I know two married couples who celebrate “date night”. Every week one of the pair plans a date, and they go out to a movie or to dinner the same way they did before they got married. I know another couple that has adventure day, and one who sets off exploring in their car, choosing randomly which road to take every few miles until they get somewhere they’ve never been.

All of these couples say the same thing — that they feel jazzed and rejuvenated by stepping out of their lifestyle for that little while.

So I think it’s a good idea.

This weekend — for just a little while — I’m going to play.
