From the article: Date Nights for Married Couples
Just about everyone agrees that scheduling date nights is a must in a marriage relationship. Finding things to do on a date and finding time to have the date are roadblocks for many couples.

Cards for your next date night!
- As a marriage therapist, I know how important date nights are, but also how challenging it can be for couples to discover, or rediscover intimate conversation, dreaming, planning, scheming and sharing together. Recently, my wife and I developed a 500 card game which couples play in restaurants, over coffee, or while out for a walk. The game is called, "A PRIVATE AFFAIR: The Erotic Game of Secrets, Plans & Promises for Couples." Secrets we disclose, plans we explore and dream together, and promises we make to follow through! We have received very positive feedback from couples, some just married, others married for many years, saying that the game really helped them go much deeper into understanding together, and into all sorts of areas that they would never have accidentally got to! We invite you to take a look at the game, and to read articles and reviews at the site. Cheers! Dr. T. Sellick http://blog.aprivateaffairgame.com/ http://www.aprivateaffairgame.com/

When the opportunity arises...
- I have been married almost 20 years. We have, in recent years, realized that we were becoming distant due to the demands of daily life, three kids, reserve depolyments, and long working hours (70-80 hrs/wk). We now try to do SOMETHING together at least once a week (when he's in country). We go to the shooting range on "Ladies' Night", drive-in and dollar movies, dinner, go "parking", go take a ride on my husband's motorcycle and discover areas of our town we have never seen- like mysterious back roads, walks on the beach or a local marina at sunset, or even a casual shopping trip at Wal-Mart where we can browse, share ideas, thoughts, and wants is enlightening. We both offer ideas and pick a few to try to do throughout each month. Just spending time together has made all of the difference! With the economy the way it is, we try to find inexpensive, but different, things to try. Even a trip to the local state park for a walk, bike ride, nature hike, and/ or a picnic is great!!

Picnic at home
- I think a romantic picnic in the comfort of your home is always nice. Followed by a nice romantic or funny movie.
