I read fitness blogs because somewhere in me I want to get in better shape. So I read about how I should eat more fruit. And do at least 15 minutes of cardio a day. And always, always, ALWAYS stretch.
Then I go to McDonald’s. And I order lots of french fries and convince myself that potatoes are fruits.
My point is reading and doing are WAY different things.
Amazon has over 7,000 matches for books on ‘relationship advice’. Over 7,000 different books filled with tons of advice on how to make our relationships stronger, better, healthier.
All this and America’s divorce rate continues to climb.
We’re great at reading and seeking out advice to make our relationships better, but we’re not always the best at “walking it out”. And just like fitness advice, maintaining a healthy relationship is usually done with little steps. Like focus on why you’re thankful for your spouse. Or hug each other 3 times today. Or make out.
But just like the fitness advice, relationship advice goes in one ear and out the other if we don’t find a way to start practicing right now.
Which is why I’d like to introduce you to the Nashville Marriage Studio Date Night.
Most couples don’t need counseling or a week full of intense workshops, they just need a little “kick in the butt”. You know all those “little things” you should be doing to make your relationship better, but aren’t? Nashville Marriage Studio Date Night is here to help.
October’s Date Night activity is going to be a coffee date at The Perch (follow them on Twitter, too), a great little cafe in Brentwood.
On October 24th starting at noon you can stop by The Perch order some coffee and crepes (I’ve only heard amazing things about the crepes). Let them know you’re there on a Nashville Marriage Studio date and they’ll give you the Date Night activity. The date night activity will be a simple & fun exercise for you and your honey to do that will remind you of some good habits to get into.
This isn’t counseling, or a workshop and you won’t even see Nashville Marriage Studio there. But you will have carved a small time out of your weekend to spend with your sweetie and shared in an activity that will improve your relationship in small but significant ways.
You don’t have to sign up, but I’d love to know if who all is going to show up so let me know in an email (marie.mckinney@gmail.com), on Twitter or on Facebook!

I LOVE this idea! What a great excuse for a date and to get to know each other better, especially in the midst of planning a wedding. I would love to talk more about what services you provide brides and the chance to share Wedding 101 with you.
