spend a quality day together

Don't let another weekend pass you by. Make a date with a special loved one and devote the day to quality time! Here are 3 easy steps to make it happen.

1. clear your calendar
You clear your calendar for all sorts of stuff--haircuts, meetings, oil changes. Now is the time to clear your calendar to strengthen a special relationship. It's not difficult. Block out some time and do it.

2. select an activity
Pick an activity that has little structure. Going to a park or out to eat are good choices. There is the loose structure so you feel like you are doing something special, but not too much structure that it interferes with conversation. Movies are not a good choice, as there is not much time spent together (except for before and after the show).

3. follow the flow
Just enjoy the day. Follow where it leads you. Eat an appetizer and dessert, linger over a cup of coffee. Kick off your shoes in the park and stay until sundown. While you're relaxing and enjoying the slow pace, your relationship just got a boost in the arm quality time and bonding.
