Whether you’re a believer or not, research is clear about the importance of date nights, especially for parents. According to a recent study published by the Gottman Institute (which has become the basis for the book Eight Dates), “couples who go on a weekly date have better relationships”. Period.
Yes, it’s easy to get busy and overwhelmed as a parent, making it feel impossible to even sneak away from your responsibilities for a minute, let alone an entire evening. But that’s where the logic begins to break: Taking care of your relationship is a parenting responsibility, albeit one that is regularly overlooked by stressed-out, overwhelmed parents. Your kids are, of course, wonderful. And, yes, they deserve your attention, love, and affection. They are, however, no excuse to neglect your marriage or your relationship with your partner. After all, that significant other is just as important! Making time for date night (or date morning or afternoon) is an investment in your relationship. And, when your relationship succeeds, you actually improve your ability to parent. No matter how much you think “you’ve got this” in your relationship, the truth is that if you’re not making regular commitments to each other, then you are neglecting it. By ensuring that you get out regularly on a one-on-one date, you’ll quickly start to see the benefits - both in your relationship and in your parenting. Three of the biggest benefits of enjoying regular date time as parents are…
The most important part of regular dating for parents is that it strengthens their relationship, creating a better foundation for parenting - one that allows kids to thrive. Toss your excuses and reservations to the side and start planning!

This is a true life experience with Doctor Odunga who helped me save my marriage from jeopardy. My name is Kimberly Dillimore and I live in North Carolina. My husband and I have been married for over 6 years. We didn't have any children. My husband was not happy with this because we have tried for many years now to have a child that we thought of adopting but the idea wasn't the best for us. So I resorted to the search for spell casters. I contacted 2 different spell casters and I never got my desire nor my solution. My time, effort and energy became a wasted issue on it but months later, I met Doctor Odunga through a testimony written by a woman named Clara about how Doctor Odunga helped her get her ex husband back to her and I decided to give this man a try to see what comes out of it. After meeting with him, I explained everything to him and he told me not to worry. I am very happy to say that within a week of contact, I conceived and became pregnant. Before my contact with Doctor Odunga, my husband has been against anything I do but now he is very happy with me and takes care of me. Please contact and meet Doctor Odunga if you are passing through any difficulty in life at [email protected]
