Remember whatever you choose to do, have fun and enjoy each other’s company.  The idea behind dating your spouse is to stay connected or rekindle your connection with the love of your life.  Quality, fun time spent with your spouse is vital for the two of you and your family; happy parents equal happy kiddos.  And, imagine the example you’re setting; you’re influencing a future generation of happy, connected couples!

I would love to hear from you!  Tell me how your date night went, leave a comment, and visit me on Instagram @hattiewit to let me know.
