The Importance of Dating

Family Home Evenings should be fun, even if it's just the two of you. We have been encouraged to have a lesson of some sort that will help us remember or better understand the gospel.

Things You'll Need: A copy of "Dating at Home", by Geok Lee Thong to read together. A grocery sack for each of you.

Lesson: Read "Dating at Home" and discuss how you will continue to nurture your relationship now. If you decide to set a weekly date night, make plans as to who will plan it and ways to keep it going. If schedules don't allow for a weekly date then set a date for your next outing and make plans to keep it.

Activity: Each of you take a grocery sack. You have five minutes to find 3 things that you kept from your dating years, pre-marriage. Change the time limit or number of items to fit you. Reminisce about the things you did while you were dating.

Treat: If the two of you had a special treat you often had together while you were dating, eat that. My husband and I have a thing for Sonic Cranberry Juice Slushes. If you didn't have a special treat, choose something to be your special treat and share that... now and for years to come.
