Date Night
Tonight was "Date Night" for me and Patty. Every Wednesday we go out to dinner together while a sitter watches our girls. We've been doing this for most of the past 6 years.
I highly recommend a date night for all couples with kids if there's any way you can swing it. In our case it's one of the few times we can and do just talk with each other and find out what's going on. With kids running around all the time, our focus is almost always on them. I think it's been great for our relationship to have a weekly time together that we both look forward to.
I need to thank Bill Campbell who told me to start date nights so many years ago. I know others have taken the same advice from him and really find it healthy. So, parents, setup a regular date night if there's any way you can make it happen.
