How to Keep Your Romance Alive

    Meet Mike:

Mike is a goofball.

   

And When I met him, he was the ultimate bachelor. I mean seriously.... He owned not just one--but TWO kegs.

Whether you're working on the yard:
  Or on an adventure:
    Just remember, life is short--enjoy the time you have together.   And if you haven't met the right person yet, don't lose hope. I never thought I would.... BUT I did.    

What keeps your romance alive?
