3. Go to Bed
The time you spend in bed with your spouse matters. It’s not taboo or something to hide. It doesn’t even have to be about sex.
The simple act of going to bed together, at the same time, makes a huge difference in how we end our day.
And since we all know sex is part of a marriage, let’s just be real. When we stay up late, even if it’s doing something good like watching a movie together, we go to bed and crash. There isn’t time for any connection because we’re so exhausted.
Making intentional choices about going to bed is one of the best ways I stay connected to my husband. It may not seem like a date, but time we set apart to be together is a date in my book! Now, if I could just get these teenagers to go to bed it would be a lot easier!
It doesn’t matter whether we’re at home watching a show or go out to a restaurant to eat outside, being intentional about time together helps us feel closer and more connected to our spouse. And that is something that God loves.
