Dating is important all through your life

This week in all of my classes we talked a lot about dating. The big issue we discussed in class is how much dating has changed over the past 50 years. It is apparent that dating has a much different meaning than it did 50 years ago, but something I hadn't thought about was that after marriage you should still go on dates to nurture the relationship and keep it alive. Is this maybe a reason why divorce is so eminent? I believe that by going on creative dates that no matter how old or young, you or the relationship is there is always new things to learn about that person, there is always a deeper love to be found. I don't know if any of my ideas can help you, but for about a year now, I've been working on a list of dating ideas that I have heard around and I thought I'd share them with you.
