I used to laugh at the concept of "date" night, because I like to be spontaneous. But with all the schedules, I now realize you have to set aside special nights just for the two you. I had to drag my wife out one night, and by the end of it, she was glad we did it. One of you has to be catalyst to make it happen. And if your spouse is saying, "Let's go out like we used to!", you have to do it, no matter how much you want to just collapse on the couch. It can be excellent for the soul. This is so true.
