It's a little cheesy (blame the amateur acting skills of yours truly and my husband, Swen!), but you get the general idea.  Research shows having fun together increases satisfaction in the marriage.  Couples get so busy and tired, they often forget to make time for each other.  When couples make opportunities for leisure time together, though, they report more love and less conflict in their marriage.  It's worth it!  Schedule some time together today!  (or forget a schedule and be spontaneous! ;) )

    Rebecca! This was the best! I was smiling the whole time. I feel that this could be a legit film that could be shown at a conference ha. Well, that is a bit extreme, but I really liked your video. It was personal and very informative. Thanks for the creative approach on this film!

  2. Oh ya....I remember you...you're cute! LOL
    Great Video!

    Thanks, Oliver! Making this video unexpectedly turned out to be a pretty fun date night! Korin--I warned you it was cheesy!!! I rolled my eyes a bit when those words came out of his mouth, but we went with it! :)

    Very cool video. I have found that very evident in my relationship that when we have fun and make time for that we are so much happier. And we've been able to make it happen even in times of great stress and busy times.
