Day 10
Read & Reflect
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
How does this scripture apply to your marriage? Reflect on this when you and your spouse come together for prayer.
Pray Together
Lord, when You said this to Your disciples, You had just washed their feet. You showed Your love by serving, even when they should have served You. Then, only hours later, You gave Your life for them. The 'one another' of this new commandment includes each other, and we're to love them the way You love us. Love through us, Lord. We can’t do this on our own, but with You, all things are possible. Amen.
How Are Your Date Nights Going?
From Top 20 Stay-At-Home Date Night Ideas, by Dawn Weaver of Happy Wives Club
Here are three ideas for stay-at-home dates:
- Iron Chef Chocolate
Make a meal with chocolate featured in every course. Who says chocolate can’t be served as a main course? You
can either make a meal together or divide up the courses between each of you. Surprise the other with your sweet
& savory creations.
2. Make It a Theme Night!
Choose a theme and center everything you do around it. For example, if you choose an Italian theme, you could eat
spaghetti and gelato, then watch a movie like The Italian Job or Life is Beautiful. Some other fun theme ideas:
Mexican, Asian, Christmas, Kid’s theme, 1950′s (or any decade), etc.
3. Living Room Camp-Out
Get anything you have that makes you feel like you’re camping out and set it up in your living room (i.e. camping
chairs, turn off the lights and use flashlights, blanket...). Make tin foil dinners in your oven for the dinner.
