually Help You Tackle Your Wedding To-Do List!)

For most couples, the weeks leading up to your wedding will feel anything but romantic. You may find yourself overwhelmed with last minute details and shaken up by the inevitable pre-wedding jitters. If you're looking for ways to take a deep breath and enjoy some quality time with your partner before you say "I do," here are seven romantic things you can do the week leading up to your wedding — which may actually help you cross off some items on that outstanding to-do list.

1. Reenact your first date.
Go back to the very first place you met and pretend to have your first date all over again. Order the same food you ate — or walk the same path you took a stroll on post-dinner. It will bring you back to your roots (and may even help you write your vows!).

2. Spend a night looking through old pictures.
Reminiscing with old memories and letting every inch of love seep into your relationship pre-wedding is always a good idea. Looking through old photos (whether on the computer, phone, or printed) will take you on a trip down memory lane — and may help you put together a last-minute slideshow for your rehearsal dinner or reception. Spend the night reliving all the funny and special moments you shared throughout your relationship.

3. Surprise each other with a date night.
Pick a night the week (or two) before your wedding and plan a secret date filled with the other person's favorite things. Consider this your final stretch of dates before you become spouses. It will most likely relax you and bring you back to center before the big day.

4. Head to the spa.
What better way to relax the week before your wedding than spa treatments? Do a couple's massage or facials together — which of course will leave you both feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and glowing for those photo ops.


5. Go wine or cocktail tasting.
Find a local wine, whiskey, or beer tasting locale and head there for a night out. If you're still trying to decide on your signature drink, this is the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone. Take the night to have a pre-wedding toast together with your favorite drink of choice, and if it's delicious and special enough, it may end up being present on your big day.

6. Take a couples' dance class together.
It doesn't hurt to learn some new dance moves before your wedding — especially if you or your partner are prone to having two left feet. If your first dance is one that's particularly complicated or you just want to get some new moves under your belts, opt for a private dance lesson to get you both more comfortable twirling around in front of everyone.

7. Send each other a video.
If you're spending the week or a few days before your wedding apart from your fiancé, send them a homemade video that lets them know how excited you are for a lifetime together. This will be a great keepsake present that you can replay year after year, and it can even go in a part of your wedding film. Talk about a heartfelt win/win.

The Happiest Couples Do These 7 Things Every Day

Every couple is different. While your perfect date night out might be a raucous night on the town, that could be another Netflix-loving couple's nightmare. But no matter your personal tastes and past times, our experts say that the happiest couples do these things every day.

1. They have leaving and coming back together rituals.
According to Lesli Doares, marriage coach and author of Blueprint For A Lasting Marriage, research supports the idea that couples who have a ritual of greeting and leaving one another — whether that's when they first wake up or when they head off to work — have happier relationships. Why? "Because you are making a conscious effort to seek each other out," Doares says. "These times aren't taken for granted but intentionally acknowledged."

2. They touch base throughout the day.
Couples who keep in contact also keep one another's spirits up, says psychotherapist and relationship coach Toni Coleman. "That means touching base throughout the day by phone, text, or email just to say hi, tell one another you're thinking about the other, or to check in about your plans for the evening," she says. "How nice it is to know we are a priority to our partner — even when we are apart."

3. They have uninterrupted one-on-one time together.
And not just for a few seconds. The happiest couples soak up quality time for no less than 15 minutes each day, Doares says. "When you are focused on each other for more than a few minutes, you get past informational exchanges and can engage in deeper conversations that create connection," she explains. "Making this time a priority that isn't competing with children, text messages, TV, or emails shows how important nurturing your relationship is."

4. They share a laugh.
Happy couples get their giggle on whenever they can. Perhaps you spot something seriously funny on the sidewalk and snap a photo for your spouse, or you make a habit of sending one another corny jokes as a way to break up an otherwise boring day. "The point is, something makes you laugh and you want to share this with your partner," explains Coleman. "A shared sense of humor is an important part of relationship chemistry."

5. They give each other at least one sincere compliment.
The happiest couples make a habit of making one another feel good. Why? Because regular compliments will do more than give you love a confidence boost. "The time you spend identifying something positive your partner does keeps you learning about them and really noticing what they bring to your life," says Doares. "It keeps the negativity that is so destructive to relationships at bay. And, it also keeps you from taking those positives for granted."

