Date Night

Have you ever felt like your marriage/relationship is in a rut? You may be arguing with your spouse.  You and your spouse may be a little more quiet around each other not having much to talk about.  Or it could be that you just don't have anything in common anymore.  A solution to get the relationship back on track is to have date night.  I suggest to my couples to choose an activity that gets you moving.  Perhaps, an activity that you and your spouse have either not done or rarely do.  I suggest thinking outside the box - racing go karts, taking a ballroom dancing class, playing minature golf, etc.  I suggest avoiding the same old dinner and a movie routine.  This activity provides very little interaction.  The purpose of date night is to interact, get connected and have a great time with your spouse.  Experts agree that couples should have date night once a week.  As a parent, that request is a little far fetched in my household.  How about once a month?  When you start having fun with your spouse again, you'll notice that the relationship will improve.  You'll have more to talk about and the anger/resentment/discord will soften.  When can you schedule your next date night?
