Having a real Date Night, it’s really important
Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor among all.
Ecclesiastes 9:9 Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil. She is the reward!!!
Date Night Builds Intimacy Intimate conversation - we did this before we married.
Catching up - life moves fast we need time to reconnect.
Dreaming together - this podcast is the fruit of years of sharing our dreams to serve married folk.
Sex - Good Date nights usually end in sex (married folk only).
Oneness - The net result when a couple commits to Date Night. Definition of oneness: the fact or state of being unified or whole,though comprised of two parts.
Mark 10:7-8 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife 8 and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
