Why Date Nights Matter for Parents and Kids
00:00:00.000 | It's not just important to spend one-on-one time with each child. I think it's also important to
00:00:05.280 | make sure you're carving out one-on-one time for each other if you have a partner, because it's
00:00:10.080 | really valuable for your kids to see that being a huge priority. And I think it also helps parents
00:00:16.240 | go at raising children in more of a unified way. Yeah, I think we regularly do date nights. And
00:00:21.840 | when our children say, "No, don't leave, don't leave." We say, "It's important for mommy and
00:00:25.440 | daddy to have some time together too, just like you get to go on dates with mommy and daddy. And
00:00:29.440 | just like we have mommy and daddy play days, we need to spend time together." And I think I often
00:00:34.560 | hear some parents two, three, four years into having children that say, "Gosh, we haven't taken
00:00:39.920 | a date yet." And so we'll talk about childcare a little bit later, but I think it's really
00:00:44.080 | important. And I'm glad we've made time for that.
