Have Some Fun!
Having a satisfying and thriving marriage requires that a couple intentionally look for time and ways to build and deepen their friendship.
- Commit with your spouse to take advantage of your free time (you may have to be creative) by planning activities you can do together. Sit down with your calendars and agree on a few fun things to do. Be Intentional!
- Fun activities don't have to be expensive or time consuming. Mix it up and have some quick, free/inexpensive activities as well as plan ahead for some "getaway" time that may require more time and resources.
Below are some ideas for you to consider. This is a growing list, so if you have discovered something fun as a couple that you think might be a good addition to this list, email marriage@rpcstaff.org and share it!
