4: The System for Balancing Kids and Connection with Camille Whiting

If your idea of date night is whispering “ice cream and Netflix?” after the kids are asleep, this episode is for you. I sat down with Camille Whiting of Friday We're in Love, one of my long-time internet inspirations, to talk about how to keep connection, fun, and even spontaneity alive in a long-term relationship—especially when kids, jobs, and logistics are in full chaos mode.

Camille and her husband Jacob have committed to a weekly date night for over 14 years, and she’s sharing the mindset, systems, and flexible-but-firm strategies that make it sustainable (and joyful!).

We dig into:

• How a calendar can save your marriage—and your sanity
• Creative systems for dating with kids (even with zero family help)
• Why romance thrives with structure, not just spontaneity
