I Dare You

Couples, when was the last time you took your spouse out on a date? What was the last romantic movie you went to? When was the last time you told your mate that you love him or her? Before you and your spouse were married, you couldn't wait to go on a date with your perfect mate and you had no trouble planing dates. Then you got married and it was wonderful, but what happened? You got too busy to go on couples' dates; you had kids who couldn't sit through long movies, and your days got so full you couldn't even stop to tell your spouse that you love him or her.

This is bad. When this happens, you know you're losing your zest for love. But the answer to this is not ending the relationship, which many people think is the answer. No, you must try as hard as you can to find your zest again. I dare you! Next time romance presents itself, don't just pass it up as a part of your day. Take it! When the kids are in bed, pop in a classic movie and snuggle up, or get a babysitter and go out for dinner. Husband, make your wife breakfast; wife, bring a surprise lunch to your husband's work. And don't forget to greet your mate every morning with an, "I love you."

Too many couples have lost their zest; will you take the dare to bring it back? How romantic can you be? I dare you to find out.
