Something a little bit different

I recently read an article, in the Huffington Post, about an idea from the other side of the world. Norway to be exact. And no, that's not the "little bit different" referenced above.
 
It's the idea itself. Apparently, Norway's Minister for Children, Equality and Social Inclusion is trying to do something about Norway's 40% divorce rate: by encouraging couples to go on a 'date night'.
 
Solveig Horne told the Norwegian newspaper, the Aftenbladet, that she's encouraging couples to go on dates in order to rekindle their romance. Ms Horne explained "I saw the movie Date Night where an American couple try to go out to keep their relationship alive. In the film, everything goes wrong - but I thought it was a good idea."
 
If the science that says new experiences flood the human brain with dopamine (similiar to the sensations felt when first falling in love) the Norwegians could be on to something.
