Date night

Like you needed another reason to complain about your relationship: Here, the NY Times writes how couples are jealous of the Obamas' aww-inducing date nights.

Despite his busy schedule, President Obama still schedules "Michelle time," the article notes.

Of course, you can argue it's easy for the first couple to be romantic. They have access to things like private jets and limos. Not to mention the fact that there's a little more pressure to be publicly affectionate when there's cameras on you all the time.

That aside, the whole "date night" concept is interesting. It's nice to have pre-scheduled rituals, a weekly dinner that you can anticipate nights in advance.

But spontaneity is also important, and weekly 8 p.m. pizza nights can quickly transform from romantic to relationship rut.

Scheduling time with your partner: Tacky or romantic?
