Thanks for all of your posts and comments! The idea is to make sure you are setting time whether it be a date night or date lunch etc. for your spouse. Make Him or Her the Priority of your time- it's says everything!
-In my recent time with the Lord I was studying Psalm 46:10 " Be still and know that I am God;" It occurred to me that I must be still in order to REALLY know God. A quick quiet time here and a quick bible reading there is great don't get me wrong; but it's when I am still and in the presence of the Lord that I feel and create the most intimacy with Him. When I am still and Intimate with the Lord, I am reminded of the real Priorities in my life. I have to learn to say "No" to the "Busies" because my spouse means more. I have to Be Still and by knowing who God is I know what his desire is for me as a wife and that is to choose my husband first- to love him as Christ loves him. Can you commit a time once a week to Be Still with your spouse....?

Sara, so glad you are doing this! I know I need these reminders often!
Well, I just feel so passionate about this because Marriages just aren't what they should be. we should all be encouraging eachother. Thanks- Rachel!
Date Night use to seem like a "luxury". Now I see it as a necessity! We are learning to sacrifice where we need to in order to take time to enjoy one another. Del and I have started working out together more often (sometimes rather than going out to dinner). It's good to be reminded that a date doesn't have to be a meal and it can be something fun you enjoy doing together. . .or, something you would otherwise be doing by yourself.
Tomorrow night's date night! Woo hoo!
