Why You Should Date Your Spouse?

I have a date.

I have a coffee date with my husband this coming Sunday. As a wife, I love going on dates because I know the courtship has not stopped with marriage. As a counselor, I appreciate my husband's effort for planning dates because I know dating is one of the key that keep our relationship strong.

Why do you think so many couples stop dating each other?

I can only think of one answer; lack of appreciation for each other. Before marriage, you invest in the relationship, and when your partner says I do, you stop.

Without dates, you are guaranteed to have a bad relationship. I know you can make excuses; the kids, money and time. Who have time these days?

Well if you don’t make the time you will not reap the benefit listed below. By the way, this is a short list.

Dating has helped me to rekindle the romance – After being together for 12 years; romance can take a back seat. The dates are one of the reasons our romance is going strong.

Dating has helped me to relive stress – Having fun on dates really takes my mind of stress. A picnic at the local park can do wonders.

Dating has helped me to nurture my relationship – This is one of the time I can focus on encouraging my husband and get one to one time without our son.

If you have not set a date with your partner, don’t read this blog post and get discourage. It does not have to be expensive. I have been on dates at five star restaurant, and I have been on coffee dates. If you are encouraging your spouse on the date, you will reap the benefits. Be intentional. Set a date and make it happen
