TRANSFORMING A HOUSE INTO A HOME

CHAPTER 13

Making Time for Quality Connection and Fun

Making time for quality connection and fun at home strengthens your marriage by fostering joy, intimacy, and shared faith. Prioritize intentional moments amid daily routines to recharge your relationship. These activities build lasting bonds without needing to leave home.

Spiritual Bonding
Pray together daily, perhaps over coffee, sharing gratitude and needs to invite God's presence into your routine. Read Scripture or a couples' devotional aloud, discussing insights to deepen understanding and unity.

Playful Games
Host game nights with board games, card challenges, or trivia infused with Christian themes for laughter and friendly competition. Try double solitaire or create custom Bible quizzes to keep it light and engaging.

Creative Pursuits
Cook a new recipe side-by-side, turning meal prep into a date with worship music playing. Craft together, like painting or making ornaments, while reflecting on God's creativity in your lives. Relaxed Conversations
Curl up for a 'spiritual check-in,' sipping tea and sharing what God taught you that week, followed by affirming each other's strengths. End with holding hands in quiet worship or planning fun family traditions.
