Both had previous unhappy marriages so when they met, they were determined that their marriage
would be different and successful. Many factors go into a successful marriage, and they will discuss
those in the Marriage Is Easy/Travel Blog. But, the one thing they kept coming back to was Cooking and
Wine For Lovers Nights. They came to the idea that since Kurt liked to cook and Melissa like to help, they
would have date night at home that involved dressing up, sometimes with Melissa in risqué clothing, but
always together at home alone enjoying quality time spent with each other. Kurt would make great meals with Melissa
helping and there would always be great wine to go with dinner. These nights brought them together
and increased their love and passion for one another. In Kurt’s words, “Waking up in the morning after a
Cooking and Wine For Lovers night always involved so much love. After ten years of doing them, it keeps
getting better!”
