Dating Guide: How to Date your Spouse

Date Your Spouse How-To Guide

We can all probably say that before we got married date night was a BIG deal! Whether you planned dinner at a nice restaurant, an adventurous outing or a romantic evening, preparing fun activities together was a top priority!  Things aren’t quite so easy anymore, we have kids, a house to take care of, jobs and other responsibilities. We get lazy, tired and complacent with our relationship, and sometimes one spouse (or both!) loses enthusiasm. But dating each other AFTER marriage is SO important, and SO fun! It offers a break from the kids & the stresses of real life, and someone else usually cooks dinner… win-win-WIN!
