Buffalo Chip Saloon

If you're looking for a night out that's a true Southwestern experience, this is it. The Buffalo Chip Saloon in Cave Creek is an old west style bar, that also features live bull riding with real cowboys (not the kind that ride the mechanical bulls at other places) on Wednesdays and Fridays. Just watch your step, not all of the buffalo chips are dry.

UPDATE: The Buffalo Chip Saloon experienced a devastating fire on 11/26/2015 and is closed until further notice. To make a donation to help the employees of "the Chip" go to their website http://www.buffalochipsaloon.com/

After the date ask your spouse what they need from you.  Talk about what support they need, and how you can best help them accomplish their goals. Sharing with each other ways in which you can support each other, will keep your marriage fresh and alive.

It's football season, how about a game night at home?  Cheer on your favorite team and share some stadium foods too.  Hot dogs, nachos, whatever is your thing.  Root and cheer and enjoy your time together.

After the game is over, talk about ways you have cheered each other on through the years.  Encouragement strengthens marriages and remembering these times of support can help you reconnect.
