My wife and I went out on a nice date last night. We went for a little hike along a trail at a local creek, which we had never been to before. Then we went out to dinner at a nice restaurant and ate a duck.
We hadn't been on a date in a few weeks, so it was really nice to have some time just to talk to each other and be together.
Like other Mormons, marriage and family is very important to me. See, for example, this excerpt from the Church's page on marriage:
Because marriage is such an important relationship in life, it needs and deserves time over less-important commitments. Couples can strengthen their marriage as they take time to talk together and to listen to one another, to be thoughtful and respectful, and to express tender feelings and affection often.
I'd like to bear my testimony of this principle. I know it's true.
