The Healthy Relationship Dating Program If the date idea you select doesn't have a suggestion to strengthen your relationship then click here and print out a topic from the Keys to Unlocking the Door to a Healthy and Happy Marriage Pamphlet Series. Take the pamphlet along on your date and read it together. Don't skip this step!!!! That would be like Tiger Woods saying he no longer needed to learn anything about the game of golf. Even if you have the best relationship in the world you can always learn something new to make it even better. If you would like a weekly reminder to go on a date, suggestion of a fun date to go on, and money saving coupons to restaurants that deliver or offer take-out, video stores and other fun things you can do at home than sign up for the free weekly date reminder service. Click here to subscribe to the weekly date reminder Don't forget the ground rules for the healthy relationship dating program. 1. NO FIGHTING It is critical that you commit to making your dates a conflict free time zone. The reason why you are going on the date is to strengthen your relationship and fighting will only damage it. As soon as you feel a conflict coming on take a time out, commit to discussing the issue at a specific time in the future and immediately start a trip down memory lane by sharing some of your favorite memories you have had together. 2. No talking about problems. There is plenty of time in the week to discuss problems. While you are on a date should never be one of those times. Dating is a time for having fun and strengthening your relationship. 3. HAVE FUN Get out of your comfort zone so you can create memories that will last a life time.
