I don't know exactly what sort of recurring dates you are planning, but you will find that using the dateItems format works really well for date calculations:
Try something like this: put the seconds into theDate convert theDate to dateItems -- 2004,1,12,8,16,46,2 -- see the docs for dateItems to check what each item is.
Now you can edit any of these items WITHOUT having to worry about whether it results in a correct date. When you convert it back, the engine will make it into a real date.
add 18 to item 2 of theDate -- item 2 = month, so move 18 months forward
-- 2004,19,12,8,18,26,2
convert theDate to long date
-- Tuesday, July 12, 2005
Hope this helps, Sarah
