A date-night guide for busy couples who miss the sparks (and have no time and little money to spend).

Hello, married lovelies. This weekend we want you to put on your hottest "kiss me" dress, your highest "ravage my body" heels and go on a super-steamy date with...your husband. Yep. Remember him? That guy you once couldn't keep your pretty hands off of? If the kids, work, money probs and all those bills have got in the way of what used to be a totally hot-and-heavy relationship with your man, we've got your one-way ticket back to datesville.

Set the Date
Make a commitment with your hubby to have date night once a week. Don't think you have time? That's funny. How is that you can pencil in a mani/pedi, take on extra work assignments, drive the kiddos to soccer practice and do the laundry -- all in one day? Because you make time. If you don't make lovey-dovey time with your hubby a priority, it will never happen.

Ship the Kids Off
Sitters are expensive. And the thought of leaving your cute little spawn home alone to wreck the place and put glue in each other's hair is stomach churning. So what's a couple on a budget to do? Check with your family members or friends who also have kids. If your mom won't take them, maybe you can initiate a trade with friends. You take their kids one Saturday night, they take yours the next.

Be A Cheap Date
Who says you need the best table and a bottle of bubbly at the trendiest new bistro? Skip the glitz and glamour and go on a romantic walk in the park. (Then makeout behind a tree like you're kids again!) Or go to the coffee shop, grab some super comfy stuffed chairs and just talk for hours like you used to.

Don't Take "No" for An Answer
Can't find someone to take the kids or don't have a single dime to spend on a hot night on the town? Put the wee ones to bed an hour early on Saturday nights, light some candles and let the magic happen. If you're not feeling frisky, take some time to actually talk, cuddle and catch up on what's happening in each other's lives. It's just as intimate and important as sex -- and you don't have to worry about the kiddos walking in and being scarred for eternity!
