Specially designed for married couples with a tight budget and small children.
A strong marriage = happy and spiritually strong children = strong eternal families.
A strong marital relationship is the foundation of an eternal family, but it requires constant maintenance. As the marital relationship goes, so goes the family unit. To keep it strong, regular sex (Yes, sex! No one gets married to be celibate) and regular weekly dates are a minimum requirement. Good thing they're both fun and get better with knowledge and time.
Here's a great date idea:
1. put the kids to bed
2. go to YouTube and make a playlist together of all your favorite songs from high school.
3. Try to remember where you were when you heard these songs.
4. Share with your spouse what these songs meant to you, who you were with, and (good or bad) what emotions they evoke. How did those events shape your life? How did they affect your perspective of life, friendship, love and sex?
Practice your listening skills, and be sure to share. This is not a time to vent all that is in your head. This is a time to share, so be careful not to hog the conversation. Keep it light and have fun.
If some of the songs were a stake dance staple for you, dance to the music together. Remembering keeps us young.
Happy Dating!

Interesting idea... But if the kids are in bed won't the music wake them up? :D
I don't have kids yet so I don't know ^^
