The Romance Exchange

One of the ways we want to use this blog is to allow great thoughts or ideas from our folks to get around so we can all benefit. For example, how many couples have said something like, “I wish we could come up with some creative ideas for our date nights.”?

Well, let’s make it happen here. If you send us a date idea, or creative romantic idea that we post, and if someone else actually uses that idea and responds to the post with a recommendation, we’ll give a gift certificate for a local restaurant to both the couple with the original idea, and the first couple to respond to the post AFTER they have tried the idea.

For example. Suppose John and Julie Jones find a great getaway (or a clever way to celebrate an anniversary) and they send their idea to us. And we post it on a Wedded Wednesday. Then suppose Steve and Sally Smith say, “Wow, what a great idea! Let’s try it”. And they do, and it actually works for them as well. Then they can reply to the Smith idea post at Family Life Blog. Once somebody tries the idea and replies to us about it, the Jones will receive a gift certificate for their idea. And if Steve and Sally were the first to get back to us with their experience – they will also receive a gift certificate.

So how do you send an idea? Here are some important questions to answer in your submission.

· Your names

· A description of what you did (as much detail as will be helpful to give another couple not only directions about what you did, but vision for why it might work for them)

· The amount of time it took and what day(s) and times might be best for it

· The total cost (can be ‘under $25’, under $75, etc. we don’t need an exact cost)

· A link or address or phone number for somebody to check it out on their own.

To send an idea, simply hit comment on any Wedded Wednesday post and we’ll get it. So get out there and make some romance happen! Good things await us all.
