Date Night
Loving parents are the foundation of a fulfilled family, yet it's easy for couplehood to take a back seat when life seems to revolve exclusively around your darling little angels, your loony household, and your exhausting jobs. The best tried—and—true way to catch up, stay connected, and evolve as a couple? A regular Date Night. Doesn't need to be expensive or elaborate—the important thing is making the commitment to spending some kid—free time together. Frankly, just knowing that Date Night's on the horizon can get you through some pretty trying moments. Plus, it reminds the kids that you two actually dig each other, and that—quelle horreur!—they aren't the sole focus of your world.
Date Night has kept us sane since we got married in '93, and we thought that keeping a Date Night video log might be a fun way to inspire others.
