Barack Obama reveals how he swept Michelle off her feet

Mrs Obama
continues: “He showed his cultural side and then we took a nice long
walk down Michigan Avenue,” according to the first lady.

Mr Obama, again smiling at the camera, adds: “Kind of romantic.”

Mrs Obama struggles to recall whether they went for dinner before or after the
museum, before her husband corrects her, saying: “We didn’t have dinner
we actually had lunch, at the Art Institute. There’s a little courtyard with
a little fountain. Yeah it was very nice.”

Mrs Obama added: “He showed all the sides – he was hip, cutting edge,
cultural, sensitive. The fountain – nice touch. The walk – patient.”

Looking pleased with himself, Mr Obama again smiles at the camera and says: “Take
tips, gentlemen.”

Mr and Mrs Obama, who met when he was a summer associate at Sidley Austin, the
law firm she worked at, married three years later in 1992.

It is not the first time the couple have given romantic advice. They have
previously spoken about the importance of married couples on making time for
each other, setting aside evening regularly for “date nights”.

In an interview with the cable network TVOne in 2009, Mrs Obama said the
couple have managed to make their relationship work despite having to
overcome often being large distances apart.

She said: “We learned how to sustain our relationship at a distance which
is why carving out that time making sure that we have Friday or Saturday
date nights making sure that it is not a just a movie. Because you can’t
talk at a movie, you can’t ask questions and look him in the eye so we
usually go out to dinner.”

Mrs Obama said that keeping romance alive in a relationship is also good for
the children.

She said: “My eldest daughter says ‘It makes me feel good to see you and
dad hold hands’. We forget about that. We think they don’t care about that
but they like the fact that they know we love each other, that gives them
security. Sometimes you lose sight of that, they want to know that my mother
and father love each other.

“For all the parents out there: have your date nights because it is
important to kids to know that their parents are connecting.”

Mrs Obama has also given dating tips. In an interview with CBS in 2009 she
told a viewer who had asked for advice: “The advice I would give to
woman: don’t look at the bank book or the title. Look at the heart, look at
the soul.

“Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women and
how he acts with children that he doesn’t know and more important how does
he treat you?

“When you’re dating a man you should always feel good you should never be
in a relationship with a man who doesn’t make you completely happy and make
you feel whole.

“Find that person that brings you complete an utter joy.”
