Don't waste your money
This is a truely stupid book.Most of the ideas are simple common sense.If you can't think of them on your own, you are a really lousy date.There are not 2002 ideas. Most of the ideas are repedative--listen to rock music, listen to blues music, listen to country music.Great! What do you do with the next two hours?Most of the "ideas" aren't even long enough to make a date out of.Washing your dog only takes ten minute, and really isn't much of a date.The book is terrible and I can't believe anyone wrote it much less said, "this is great. Let's publish it."
Fun
This book is fantastic in it's simplicity. It's true some are quite obvious but it is informative, fun and fantastic for any relationship.
Helpful reminders with some new ideas
Yes, it's true--some of these ideas should be obvious to those of us with any imagination...however, when the first glow of a relationship has dimmed a bit and especially when the children have arrived, it can be difficult to think of what to do on a date even when you are finally alone together with time on your hands.Do you do the predictable and go to a movie and dinner--both mediocre usually--or do you brainstorm some fresh, inexpensive, or at least different (for you) ideas?When you're fatigued from dealing with children (and maybe your aging parents too)brainstorming about "fun" isn't your strong suit at present.When I went through the many ideas from this book, I marked those I liked in pencil. Now sometimes, towards mid-week, I'll open the book to a page and pick out a couple of ideas for the next time my husband and I get out of the house together.These reminders and a few new ideas (and even praying together can be a way to communicate about key issues and enjoy more intimacy if you bring a diverse assortment of devotional and spiritual books to the table and take turns)can spark some fun times and closeness if you actually DO them!
Everything you can think of
This has everything from corny to realistic to romantic. A great book for keeping a relationship fresh.
In Agreement
I would definitely agree with those who wrote that this book appeared to be put together after an all-night brainstorming session. I wouldn't consider "pray together" to be a date. I think for a date you should read this book with your date and laugh at most of the stupid ideas. If you are looking for creative and fun date ideas I'd highly recommend going to 300creativedates. com and check out the material there. I loved the ideas.
