Dating is important in your marriage or relationships. It is important to spend quality time together. It is important to get out, have some fun, adventure, and experience things together.

So what is a date? It is more than going out and getting food. It is three to four hours long and involves fun activities and events. A date is not shopping. A date does not include running errands. It is not a place to discuss problems or your business. It is not a family event (although those are good to do as well).

Establish a frequency and time to date. You can go once a week or every other week for example. Pick a day that is good for both of you. Get a babysitter for the kids if you need to or have family watch them.

A date is a place you can go to just to enjoy the environment or an event. You want to rotate responsibility. For the first date, you can choose where you want to go. Pick a place you enjoy or a venue you want to have fun at. For the second date, your partner or spouse can pick a place where they want to go. Pick your date place for you. Do not try to make your partner happy by choosing the "perfect place" for them.

Inpatient treatment for sex addiction was the first modality for treating sex addiction. This type of treatment is where addicts visit a treatment center and spend a set period of time there at the facility. Most programs and facilities include nursing care, psychological counseling, classes, exercises and other amenities. This is a great treatment option if someone has a dual diagnosis like major depression and sex addiction. Thoroughly research a facility to make sure they have the resources and treatments you need to fight your addiction.

Intensive treatment options are one of the best options for treating sexual addiction. Intensives are 3 or 5 days long and are focused on directly treating sex addiction within a more reasonable amount of time compared to an inpatient program. Intensives involve counseling sessions, assignments, homework and support groups. Intensive attendees stay at a hotel during the intensive process. When scheduling an intensive, make sure the program has experience, certifications and specialization in the field of sex addiction treatment. Learn more at https://drdougweiss.com/intensives

The outpatient treatment process for sex addiction is where you go see a local counselor. You usually go to the counseling sessions one or twice a week, attend 12 step support groups and make use of resources they recommend. You want to find a treatment specialist who is certified in treating sexual addiction. One of the best certifications to have is by the American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy. It's called SRT - Sexual Recovery Therapist. Also, find a program that uses a treatment modality that is beneficial to both you and your partner or spouse. This treatment option is less effective than inpatient or intensive treatment options. Learn more at https://drdougweiss.com/counseling
