Brett Young and his wife broke up many times before they got married, if fact he says the experience was one of his biggest influences in his writing.  So if he was to give “advice” on marriage…it would be… “One that I was given, that really, really worked for us when we first got married, was just because you’re married doesn’t mean you can stop dating. You gotta keep dating, and you have to make time, you have to be intentional about setting dates. That worked for us, now we have two young girls, and we like, for a second we forgot to do that.
