Hello friends and readers! I hope this finds you well. For the married friends out there.... So I can't speak for y'all but for us and probably the vast majority of you life is a blur of busy. Shabbat is our weekly blessing of rest... But, we do need dedicated time together. My husband and I try to set aside a few hours every Sunday evening to unwind together after the kids are in bed and watch a sermon, talk, and hang out. But we also aim to schedule "regular dates" I put that in quotes because we don't have any set schedule like, once a month, or anything but we are mindful of having dates together. Now prior to the lockdowns and such we would do the typical dinner and a movie (if we could find a movie that was remotely acceptable) or bowling....weather permitting dinner and a walk downtown on the canal etc. We are rather simple people and the simple thing keep us relatively happy. For us it is not so much the activity as the opportunity to spend time together and talk. When everything got locked down and for various reasons stress increased. These "date nights" became more important, except there was nowhere to go.... so my husband one evening ordered Outback food for dinner car side pick- up, brought it home, and we had a "date" in the living room after the kids were in bed. We really had a lot of fun and enjoyed ourselves. Ever since then "date nights @ home" has been in regular rotation for us. Picking up dinner, maybe dessert too, hanging out, playing a game, watching a movie or several episodes of something (appropriate) and just enjoying each other's company. These things don't require a lot of money. As you can see, you don't even have to leave your house. But make sure that you and your spouse do have some 1x1 time, just the two of you. However you do it for you. Just be intentional; stay connected, have fun, make memories, cuddle, laugh, talk, vent..... and just be. Slow down and just be together. Until next time: May Adonai bless and keep you as you: press on pursuing the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua. Phil 4:13
