			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-211" title="Romantic Sunset" src="http://www.astroglide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sunset-kiss-300x294.jpg" alt="Romantic Sunset" width="241" height="236" />A few posts ago, we wrote a piece on <a href="../index.php/tips-tricks/recession-proof-your-love-life-budget-date-ideas/#Budget%20Date%20Ideas%20%7C%20The%20Glide%20Guide%20by%20Astroglide">budget date ideas</a> and it got us thinking how important date night really is for couples.  Sometimes, the pressures of adult life—mortgage payments, bills, work, children, etc—become so time-consuming that we forget to set aside a little time for (much-needed) romance. As one mother expecting twins puts it, “<a href="http://www.cafemom.com/dailybuzz/prhttp://www.cafemom.com/dailybuzz/pregnancy/6275/Stop_I_Need_a_Date_With_My_Husbandegnancy/6275/Stop_I_Need_a_Date_With_My_Husband#Stop%21%20I%20Need%20a%20Date%20With%20My%20Husband%20%7C%20CafeMom.com">Stop! I Need a Date With My Husband</a>”.</p>
<p>No matter if you are expecting, consistently caught up with work or just need to rekindle the spark in your relationship, a weekly or bi-weekly date night is a fantastic idea to make sure you and your significant other are connecting positively and enjoying each other’s company on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It doesn’t have to be expensive or elaborate—it can be as simple as taking a romantic stroll and cooking dinner together while the children stay the night at a friend or family member’s house. The important thing is to make spending time alone together a priority for you both. If you need to, <del datetime="2009-09-14T13:59" cite="mailto:Rachel%20Melville"></del>write it down in your weekly calendar<ins datetime="2009-09-14T14:00" cite="mailto:Rachel%20Melville"> </ins><del datetime="2009-09-14T14:00" cite="mailto:Rachel%20Melville"></del>so you view it as an appointment or upcoming activity.</p>
<p>How do you keep your relationship with your significant other going strong? Leave us your ideas below!<ins datetime="2009-09-14T14:00" cite="mailto:Rachel%20Melville"></ins><ins datetime="2009-09-14T14:00" cite="mailto:Rachel%20Melville"></ins><strong>Similar Posts:</strong>
