Going on a date with your spouse by definition means you are spending time together, usually having fun.
If you are not dating your spouse it is not because you don’t have time to. It is because you are doing something else with that time.
Let’s fix that so you can have more fun times with your spouse! Here are two simple tips to help you.
- Be firm in your commitment to date no matter what. Put it on your schedule as an appointment that is sacred and inviolable.
- Be flexible with your approach to dating. Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can. Do what you can with what you have got.
Bottom line: more dates with your spouse = more fun times together. You can make it happen.
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. ~ Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
