Summary

How can you implement quality time with your spouse during a busy week? What if you don't have time for date night? In this episode, Josh and Christi challenge you to initiate a 10-minute date with your significant other.

Here are some highlights:

• Give your spouse a heads up about the 10-minute date, rather than putting them on the spot.

• Do not expect your spouse to be free and be patient with them.

• Ask your spouse to go on a quick walk with you outside or sit down and drink a cup of coffee with you.

0:56.6	these chairs next to the fire together and we just talk or just sit there. I don't even need
