Co-Founder of MyDateNight.com Rhodri Williams commented: ‘’Every relationship starts the same way. First date nerves, butterflies, excitement and indulgent dates together. You wake up and your partner is the first thing on your mind, everything falls behind. As time progresses we get comfortable together, fall into a routine and inevitably romance takes a back seat with the pressures of daily life, work commitments, children etc. My Date Night was created for this very reason, to encourage busy couples to invest romantic time in each other and allow their relationship to flourish. We are urging couples to recognise the importance of quality time together to support their relationship. Whatever daily pressures we face, continued love and romance are key, after all it’s better together.’’

Importantly, MyDateNight.com found that 4 in 5 (78%) women and 7 in 10 (71%) men agree that their last date night helped them to feel closer to their partner. This is also more evident among younger respondents over 4 in 5 (83%) aged 25-34 and (83%) aged 35-44 compared to three quarters (74%) aged 45-54, two thirds (67%) aged 55-64 and 2 in 5 (62%) aged 65+.
