“It is such a gift to give to your kids for them to see a happy, committed relationship where the parents make time to have fun together.”
DAN & ALICIA MARKER believe that to have a successful romantic relationship, making time for each other is a non-negotiable. As the Instagram creators behind @datenightdenver, the two are always out and about in Denver, finding fun date spots to highlight. Dan and Alicia’s Instagram account was born from their shared passion for food and spending time together. The account has become a platform for the Markers to encourage their followers to make dating a priority, especially after having kids.
The Markers have a bustling family of five kids aged 8–16. Dan and Alicia’s days are split between parenting duties, running their Instagram, keeping up a vibrant social life, and Dan’s full-time software consulting job. The Marker family loves to spend time together and make it a point to have weekly Sunday dinners, “Cuddle Puddle” movie nights, and birthday weekends for each family member. Despite their busy schedules, Dan and Alicia prove that with a little effort and intention, prioritizing each other and quality time with family can lead to a successful, fulfilling life.
