For anyone who knows me and my husband, Kevin, you have heard us talk and Tweet and Facebook and blog about Date Night.  It’s a long-standing ritual in our family.  As soon as we moved our family to Colorado to start the church and found some trustworthy teenage babysitters, we started weekly date nights.  It’s a sacrifice financially.  I won’t lie.  But I have no doubt this is the number one reason our marriage has been able to withstand the craziness of planting a church and doing life together.  And I had all of these things that I was planning to say. . .but wouldn’t you know it, Michelle Obama said it pretty well herself - so check this out. . .

Making Date Night a priority was the absolute #1 best advice I was ever given as we moved to start a church.  And it’s not only for the sake of the kids, though that is HUGE, but it’s for the whole family.  It’s when we as a couple, apart from being church planters, slow down and reconnect.  It’s the best 2 hours of the week!  Nope, it’s not always happy and lovey and mushy. . .but it’s SO worth it - It’s how we have stayed healthy.

Do you have a regular date night with your spouse?
