Get Inspired…

Here we are at our final date night dare of 2011.  Hopefully you have found the dates, advice, and ideas in this year’s Sexy Couples Challenge inspiring and motivating for your relationship.  As we prepare to say goodbye to another year, I am challenging all of you to keep the sexy spirit going.  This week’s date night dare is a little different than the rest- this is not something I expect you to do in one night or one weekend; rather it is a year long challenge to keep your relationship at the top of your priority list for all of 2012!

I know that the common wisdom at the beginning of a new year is to create resolutions- to plan how you will be better or do more in the year to come.  This is a great call to action but it often becomes overwhelming… always focusing on how to improve or how to be better is exhausting.  And more importantly it overshadows the ways in which things are already going right.  So as you get ready for New Year’s Eve I want you to come together as a couple and get inspired by all the ways you have built a relationship that is amazing.  Whether its talking about how our Sexy Couples Challenge helped you or how fun your weekly date nights are or even the tough conversations you had in order to overcome a problem this year- there are many ways in which you have grown together to create a relationship that is loving and fulfilling for both of you.

Before you set goals for the new year, plan together as a couple the things you want to keep doing or do more of {date night, holding hands, cooking together, making love more often} and then make an inspiration board to capture these things in a visual way.  It can be a collage of images and words or a digital compilation of photos or even songs to help remind you of how great your love really is.  I know that there are wonderful couples out there- parents, friends, even celebrities- who have relationships that you may admire and that’s great.  But for 2012 I am challenging you to make your relationship the model that you follow- create your own rules, remember the lessons you have already learned, and keep on being a sexy couple!
