The Valentine’s Day Dream Date
If you’re parents, I’m decently confident that what I’m about to suggest is a dream date for her.
• YOU find the babysitter. Start the date by taking that mental load off her shoulders. Shoot the text and make sure the sitter can make mac and cheese for dinner and put the kids to bed for real. Make sure that expectation is communicated.
• Make a dinner reservation.
• Invite her to dress up (if she hangs out here with me, I bet she has some fun ideas already) and tell her you’ll dress nicely, too.
• Put your phones away. Let the babysitter know you’re the emergency contact and let your wife turn off her phone. But let her take a good picture of the two of you first.
• Ask her questions. DON’T ask her about the kids or the bank account. Ask what she’s excited about. Ask if she’s had her eye on anything online. Ask her what book she’s reading or what podcast she’s listening to. Listen to her answers and engage. And when she asks you questions, answer in thoughtful, complete sentences.
• Don’t go home till the kids are asleep. For real.
• Give her her Valentine’s Day presents. (I’ve got links for you- just comment VALENTINE.)
• When she puts on the lingerie, LIGHT HER UP with sincere compliments. You’re damn lucky. Tell her that.
• Make the night about her. The more fun she’s having, the more fun you’ll have. It’s science.
• Let this be the beginning (or continuation) of a connection that lasts way past Valentine’s night.
