If your idea of date night is whispering “ice cream and Netflix?” after the kids are asleep, this episode is for you. I sat down with Camille Whiting of Friday We're in Love, one of my long-time internet inspirations, to talk about how to keep connection, fun, and even spontaneity alive in a long-term relationship—especially when kids, jobs, and logistics are in full chaos mode.

Camille and her husband Jacob have committed to a weekly date night for over 14 years, and she’s sharing the mindset, systems, and flexible-but-firm strategies that make it sustainable (and joyful!).

We dig into:

• How a calendar can save your marriage—and your sanity
• Creative systems for dating with kids (even with zero family help)
• Why romance thrives with structure, not just spontaneity
