Gwyneth Paltrow plans dates to put "the fire" into her marriage

The actress has two children with her musician husband Chris Martin, but their hectic schedules mean they sometimes have to spend prolonged periods apart. Despite rumours their romance has been going through a rocky patch, Gwyneth has always insisted she and Chris are happier than ever.

They work hard to ensure they make time for romance, with Gwyneth recently planning a series of intimate nights out for the two of them. "She schedules date nights wherever possible," a source explained. "It`s helped put the fire back in their marriage."

Last month, the pair were spotted dining at New York eatery Casa Mono, and amazed onlookers with how in love they seemed. They didn`t stop talking for the whole evening, with Chris cuddling his wife throughout the night.

Gwyneth recently hinted she is ready for another child, and those close to the couple say she has made a huge effort to spend more time with her family in recent months. "Gwyneth has learned to remind Chris how important he is to her," the source added to National Enquirer magazine. "She`s also figuring out how to relax and not stress every detail."
