Consider these ideas below and maybe 2018 will be the best yet...
1. Plan a weekend away.
Sit down with your sweetheart (and your calendars) and plan a getaway. Whether you go to the other side of town or pack a big suitcase, make it happen.

2. Have a regular date night.
Don’t wait for the sneaky rendezvous weekend – do something fun together regularly. My husband and I catch a local cheap film and grab a cup of coffee every Friday night. Sometimes we get crazy and simply browse at the big box hardware store.
Whether once a week or once a month, make your dates regular, low-budget, and low stress.

The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals. --Melody Beattie
4. Create a will.
Now we’re getting serious. But, it’s important. And, it’s usually one of those things couples put off. It really doesn’t take a lot of effort, and it’s one of those must-do things – especially if you have children. If you have legal insurance, contact your provider.
