Unplugged Together. — 52 Screen-Free Date Nights & 120 Conversation Cards

Try this tonight.

Same couch. Two phones. Nobody decided it; it just happens a little more every week. You don't need a big night out to change that evening. One small move is enough to start:

• Pick a time, like "8:30, after the dishes."
• Put both phones in a basket in another room, at the same time.
• Make two cups of tea.
• Pull one conversation card and answer it, both of you.

That's a date. If it lasts twenty minutes, it still counts. Unplugged Together. is built so the next one is just as easy to start.

52 dates, sorted by the kind of night you're having

The 52 phone-free date ideas come in four groups: at home, outdoors, free or cheap, and cozy & adventurous. They run from a 20-minute living room picnic to a night away, so there's something for a tired Tuesday and something for the weekend you've been meaning to plan. No subscriptions, no apps, nothing to log into.

120 questions for when the conversation needs a nudge

Cut out the 120 conversation cards and keep them in a jar for dinner, car rides and walks. They're grouped as warm-ups, memories, dreams, deep talk, just for fun, and "us," so you can keep it light or go deeper, whichever suits the night.

A few simple agreements, made together

The TALK Rules and a fill-in Unplugged Agreement give you a place to write down what you both want phone-free time to look like, and you both sign it. It's a choice you make as a couple rather than a rule one of you sets.

Somewhere to keep the good nights

A date log holds 30 dates, so you can look back on your favorites. There are "50 Things I Love About You" pages for each of you, a couple bucket list, and monthly couple check-ins to stay on the same page.

Easy to give

It's an instant PDF, 40 pages, US Letter size. Print it, cut out the cards, and you're ready for tonight. As a gift for Christmas, an anniversary or Valentine's Day, print it, punch it into a binder and tuck a few cards inside. You can print as many copies of the date log and cards as you like, and it's yours to keep and re-download any time.

• People who find the first five minutes without phones awkward and want a question ready

FAQs

Do we have to go out or spend money?

No. The four groups include at-home dates and free-or-cheap dates, and the ideas start with a 20-minute living room picnic. There are outdoor and adventurous ones too, for when you want a bigger night.

How do the conversation cards work?

Print the card pages, cut them out and keep them in a jar or a bowl. Pull one at dinner, in the car or on a walk. They're grouped (warm-ups, memories, dreams, deep talk, just for fun, and "us"), so you can pick the mood.

Is it a good gift?

Yes, that's one of the ways it's meant to be used. Print it, punch it into a binder and tuck a few cards inside for Christmas, an anniversary or Valentine's Day. Because it's an instant download, it also works as a last-minute gift.

Is this couples therapy?

No. It's made for fun and connection: date ideas, questions and a few simple agreements. If phone use is causing real conflict, a couples counselor is a good person to talk to.

How do I get it, and can I print it again?

It's an instant PDF download after checkout, and the link is also emailed to you. You can print as many copies of the date log and cards as you like and re-download it any time.

Can I pair it with another guide?

Yes. Any two guides get 25% off at checkout, no code needed. Log Off. Live Well. (the 7-day digital detox) pairs well, for the rest of the week. Not sure? Take the 30-second quiz.
