Thinking back to before my husband and I had children, we would date weekly. Friday and Saturday nights were always movie and dinner date nights. We didn’t have to think twice about moving around our schedules and if the occasional late work night popped in, we would always go the extra mile to make that date night happen.

Fast forward 15 years and 2 kids later… What do you think happens? Okay, so maybe our date nights aren’t weekly, but we haven’t forgotten who we need to be, to both each other and our children. We ensure that date nights are penciled into the calendar at least once a month, and on an awesome month, twice! Date nights make us better partners and better parents.
