7 Reasons to date your spouse during marriage

There are several reasons why you should date your spouse, but here are seven (7) to consider:

It keeps the romance alive

Let’s be honest, it was the romance that first brought you two together, right? You both need it and in the event that you’ve lost it, then you both miss it. Dating will revive that start and help you remember why you fell for each other in the first place.

Dating your spouse let them know they are a priority to you

Just planning a date tells your spouse they are still special. Take time to plan a night out or even a night in and provide a sense of appreciation and desire for one another. A Date night is a way of saying to your spouse “you mean more to me and you are worth my time and effort.”

It’s fun

Let’s be honest, dating is fun. Dressing up for a night out or in with your spouse is a lot of fun! Going out and doing something completely different from your daily routines keeps the heart healthy.

Make your marriage a good model for your Children

Your Children are watching. Women, do you want to show your son what he should expect from his future wife? Date your husband. Likewise, men, show your daughter what a real man looks like by dating your wife.

It’s cheaper than counseling and/or divorce

Dating is obviously not a cure-all for every marriage problem. However, it is a powerful way of attending to the health of your relationship. It has been proven that not dating and not being intentional is likely what will make you want to divorce. Since dating is what lead you to marriage in the first place, it should be a regular part of your marriage.

Dating your spouse creates intimacy (in-to-me-see)

Dating your spouse will create intimacy. It will connect or reconnect you and your spouse. Intimacy isn’t just sex. Ideally, sex in a loving relationship should be the physical embodiment of intimacy. Intimacy is much more than just sex. It is about being able to be completely free with your spouse. Intimacy is an emotional state that is often reserved for just one person, your spouse.

Add a sense of freshness and adventure in your marriage

Dating helps to break the routine that all married couples fall into. It will keep you both engaged and provide something to look forward to. A good and regular date night will breathe new life into your marriage.
