Top Ten Ways To Spend More Time Building Your Marriage - Part 2

 

By Joseph and Linda Dillow & Peter and Lorraine Pintus

 

6. Hire a babysitter.

 

Don't waste your babysitting dollars on going to see a movie. Instead, hire a sitter to take your kids to the park on Saturday morning for two hours while you spend that time at home - in bed.

 

7. Arrange for a kid swap.

 

Find a couple you trust who is willing to swap kids with you one evening a month. You take their kids from 5:00pm to 8:00pm the first month, and next month they watch yours. Three hours focused on loving each other can revitalize a marriage.

 

8. Schedule a motel date.

 

When curious teenagers fill the house and won't go to bed before midnight, it can short-circuit your love life. Leave your teens with a pizza and a good movie; pack a picnic basket filled with fun food, a CD player, candles, and scented lotion; and go to a motel from 5:00pm to 11:00pm. You'll be amazed at how much loving and talking you can do with no ringing phones! It's cheaper than dinner out and a movie - and more fun!

 

9. Enjoy a daily devotional.

 

Intimacy is about sex, but it's also about being emotionally and spiritually one with your mate. One of the ways to accomplish this is by praying together and reading a daily devotional together. We recommend the devotional: Marriage Minutes

 

10. Enjoy the Sabbath rest.

 

God asks us to take a Sabbath rest. Our bodies were made for a day of rest once a week. Set aside the whole day to worship God, take naps, rest, and play together. This is part of intimacy- finding rest in one another, lying in each other's arms, and enjoying the closeness without the stress of life.
