When is the last time you had a date night with your husband? Our lives our busy. Our children and our home keep us busy. It takes work and effort to plan a date night. If you have a tight budget, it also takes creativity. If you can’t work out the budget for a babysitter and date night, you can plan a weekly at home date with your husband.
Put the children to bed early, or feed them early and set up an activity for them in another room. Cook a special meal for the two of you, or eat dinner with the kids and have coffee and dessert alone.
The main idea is for you and your husband to have some time to talk and enjoy yourselves. My husband and I did a couple’s Bible study in the evenings when the children were in bed.
Think about some of the things you did as a dating couple. You had to take and effort then. You had to make plans. After we get married and have children, we get a little slack in the area of dating our spouse.
One day the children will be grown and move out. Then, we will be alone with our spouse. Do you want to wake up and realize that you didn’t nurture your relationship with your spouse?
Email me and let me know how often you have date night, and if it has been a while, schedule one as soon as possible.
Have a great day!
