3 Date Night Vibe Killers

We got married to enjoy (not endure) each other so let's talk about 3 things that are killing the vibe when we're together:

1. Tough Topics - Date nights are supposed to be fun, but when you talk about money (or lack thereof), your crazy sister in law or how stressful work is, it sucks the fun right out of the evening air. Discuss ahead of time what topics are off limits so you can relax and keep things positive.

2. Technology - Sometimes the best thing you can do to recharge your marriage is to unplug! Nobody likes a third wheel so consider this a notification to put away your phone and make it about the two of you.  "Hands free" date nights lead to real connection. ;)

3. Too much on your mind - It's hard to be present when you are preoccupied. Do what you must - prior to date night -to take care of pressing issues that have the potential to steal your attention. Nothing says "You matter to me!" more than giving your spouse your undivided attention.

Putting these 3 boundaries around Date Nights creates good vibes that keep our relationship going...one Marriage Minute Monday at a time!
