Truth or Dare ? LOL .. Sounds like divorce planning.

I'm glad I'm not married to whoever wrote this list. It's awful.

To make the evening more memorable for him, add the words, "and then have sex", to each one of the selections.

If you're bored in life or with your marriage, it's because YOU ARE boring.

Send the wife shopping and spend the day with your girlfriend.

For couples who don't have the money to spend on a babysitter or have way too many after work obligations, call in sick and have a playdate in bed -- order in movies, pizza and have a great time with each other until the kiddies are ready to come home....

Taking a class is not a date, it's more like a part time job.

Better:

1. Threesome with neighbor's hot 20 year old daughter.
2. Tantric sex workshop/Calistoga spa weekend.
3. Talk about our feelings, cry (prerequisite to the other two).

how about going to a very private scenic overlook and balling in the back of the suv....and then do it again.

I don't know about giving blood. I always feel weak and puke-y after that. Grabbing a camera and taking pics in a cool part of town or out in nature is something my hottie helllenic hubby and I have done a few times. Here are some useful romance tips. www.synergybyjasmine.com/romantic-ideas-romance-ideas-romance-tips/

My husband and I took swing dancing lessons together and it was really fun, besides that there are pool halls to have a few drinks and make fun of each others pool playing, adult shops to poke around and make fun of stuff together (maybe buy something fun ;) We also took a kayak trip to a winery and brought water guns to shoot at each other on the way there. There is so much fun to be had out in the world, just so few people that actually do it. And if all else fails, shoot some zombies together on the xbox. That's love right there!

Must have taken a long time to come up with the material for this article huh?

Also, slide shows are damn annoying.
