When was the last time you and your spouse really laughed together? In this week's episode of Thriving in Tandem, Robert and Kay Lee dive deep into a topic too many married entrepreneurs overlook—fun. After returning from an 18-day dream vacation in Italy and hosting their first "Thriving in Tandem Date Night," they realized just how many couples have stopped making space for joy. Between business demands, family responsibilities, and endless to-do lists, fun often gets pushed aside. Robert and Kay Lee share creative, budget-friendly ways to bring fun back into your marriage without waiting for the "perfect" time or a big trip. From driveway date nights to free concerts in the park, they remind us that joy isn't about extravagance—it's about intentionality. They also reveal how planning events for their married entrepreneur community has given them built-in reasons to prioritize their own date nights and adventures. This episode is full of practical ideas, relatable laughs, and a powerful reminder that fun is essential for a thriving marriage and business. Whether it's putting date nights on the calendar, joining in-person gatherings, or even "forcing" fun through memberships or pre-paid trips, Robert and Kay Lee challenge you to stop waiting and start creating shared memories now.
