Has anyone here actually tried to deal with date your spouse? I’ve been looking into it but feeling unsure about where to start. There’s a lot of info online, but most of it sounds too generic. Would love to hear from people who’ve gone through this personally.
Absolutely, dating your spouse is a magnificent and effective way to deepen your bond and keep the spark alive. It can feel daunting to begin with, but bear in mind that it doesn’t have to be extravagant or complicated. Start small, with things you both enjoy. Like watching a movie together every Friday night or taking a walk in the park. The main intent is to dedicate quality time to each other.
If you feel online information is too generic, try reading books on relationship strengthening. They provide in-depth insights and practical advice. “The 5 Love Languages” by Gary Chapman and “Eight Dates” by John Gottman are excellent to start. Lastly, remember that every relationship is unique, so what works for one might not work for another. The key is to find activities that both of you love and make the effort to invest time in each other.
