One Thing to Grow Your Marriage Each DaySample

When you can’t find the time to date

Devotional Content: 

We all agree that spending time on a date with our spouse is a good thing. Dates are fun, and they bring us closer together. The problem for many of us comes when we don’t intentionally find the time to plan that date. Before we know it, another week has passed and still no date. I have an idea for you: Try impromptu dates. These dates are not intended to take the place of great planned dates, but they give you some other options that you may not have considered. Here is an example: Going to the grocery store is something most of us have to do at least once a week. Why not make shopping a date rather than just a necessary chore? Go together; talk on the way and while you fill your cart; enjoy coffee or ice cream together. The idea is to look for opportunities to turn a checklist item on your to-do list into a meaningful date. It could be anything from running errands together instead of separately to meeting at the gym and exercising together. This type of “dating” really just involves a mindset shift. Impromptu dating opportunities are all around you. Don’t miss them!
