Dale Earnhardt Jr. recently opened up on the one thing about his marriage that he finds difficult to keep track of. The 2x Daytona 500 winner got married to Amy Reimann in December 2016.
And it was the aspect of the date of their marriage that presented the challenge that Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Amy both agreed on.
During an episode of Bless Your'Hardt podcast, Earnhardt Jr. shared a life hack with the listeners. As Amy Earnhardt reminded her listeners to honor their mothers with Mother's Day coming up, the NASCAR legend shared a key piece of advice.
Earnhardt Jr. addressed all the boyfriends and the husbands out there and urged them to start a note about things their wives like.
"The size of her shoes, the clothes that she wears, the color of her eyes, all of those things. Put her birthday in there. All the things that are very important to remember. Make a note. And that way, bam. You can even categorize it in specific moments like Mother's Day, birthday, and think about, okay, here's a list of things, here's her expectations," Dale Earnhardt Jr. described.

Amy agreed with her husband, deeming the idea of starting a note as 'a good' one. However, she took a subtle jibe at Junior, claiming that the note should be started before a couple's eight-year anniversary.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. played along as he said that the note should be started before the seventh year of marriage. But Amy clarified the former 2x Daytona 500 winner, reminding him that they've been married for not seven, but 'eight wonderful years.'
"We're coming up on our eighth. Man, it's hard to math. Don't take this the wrong way, but getting married on New Year's Eve comes with its own set of challenges," Junior reacted.
Having said that, Amy claimed that getting married on December 31 ruins one's ability 'really to math it' and define what year it is since it's more difficult to go backwards.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. admitted that they're not good at it. Amy added that it is New Year's Eve they got married on, not New Year's Day.

The NASCAR Hall of Famer added that at that point, his marriage had been wonderful and they were 'ever closer and in sync'. Junior mentioned that he hadn't had any disappointments or surprises with Amy in his marriage.
