As summer unfolds with its warmth and vibrant energy, it's the perfect time to focus on romancing your future together and building a Christ-centered marriage that thrives.

For couples, especially those in their 40s and 50s, it's easy to fall into routines and let the spark dim. This summer, reignite that spark and invest in a deeper, more meaningful connection with your spouse.

You can transform your marriage into a source of joy and strength with intentional effort and a Christ-centered approach.

"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." – Romans 12:10 (NIV)

3 Ways to Embrace New Adventures Together

  1. Explore New Hobbies:  Trying out new hobbies together can be a fun and exciting way to bond. Whether taking a cooking class, learning a new sport, or starting a garden, finding a shared interest can create new memories and strengthen your connection. Embracing a new activity allows you to learn and grow together, fostering a sense of teamwork and mutual support.
  2.  Travel to New Places:  Whether near or far, traveling can provide a fresh perspective and a break from routine. Exploring new destinations together, experiencing different cultures, and creating shared memories can invigorate your relationship. Even a weekend getaway can bring a sense of adventure and excitement.
  3. Set Shared Goals: Working towards common goals can be an adventure. This could be anything from fitness challenges to home renovation projects or even volunteering for a cause you both care about. Setting and achieving goals together strengthens your partnership and gives you a sense of accomplishment.

3 Priorities For Spiritual Growth as a Couple

  1. Daily Devotions: Set aside time each day for devotions as a couple. This could be reading a chapter from the Bible, sharing a devotional book, or praying together. Start or end your day by focusing on God's word and seeking His guidance for your marriage.
  2. Attend Church and Join a Small Group: Regularly attend church services. Join a couples' small group or Bible study to connect with other like-minded couples. Sharing your faith journey with others can provide support and encouragement.
  3. Serve Together: Find ways to serve in your community or church. Whether volunteering at a local shelter, helping with church events, or participating in mission work, serving can bring a sense of purpose and unity to your relationship.

3 Benefits of Romancing Your Future Together

  1. Renewed Passion and Intimacy: By embarking on new adventures and prioritizing spiritual growth, you'll find renewed passion and intimacy in your marriage. These shared experiences can reignite the love and excitement that first brought you together.
  2. Stronger Emotional Connection: Growing spiritually as a couple helps build a stronger emotional connection. When you pray together and support each other's faith journey, you create a deeper understanding and appreciation for one another.
  3. Greater Resilience: A Christ-centered marriage provides a solid foundation for weathering life's challenges. Investing in your relationship and focusing on spiritual growth, you'll develop greater resilience and a shared sense of purpose.

This summer is your opportunity to romance your future together and build a marriage that reflects Christ's love. Embrace new adventures, prioritize spiritual growth, and watch your relationship flourish. Remember, the key to a thriving marriage is ongoing effort, love, and a strong foundation in faith.
