Ron: Dating is how you first fell in love and it’s one way to stay in love.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Dating is an investment of time, energy, and a little money. But mostly it’s an investment in your “usness.” A chance to breathe. Learn about each other. And connect. It's a good idea to leave the kids with someone else and leave problem discussion on the table at home.
There are free dates (like a walk in the park), relatively inexpensive dates (like dinner and a movie), and expensive getaway dates (like a marriage cruise). There are even books that provide do-it-yourself marriage enrichment discussion ideas for your date. (That’ll put me out of business.) Invest in your usness. Go on a date! For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
