Day 18! It is often said that when it comes to parenting, “more is caught than taught.” This applies to our kids watching us as a married couple as well. We want to do our best to show them how to have a healthy marriage, how to love a spouse, and how to resolve conflicts in a healthy way. This doesn’t mean we need to feel like we’ve blown it already because we are not perfect! We just need to keep fighting for our marriage and be willing to get help when we need it.

Had a spontaneous (make-shift) candle light🕯️dinner 🍽️ about a week ago. We ran outta time⌛️, though, but will plan a little better next time (when we have no kid-taxi obligations). 😬

Don’t forget to post one of your Date Night Challenges.♥️

Date Night Challenge option 3:
Skyscraper Date:

Set the Scene
❤️ The KEY to a successful skyscraper date isn’t how high you get; it’s how willing you are to change your perspective when you get there!

Make it Happen
❤️ Write a a list of problems, crises, issues, deadlines, and pressures you’re facing right now. Then talk about how your attitude might change if you looked at those things from a different perspective.

Finish Strong
❤️ how can we encourage each other to look at things from God’s perspective?

Mind Your Language
❤️ look at each other from a new perspective - one that notices the other person’s good qualities, praise-worthy attributes it God -given gifts

Take it to God
❤️ ask God to help you see things from His perspective- to recognize His ability to bring good things from bad situations

❤️ Please Post pics if you choose this date

During Sunday Funday you received a “Date Night Challenge“ to go on an intentional date with your spouse and post a pic or two on this fb page ❤️
However, the photocopies may have been a little overwhelming and not super enticing 😂 so here’s an inspiring pic and a summary of one, The Candlelight Date ❤️

❤️ because it is God’s best for you, the journey toward intimacy is well worth the commitment
❤️ Set the Scene: candlelight physically and symbolically illuminates only the two of you!
❤️ Make it Happen: talk to each other about the first time you realized your spouse was “the one”
❤️ Finish Strong: talk about specific things you can do to keep romance alive in your marriage
❤️ Mind Your Language: tell your spouse what you love about them and how they make you feel good
❤️Take it to God: thank God for how He has allowed your relationship to deepen over time
