Bruce and Valerie Cadle married on Oct. 12, 1975, as the sun rose over Indialantic beach. After 35 years of marriage, the two still date every week. “Too often couples drift apart because they aren’t making time for each other,” Bruce said. “By continuing to date, we keep our relationship our top priority.” The Cadles started dating 28 years ago, when Bruce asked Valerie if they could have a scheduled night together every week. With a tight budget and a child at home, the conventional dinner on the town was not an option. Instead, the couple came up with a way to spend an affordable evening together without sacri�icing any romance. On Friday nights, after their daughter was tucked in, Bruce would cook Valerie a fancy (but easy) dinner. Date night became a priority that the couple looked forward to all week long. “It has evolved. Now Bruce likes cooking,” Valerie joked. So much, in fact, that Bruce began posting on Facebook what he was cooking for each date night. After receiving great feedback, he was inspired to audition for The Next Food Network Star Youtube Challenge in July of 2010. His video demonstration of how to make a smoked salmon martini landed him a spot as a �inalist in the competition. Presort Std U.S. Postage PAID Orlando, FL Permit No. 1979

Marc Murphy, a judge on Food Network’s Chopped, raves about the book in a review, saying “it’s �illed with helpful hints about dating, marriage
and life in general.” “We want to help other people learn to do what we’re doing,” Bruce said. “We want to help people have better marriages.” After watching their mom and dad celebrate date night throughout their childhoods, Bruce and Valerie’s children now have date night with their loved ones. “They understand the importance of spending time
