1. Agree to have ten dates with your mate. It really doesn't
matter who found the book and whose idea it was. The
important thing is that both of you are willing to have ten dates
to enrich your marriage.

2. Schedule your dates and write them in your calendar.

3. Clear your schedule. This may include getting a sitter and
putting off some seemingly urgent tasks.

4. Plan for interruptions. Despite the best planning, at times
children get sick or other unexpected problems arise, and
you will have to change your plans. When this happens,
reschedule your date for the same week, if possible, and
persevere. Hang in there and value your time together. Our
friends Florence and Charlie know what it means to
persevere. They planned a weekend away to go through this
book. Charlie made the hotel reservatiaons and Florence
arranged for a sitter and cooked food ahead. But at the last
minute, their daughter broke out with chicken pox.
The second time, the sitter got sick! Only after the third try did
their plans actually work.

5. Anticipate each date. Let your spouse know you're looking
forward to time together. Be clever. Send notes, and give
hints that you're anticipating a great date with your mate.

6. Before the date, read the short chapter and note key
topics to discuss. If you fill out the short exercise before the
the date, you'll have more time for intimate conversation. But if
not, you can do the exercise during the date.

7. Follow our simple guide for each date. One caution: Don't
use date time to deal with problems. Also, if you have
children, leave them with a sitter, and don't utter their names until the date is over!

8. Stay positive! Hold hands. Cuddle. It's hard to be negative
when you're holding hands. Plan each date around something
you enjoy doing. For us, if we really want to talk, we have a
"Walk and Talk" date and go to the park, or to our favorite
coffee shop for two cups of cappuccino.

9. Be future focused. Even though you may discuss past
issues, focus on the future. Ask yourself questions such as
"What have we learned that can make a difference next week and next month?"

10. Get started! Good marriages take time. We've found that
the key to building a successful marriage is actually taking
the time to work on the relationship. Perhaps, like us, you
keep waiting to win a two-week cruise for two, or for the kids
to grow up, or for twenty-four hours of uninterrupted time to
be marvelously dropped into your lap, complete with coupons
for a candlelight dinner for two and a night away at a posh
hotel. We would all like gifts like these, but in reality, most of us
live in a perpetual time crunch. That's why we designed
these dates to be simple, practical, interactive, and fun.

Come on...with a setup like this, don't you want to see what happens NEXT?!!!
