Romantic tips on Dating, Love & Keeping the Spice in your a Relationship

During engagement season I collected dating advice from several couples, single individuals, married couples, and newlyweds. I called, associates, a old high school classmate, close friends, family, in-laws, small business owners, past clients, wedding planners and even my Mother & Father that been married almost 50 years their thoughts!

It was very interesting to get everyone's advice on love, dating, and romance! I hope you enjoy these awesome tips as much as I did! Many thanks to everyone that participated.
