Remember how much fun dating was when you were a teenager? Remember the anticipation?

Nothing else seemed to matter all week long as you looked forward to the weekend.

Remember what it was like to have long talks and take long walks? Remember those special dinners? Dancing?

Remember how great it felt to just “be” with that special someone?

So, what happened? We got married and stopped dating. We somehow thought those magical feelings would last forever, but they gradually faded away.

When we were dating, the whole world revolved around our beloved. Nothing and no one else really seemed to matter as long as we had each other.

The days leading up to the wedding were like walking on clouds. She seemed like the only one in the room when she walked down the aisle. The ceremony flew by. I do, she does, the kiss, the reception, the honeymoon…

Then came the daily grind and all the distractions. Buying a home, working overtime to pay for the new home, new furniture, the first pet, the baby, the next baby and the next. Then, school, dance classes, soccer games and an endless array of activities.

By the end of the day there is no energy left for romance. The weekends are so busy. Vacations with kids are fun but certainly not romantic. Gradually, without even realizing it, you drift apart. You still love each other, but if the truth was told, that fire you felt when you first met is long gone.

What is the solution? Date Nights! Date Nights can reignite the flames of passion you used to feel. Date Nights are a proactive way to keep romance alive and focus on each other.

Valerie and I want to invite you to return to your honeymoon. The romance and fun really doesn’t have to end!

How do you return to your honeymoon? Start doing the things you used to do! A weekly Date Night is the best place to start!

Valerie and I were just teenagers when we got married. We didn’t have any money. I didn’t even have a job. My mother gave us two nights at a Howard Johnson Motel in Sarasota, Florida, for our honeymoon. Not exactly the honeymoon that people dream of. We stopped at a store and bought a box of Chicken in a Biskit crackers, a package of assorted flavors of Cracker Barrel cheese and a Sprite.

I still remember sitting out by the motel’s pool in the evening eating those snacks. For many years after that, on our anniversary and on New Year’s Eve, we would buy those same snacks and reflect on the early days of our marriage.

As you will find in this book, our “snacks” have improved. So has our marriage—because we constantly seek to improve our romance and our relationship.

The great thing about establishing a Date Night is that it is not a burden; it is a blessing because Date Nights are Fun, Fancy, Easy and Affordable!
