The month of May is designated as "Date Your Mate Month," giving us all a wonderful reminder to make the time to date that special someone, whether you're fairly new to each other or you've already been married for years.  These dates don't have to be elaborate, as long as you make an effort to plan ahead and do something together.

Some examples would be a movie, a boat ride, a romantic stroll, or a night of dancing after dinne...
