Rekindle the Romance: Date Your SpouseՕրինակ

Benefits to Dating Your Spouse

All couples, no matter how long you have been married, should continue to date. Dating adds tremendous benefits to your marriage. 

Tremendous benefit number one: Dating improves your communication. Men and women communicate very differently and often what is said is not what is heard. Dating gives couples a focused time to clearly talk through issues they may be facing. We call it “getting in the car.” When we are in the car we are focused on the same thing: getting to where we are going! 

Tremendous benefit number two: Dating improves your sex life. Gentleman, please understand that tremendous benefit number one can often lead to tremendous benefit number two! When your wife feels like she is truly being listened to, it releases the hormone Oxytocin, also known as the “bonding hormone”—wink wink, nudge nudge.

Tremendous benefit number three: Dating improves your family. Making your spouse a priority above your children gives your children exactly what they need! They need to know Mom and Dad are on the same page. They need to know Mom and Dad are good. They need to know Mom and Dad love each other.
