5 ways to Date Your Spouse

LATEST, Life of Rubi Z

11/15/19

This is us. We were about to go out with friends and I grabbed my phone, set it up on some post that was by this field by my house and I asked Jimmy to take a picture with me since it’d been a while since we’ve taken a good pic together. I literally only have like 1 minute flat to get something with this guy. He has no patience for photos. So this is what we got. Lol.

This is my husband and I. We’ve been married for 14 years and in those 14 years we’ve always dated each other. We date in several ways. You have to understand your spouse enough to know what “dating” actually looks like for them.

To me…dating means we carve out time to make each other a priority!

Making each other a priority means that we remove the distractions…such as our beautiful [but life sucking] kids lol. And work!

It doesn’t matter what we do or where we go so long as we are together and focused on each other. We live in a small town and things can get boring. It’s tough to think of a date outside of movie night and dinner but we try to mix it up based on what we are both needing at the moment.

Examples:

STAYCATION: Sometimes we’re tired and we need rest. We just want to lay on the couch together and watch a movie without distractions. This will usually include a yummy meal and some kind of desert since Jimmy believes date nights always include some kind of sweet.
CATCH UP COFFEE DATE: Sometimes it’s been a while since we’ve heard each others’ hearts. Heard each others’ dreams. Life is constantly moving and changing and we always want to show each other that we’re our biggest fans to one another.
SHOPPING: Yes, sometimes we don’t have a lot of time and even shopping alone is great. Going out together. Looking at things and picking out clothes for our kids or items for the house, just an opportunity to walk around holding hands at the stores.
NICE DINNER and an ACTIVITY with Friends: It is really healthy to find other couples for us to hang out with. We have a group of friends who we have a lot of fun with and we love going out to dates with them. Surrounding yourself with other couples is always refreshing because you are influenced by the connections of other couples and it keeps you striving to keep your marriage alive as well.
A LITTLE GETAWAY: We have three kids and getting away for a vacation is not really practical right now, but it doesn’t impede us from taking a little getaway. Our getaways usually consist of one full day. That’s usually enough to fill our tank for a few more weeks or even a few months. I’m a big believer in this one because if you remove the joy and the adventure from your marriage, you leave room for the enemy to make someone else come into your life and show you joy and adventure. We need to close that door to temptation by making marriage FUN…not just work!
