I wanted to share with you a podcast I did with HITCHED.  They are a great social networking organization that focuses on married couples. They provide all kinds of resources for relationships, but what I wanted to talk about on their pod cast was Date Night.

Did you know a weekly date night is the number one recommendation given by Marriage Therapists?  And for good reason, most of our marriages are starving to death.  Think about it…what do relationships feed on? How do relationships keep the juice and spark?  Well, they need love!  And what does that mean?  As you will hear in this podcast, love is attention and going on dates gives couples the opportunity to start bringing some attention back to their relationship.

The other issue we address is the lack of time we all have for our relationships.  That is where the name for the show came from.  There are no excuses.  If little Jimmy needed to get to soccer three times a week, we would get him there, and be happy to do it.

What about our relationships? Relationahips need time and yet we don’t invest the time.  We are too busy taking Jimmy to Soccer.  Come on people, what’s going to happen when Jimmy grows up and he can drive himself where he needs to go?  Where is your relationship going to be then? One of the largest divorcing populations are the empty nesters.  All those couples who only had one focus, taking care of Jimmy’s needs, all of a sudden realize they don’t have anything in common. Don’t let that be you.  Get out and date. NO EXCUSES Date Night
