A couple of weekends go we were hanging out with a family. They just had a new baby.

We were doing dinner hanging out. Kids were playing and whatnot and her and I were talking and we kept talking about

how marriage in different seasons can really just feel like your roommates, right?

Your ship's passing in the night, I mean you don't have to have a newborn to feel like that.

I think there's just seasons of our lives where we can, and if we don't tend to our marriage we can just feel like ships

passing in the night and so I kept trying to convince her hey let us watch your

kids you guys can go on a date she's like I can't remember the last time we went on a

date and she and and that was notably the thing that reminds us that we're

married I think it not only that thing but you know we want to serve one another

right like yeah we want to take care of each other in those seasons but it can so easily get into survival mode and I think that's our default wouldn't you if we're not

pursuing one another? Yeah, the default is drift.

Right.

And not that we're gonna drift closer together.

We're always gonna drifting further away.

Right.

I think in our flesh, I think that's the case.

So we don't have to live by our flesh. Like that's the whole point of the Christian life is that we are walking in step with the spirit. What might that have to do with your marriage? What might that have to do with how you maybe draw near to one another?

So today we're going to have a really fun episode.

We're just going to talk through some ideas for how to do that, namely through creative dating.

So we'll see you on the other side.
