Summary
"Creating informal rituals when you can connect emotionally is critical in a marriage" ~ John M. Gottman, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
Dating your spouse consistently is the easiest thing you can do to keep your love alive - and its fun too! We have been challenged recently to spend more time with each other and just have fun. Because our work puts us in each other's orbit all the time, it can be easy for us to think that we don't need MORE time together, but we do. Date night reminds us that our relationship must come first because it is the foundation of our family. Listen in as we give some encouragement, ideas, motivation, and inspiration to always, no matter what, date your spouse.

| 0:15.4 | Hey, we are Mike and Alicia Hernin. |
| 0:17.4 | We have 10 kids and grandkids too, and we are here for every parent. Because we are on a |

| 0:30.9 | Well, hello, messy families. Thank you for joining us. For those who are watching us, |
| 0:36.6 | hello out there. It's great to, |
| 0:38.2 | to have a little video cast of this as well. They're kind of vulnerable and like still getting |
| 0:43.0 | used to it, but whatever. Whatever. I looked at myself and I'm like, man, whatever. I don't know |
| 0:48.8 | why she chose me, but I am happy she was tricked into it. Yeah. Yeah, we are in this wonderful, wonderful month of the year. |

| 1:03.3 | One, right away this week, if you're listening to this podcast, right away, we have a |
| 1:09.1 | family board meeting webinar that we're doing. And if, |
| 1:12.7 | if you can't join us live on January 25th, we invite you to watch the recording because we believe |
| 1:19.7 | this is a great time for a family board meeting. Family board meeting, if you don't know what that is, |
| 1:25.3 | where have you been? But a family board meeting |
| 1:28.9 | is an opportunity for moms and dads to come together and say, how do we live a more intentional |
| 1:35.2 | life? It's, it really has been a game changer for us. I say 15 years. Does that sound right? Something like |
