Date Your Spouse!

I have been very, very happily married for almost 55 years. One reason is that we had several classes on marriage before we got married and were told that we should get away, just the two of us for “Date Night” once a week.

This idea really resonated with me because I’ve always thought of marriage as a continuing courtship! Being in love is a spectacular, all consuming event that should not terminate at the altar. No, like every thing important to you, keeping your love alive requires effort and your personal attention.

“Date Night” doesn’t have to be expensive. It can be anything you decide to do that gets you out of the house together.

A decision to marry is the biggest decision of our lives with the biggest consequences. If it’s that important, it deserves your constant attention!

If not today, when?
