Go on a date (DW#557)
As your marriage ages it is very easy to let go of the rituals of early romantic love. The masters of relationships, however, know that the intentionality of continuing to date your partner is a wise investment for the long term health of your marriage.
So what makes a date a date?
1) It is "we" time when you focus on connecting with your partner and catch up with what has been on their mind and occupying their attention.
2) It is NOT a time to problem solve or talk about issues in your relationship (that is a very different ritual)
3) Try to stay away from the business of running a house and a family. Your children are very important and if you focus on connecting as friends you will be better parents to your children
4) It is time to focus on your friendship as a couple apart from the issues that may be plaguing your relationship at the time. Intentional love means that you don’t have to solve all problems before you can connect as friends. It does mean that you nurture your friendship despite any issues you many be facing.
