Proven Date Nights Every Couple Needs

24 minutes

Ever notice how the person you fell in love with starts feeling more like a roommate or business partner? Between work deadlines, kid schedules, and just keeping up with life, the spark that once came so easily can quietly fade into the background. What used to build intimacy and connection gets buried under busyness, tiredness, and the endless logistics of just making it through the week.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we explore why date nights aren't just a nice idea—they're essential to keeping your marriage vibrant and alive. We'll talk about escaping the trap of problem-solving mode, the power of modeling a thriving marriage for your kids, and practical ways to make date nights something you both need and look forward to.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

How consistent date nights keep your marriage from drifting into roommate mode

How to make date nights meaningful without spending a fortune

The gospel picture your marriage paints when you prioritize time together

What to avoid and what to pursue to keep dates connecting, not coordinating

From this episode:
