Weekly Date Night

A new study shows just how important having a weekly date with your spouse really is. The study suggests that instead of just doing the same thing each week, like dinner and a movie, that couples should tailor their date nights around new and different activities that they both enjoy. Introducing new and novel activities such as trying new food at a new restaurant, taking an art class, or going to an amusement park activates the brain's reward system, flooding it with dopamine and norepinephrine which are linked to the romantic feelings experienced during courtship.
