I am naturally a systems and planning guy, I am addicted to Evernote as a way to keep my life moving forward with working for a church full-time and also being the creative principle of a Design Agency. With all of this in mind I like to plan out ahead …. way ahead sometimes and this has been a great help in my marriage as for most of it I have been pretty intentional about dating my wife every other week, taking breaks to get away from the kids and a number of other things that I will develop as long as I continue to write these tips.

So For 2012 Here Is What You Can Do …. Date Night

  • Write a list of 4 intentional ways to WOW your spouse in 2012  (365 days is a long time so spread it out)

Check out this post for ideas – or search ‘date ideas’ or ‘date night’ on google

You might want to write more but stick with 4 for now ….. if you pull them off then you can work on some more. 

  • This can be as simple as a date night or a Weekend to Remember with Family Life
  • Find a friend that can hold you accountable for this (I can help if need be) Email them the list with the dates that you have set
  • Take care of child care ahead of time for your date night
  • Put it in your calendar [Hope you use one - if not get started with this basic productivity tip]

Date Night Idea #1

Here we go with Date Night Idea #1 In the rush of life sometime we are overwhelmed to even get ourselves thinking towards a “date night” with our spouse.

This is so simple and takes after the NIKE symbol – JUST DO IT………. JUST DO IT and get out to have a date night!

IDEA #1 For Danielle and I sometimes the simplest form of a date is getting out to Barnes & Nobel to drink coffee and read magazines.

For some of you right now I know you are thinking …. I have kids and no money to get a babysitter or dont trust anyone…….. well then get desperate and stil go to Barnes & Nobel but grab your coffee, magazines (Danielle gets the girl magazines and I tend to pick up the latest hand gun magazine or Fast Company) and HEAD towards to children’s section where Thomas the Tank engine lives and a few other toys they can play with.

HERE IS THE BIG IDEA for your Date Night Idea ….. You marriage does not grow by osmosis …. you have to work on it.
