Now, you might have been on some dates,
but ask yourself honestly….
How many times in the last month have you
been on a date like THAT?
None?
If the answer is none, then as my daughter
would say, “That’s N’OK!”
You MUST date your partner – it’s not optional!
It’s not like organizing your linen closet or
your pantry – where you’ll get to it when you
have time! You must MAKE time.
Dating your partner is not an optional piece
if you want to create an unshakable love
and unleashed passion! It’s not something
you can put to the side until you have time,
because guess what? That’s NEVER going
to happen!
Who the hell has time?! It’s not going to
magically appear. We all have the same
24 hours in a day! Trust me, I’m as busy as
anyone else!! AND… I always make time to
date Paul (every week).
Dating is something you have to deliberately
schedule and make time for.
Today, I’m going to share a few tools and
strategies for how to date your partner and
have a ROCKIN’, awesome time!
But before I do, I need to talk to you
about the difference between ‘dating’ and
‘going out’!
When I first explain that they need to date
their partner, my students will say,
“Oh…. Yeah, we go out….”
The energy behind that statement is lame
enough to let me know they DEFINITELY
haven’t been on a date!
There is a HUGE difference between the
energy of just ‘going out’ and going on a
date!
DATING YOUR
PARTNER IS NOT
OPTIONAL IF YOU
WANT TO CREATE AN
UNSHAKABLE LOVE
AND UNLEASHED
PASSION!
– STACEY MARTINO
You can go out by just physically leaving
your house with your partner next to you.
When you go out, you might still be dressed
in the same clothes that you were wearing
when you were with the kids all day.
When you go out, you might talk about all
of the same things you were back at the
house. You’re just not being interrupted
every 3 seconds by the kids!

of laughter? Where you treated it like you
would a first date – doing your hair, putting on
makeup, and wearing sexy grownup clothes
that you wouldn’t wear around the house to
clean or take care of the kids? Where you
spent time fantasizing about where it might
lead afterward?
