As a Christian couple, you want your relationship to be pleasing to God; it’s understandable. Our spiritual journey is the essence of our being, and every other blessing is God’s helping hand to smoothen our sail. So, we must do it God’s way.
But godly dates don’t have to be boring. Going out on a date as a Christian couple can be more than just grabbing a meal or catching a movie. There are countless fun activities to keep the spark alive, deepen your bond and grow in faith together.
Going out on date nights is one way to strengthen your pillars, improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rekindle romance.
Here are ten simple date night ideas to make your time together wholesome yet impactful.
1. Join in Worship Together
Imagine both of you in a room full of worship, meditating on the lyrics of powerful spiritual songs that affirms God’s faithfulness through it all. This shared experience can bring you closer to each other and God.
Worship is a way to express your inner thoughts. Allow that song that has been ringing in your heart lately to find full expression.
2. Study The Bible Together
I usually say God’s Word is God’s world; it vividly portrays His ideal plans for us. Reading God’s Word together is a way of discovering how you are to love one another and if you are missing or doing it well already. The discussions and lessons will help you understand each other’s perspectives on life values and deeply enrich your relationship.
3. Enjoy a Christian Movie Night
So many anointed dramatists of God have cast realistic faith-based movies that spotlight different conflicts in relationships and how God wants those issues to be resolved. Watching an inspiring Christian movie on a relaxed evening won’t just be entertaining but equip you for the real world. You could even find answers to present differences.
4. Attend a Christian Concert
Experiencing the excitement and spiritual upliftment of a Christian concert together can be a beautiful way to celebrate your shared faith. Consider signing up for the next live performance in your vicinity.
5. Serve Your Community
Your relationship goals should include giving back to society. And one way to do this is to volunteer to make a difference in your local communities. Choose a cause you both care about and spend time making a difference.Â
This will give you the satisfaction of creating beautiful memories and causing a positive change. The joy in giving is worth it.
6. Take a Prayer Walk
Walking hand in hand draws you closer, but a prayer walk strengthens your spiritual bond.
Take a calm, peaceful walk where you share your desires and thoughts in prayers to God. As you walk, silently pray for guidance, blessings, and strength in your relationship.
7. Visit Religious Landmarks
Have you heard of any famous or unpopular but sacred spiritual sites? You might have even visited these places before; consider revisiting with your loved one.
Prayer mountains, prayer resorts, Christian museums, Christian galleries, homes and resting places of the faith defenders, and other religious landmarks will enrich your appreciation and dedication to your God.Â
Each location offers a unique perspective and can spark dialogues about the history, architecture, and shared beliefs that bond you as a couple.
8. Visit a Christian Bookstore
Picking books for each other can help you discover more about your partner’s spiritual interests.
Treat your date as a mini adventure in a Christian bookstore. Find books that interest you both and share your thoughts. This can become an intellectual date that will stimulate your mind.
9. Attend a Marriage Retreat
Participating in a Christian marriage retreat offers an opportunity to invest in your relationship under the guidance of faith-based principles.
Engage with other couples, attend workshops, and dedicate time to nurture the spiritual foundation of your partnership. You might also be able to clear all doubts by asking questions in these sessions.
10. Read Christian Marriage Books Together
Reading faith-based books on relationships is a journey into godly insights and wisdom. Mostly you will learn principles that will build your home and keep it from the destructive hands of the enemy. Draw from the wisdom tank of older Christians in marriage.
We all have unique differences. Feel free to adjust these ideas to suit your relationship and faith journey. In all, be present, attentive, and loving while keeping Jesus at the center.
