Couples! How to Make Date Night Happen
Some of you know we use “Prepare-Enrich” as our go-to curriculum for pre-marriage and couples classes. In the article below, find 5 tips to help make “date night” a thing for you and your partner/spouse. In addition Fr. James offers this bit of practical advice:
“Annaka and I found date *night* not to be an easy thing for us to accomplish. We had children to get a sitter for, the expense of a night out, and we were usually looking at Friday night after a full work week. We were exhausted by then, tired, a little negative, and falling asleep on our dates. What proved a radical change was a small shift in thinking: we’re better in the mornings – more awake, energetic, and upbeat. And the kids are at school. And we both had Friday off! And going out to breakfast is something we love AND less expensive than dinner. Thus the Date *Morning* was born! We now give each other the time when we are at our best – the morning – and it starts off our weekend really well.”
Mornings may not be your thing. Nights may not be your thing. The point is to find a time together that is dependably your thing together. It’s worth the effort. Read on to find out more.
