“I implore husbands to take their wives out and vice versa; it is a good opportunity to mend little cracks in their marriages that might transform into big dispute tomorrow.
“Going out to a serene atmosphere to unwind also affords the couples the opportunity to communicate better, air out and solve issues of dispute.
“The best time to get anything from anyone is when they are happy; if there is any misunderstanding between the couples, they can use the opportunity to settle it and makeup.
