The food looks amazing! Yes dates are so important! And it is nice to mix them up, make them creative. hehe that was why I wrote a book on creative dates, to help people get ideas for things to do. I think even if you have been married 20 30 years you should still make time for date night. Which could be something as simple as a nice stroll through the local park, filled with great conversation. And I think it definitely improves your health at least for me dates make me happy (well most of the time, I am still single...lol) not to mention your relationship "health".
