I am a firm believer in having a date night every once and a while. I think this is important whether or not there are children involved or not. Going out allows for you both to have time to relax and enjoy each other’s company without thinking about a million other things like you probably do when you are home. Even a dinner at a local restaurant once a week can be a good way for you two to maintain your bond.

When you have children things do change. You both have to make sacrifices for the kids, and that is not a bad thing. It just means that you might be in need of some together time without the little ones around. I know a lot of couples feel guilty about leaving their kids for a couple of hours a few times a month. Some couples even say they do not need the time away from their children. There is no reason to feel guilty for maintaining a strong relationship for your children to witness, and that short time away is needed no matter what you think.

The video below has some great tips for taking a date night. Now, I don’t agree with all of the things that relationship expert Marni says, but overall she is pretty right on. Take a night every once in a while for fun just the two of you. You will be glad you did in the long run too.