6. They tell each other "I love you" in the love language of choice.
There are many ways to make people feel loved, from quality time to buying gifts. The happiest couples understand their partners' love languages and speak them. "Some people like to hear words, others appreciate acts of service, while others need a hug or kiss to feel loved," says Doares. "Learning your partner's love language and speaking it daily leaves no doubt about how you each feel about the other. It also shows a willingness to go out of your comfort zone to let them know how you feel in a way they best understand."

7. They go to bed at the same time if possible.
Finally, says Doares, "settling in together at the end of the day is a great way to increase intimacy — and not just sex. Your last words and thoughts will be with each other and this is can increase your sense of security with each other. And, yes, it will increase the chance of being physically intimate with each other as well — and that is almost always good for your relationship."

This Man’s Romantic Rooftop Proposal Was 3 Years In The Making

Everything’s coming up roses for Kornelius Bascombe and his new fiancée Rachel Jordan.

On July 23, Bascombe popped the question to Jordan, his girlfriend of four years, atop the Citibank building in Los Angeles. At first, Jordan thought she was there for a romantic couple’s photo shoot. But what her boyfriend had in store was even more romantic ― a proposal he had been saving up for for three years. During a special shot with rose petals, while Jordan’s back turned towards him, Bascombe got down on one knee.

“She turned around, threw the flowers in the air and my heart dropped,” Bascombe told The Huffington Post. “It was such an amazing moment because all I could do was think about how much I loved her and how much she meant to me.”

“It would mean so much to me if you spent the rest of your life with me,” he told her in the video. “I know you’ll make a great wife and an even better mother.”

Jordan accepted the proposal, of course. Then an elated Bascombe screamed at the top of his lungs, “She said, ‘Yes!!!’” and literally swept his bride-to-be off her feet.

Jordan told ABC News that she is still in shock about the swoon-worthy proposal.
“But the great thing about him is [that] he shows me that level of love every day,” she said. “He makes me a very lucky woman.”

Afterwards, the couple took a helicopter tour over downtown L.A., dined at a rooftop restaurant and went out dancing with friends.

The pair first met at a pep rally at North Carolina State University in 2010.

“A lasting relationship doesn’t happen overnight,” Bascombe told HuffPost. “It takes obstacles and challenges to strengthen a relationship, and I believe the things that we’ve been through as a unit have prepared us for life together.”

Wishing these two many more wonderful years together!

Husband's Illustrations For Wife Capture Love At Its Simplest

Illustrator Andrew Hou had trouble expressing his love for his wife with words, so he decided to do it through art instead.

HJ-Story

"Love is thinking you're beautiful doing the simplest things."

Andrew is Chinese, but he was born in Canada. His wife Kate (a.k.a HJ) is Korean. The pair, married for five years, lives together in Seoul, South Korea.
"Korean not being my native tongue didn't help either," he told The Huffington Post. "So making silly, sappy doodles was my workaround for the problem." 

HJ-Story

"Love is doing the things we love together." 

HJ-Story

"Love is saving the last for you." 

Andrew started the series, titled "HJ-Story" after the initials of his wife's Korean name, in 2010. It began as a personal blog but ended up gaining a large fanbase along the way. 

HJ-Story

"Cuddling you is the best thing in the world." 

HJ-Story

"Love is picking me up when I'm down."

Earlier in their relationship, Andrew and Kate used the illustrations as a way to stay connected.
"[Kate] was busy with school and I was busy with work, so we didn't have a lot of time to meet up or even talk on the phone," he said. "So during work, I'd pretend to be 'working' and create these tiny doodles and send it to her on her cellphone." 

HJ-Story

"Me going to work vs. me going to see you." 

Once he had accumulated enough doodles, Andrew started posting them online. As the site got more popular, he turned the rough sketches into the more polished drawings you see today.

HJ-Story

"Love is memories."

HJ-Story

"Love is learning to love what you love." 

Through his work, Andrew says he hopes to give viewers a greater appreciation for the small moments.

"We're all so busy and caught up in everything that we forget about the little moments that are important -- myself included," he said. "Drawing HJ-Story for me is not only to capture the moments of a relationship, but to remind me of the little moments that are easily forgotten."
