Who knew date nights could include coffee and reading the Bible? This couple turns date nights into moments of spiritual growth. We’ve heard it repeatedly—“Don’t stop dating your spouse.” That phrase gets tossed around like wedding confetti—meant to stick, meant to shine, but often forgotten once real life hits. The laundry piles up. The kids fight over cereal. The dishes become mountains, and your conversations become more about schedules and bills than dreams and devotions.
But what if dating your spouse didn’t have to be so glittery? What if the secret to joy in your marriage wasn’t always about candlelit restaurants or shaved legs, but something deeper and more sacred?
That’s exactly what Faith and her husband are discovering. And it might just be the sweetest thing you’ll see all day. Faith is a Christian mom, a seminary student, a pastor’s wife, and a woman who isn’t afraid to go deep. She’s not in it for surface-level living or shallow faith. Her heart beats for the richness of Scripture and the closeness of Christ.
In her world, date night looks a little different. It starts with gathering their supplies—journals, Bibles, highlighters—because when the Word of God is involved, even date night becomes holy. Then they head to grab coffee, not to check off a box or make an Instagram-worthy moment, but to sit side by side, Bibles open, hearts open, listening.
Together, they nerd out over theology, underline verses, pause to share what they’re learning, and take notes on what God is whispering to their hearts. There's laughter, tears, and a deep connection that comes from pursuing the Lord together. They’re not just dating—they’re growing. They’re building a marriage that doesn’t rely on fancy dinners but on the rock-solid foundation of Scripture. That kind of dating is more romantic than roses and more intimate than candles. It’s two souls leaning in toward God and each other.
There’s something so beautiful, so sacred, about flipping through pages of truth while sipping coffee and holding the hand of the one who promised to walk life beside you. This kind of intentionality doesn’t just make for sweet afternoons—it builds the kind of marriage that weathers storms and shines light into dark places.
Maybe you’re craving that kind of connection, too. Maybe your soul is longing not just for a break from the kids or a fun night out, but for something deeper, and something holy. Maybe what your marriage needs most isn’t another dinner out, but an invitation back to God’s Word, together.
When you sit down with your spouse and open the Bible, you’re not just spending time, and you’re sowing seeds. As you read and reflect and pray and laugh over the notes scribbled in the margins, you’ll find that the bond between you deepens in ways that last longer than dessert or movie tickets.
As Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” That third strand? It’s Jesus. And when He’s wrapped right in the middle of your love story, your marriage becomes something rare, beautiful, and unbreakable. So grab the coffee, open the Word, and make a date—not just with each other, but with the One who makes your love story sacred.
