Couple Goal 1: Dedicated Time Together

1/23/2021

Comments

 
Making a commitment to spend time together is certainly an important goal. Couples that want to maintain a strong relationship, typically have activities that they make a commitment to do together.  Then they make a commitment to do those activities together.  I know it sounds very unromantic, but if necessary schedule the activity in your calendar.
Here are a few examples of activities to bring you together, strengthen and maintain your relationship:  
  • A meal together (preferably dinner).  This is a powerful one for your relationship, especially if you have the TV and phone off. 
  • Date night weekly (it might be going somewhere or it might be dedicated time together at home without any interruptions - no phones or work)
  • Church weekly
  • Walks together (twice a week or more)
  • Back or foot massage (weekly)
  • Dreaming together (planning future goals and dreams as a couple and family) monthly
Making a commitment to a great relationship requires more than feelings, it requires love, and love is verb.  So take the action!
