Don't Wait To Date: How To Keep Dating After Marriage
Raising kids is one of the greatest gifts God gives us but it also stretches marriages in ways no one fully prepares for. Whether you’re in the newborn trenches, shuttling teenagers to practices, or navigating an empty nest, dating your spouse can easily slip down the priority list.
In this episode, we talk about the challenges of staying connected while raising kids. From interrupted car conversations, to evening chaos, to seasons where life feels like pure survival. We share the mistakes we made early in marriage, the intentional habits we’re learning now, and practical ways any couple can make dating a consistent rhythm again.
You’ll hear:
• Why dating after the kids leave the house is often too late
• How kids can actually strengthen your marriage when approached with intentionality
• Simple, low-cost ways to date your spouse in busy seasons
• How to protect your marriage from becoming child-centered
• Real stories, real struggles, and lots of encouragement
Whether you’re parenting littles, teens, or rediscovering life together in the empty-nest season, this conversation will help you prioritize your spouse, fight for connection, and build a marriage that grows deeper year after year.
