What are you doing for your marriage? Dates are an easy answer, even though very few couples prioritize them! Dates with your spouse don’t always have to be elaborate and expensive. Some of our favorite dates are actually FREE!

Date ideas for your marriage

We will grab our baseball gloves, find a nearby field, and play catch. We get to enjoy fresh air, get in some light exercise, and just talk and catch up with each other. Going on a walk in a new neighborhood or part of the city is also fun and free!

Another favorite date is just grabbing coffee or some yummy food and picking one or two of these questions. It’s easy to have the ‘same conversations’ over and over, especially if you are parents, and even more so if you work together. But it’s so important that your relationship not be centered on your kids, or your business. Because one day your kids will leave the nest, and you may choose to retire from this business venture one day. What will you be left with? Hopefully a marriage that is based on love and friendship!

So take these questions along with you on your next date, and see what kind of conversations arise from intentionally asking each other these questions.

Questions for Your Marriage

The Bad

• What is ONE area in your life that you want to improve. And how can your spouse support you in that?

• Is there a burden that you have been shouldering alone? Share it so I can carry it with you!

The Ugly

The Good

• What is ONE thing you can do to show DELIGHT in your marriage?
