Date night

Date nights are amazing. They completely change the dynamic of your relationship with your spouse. For the time your out, you can chat about anything (hopefully not the kids). Last night we went to The Continental, mid-town. It was pretty cool; I'd go back. Last night we hit it up for dessert and drinks.
Dave brought some questions from a book he's reading, "Listening is an Act of Love." They were good questions. They were thought provoking. Even though we've been married for 9 years we've changed; a lot. We also had fun reminiscing about the past; laughing at old stories. Ah, the good ole days!
I used to wear home-made clothes and had long hair. Dave used to care way less about what he wears and now he consistently dresses like he has somewhere important to be.
The point is, even when you think you know someone, take the time to get to know them. Here are some of the questions to ask on your next date, with your family during Christmas or even at work over lunch...
