According to the star, she and Chip have a one-date-per week rule in their home. She says that this allows her and Chip to enjoy other romantic holidays a little differently. Here's what she had to say.
"Since Chip and I try to go on a date once a week, we don't feel the need to keep holidays like Valentine's Day all to ourselves," she says. "We set the table fancy, we all get dressed up, and we serve a big, beautiful candlelight dinner. It's our kids' favorite too. I'll never forget one year we served lobster, and Chip chased all the kids around the house with a lobster. It was hilarious!"
If you are a fan of the show, you can probably notice that Chip and Joanna appear to have a healthy relationship. Naturally, their relationship has had some rough spots. But, in the end, the couple says they try to have fun with their differences and support each other as much as they can. You can hear them talk about their relationship in this video.
