Summary

Married couples need a weekly date night out…you’ve heard that advice before, but is it good advice? The answer might surprise you!! We’re starting the bad relationship advice series here at TrueLoveDates.com!!! In this series, I’m bringing you all the BAD relationship advice that you’ve heard over the years, and maybe you even thought it was GOOD advice, but it’s advice that’s actually harmful and even ruining relationships. The first bad relationship advice we’re starting with is so APPLICABLE for today!! I recorded this episode LONG before Corona Quarantine, and here we are, stuck at home, unable to go anywhere even if we WANT TO. Date night out is impossible!! So what do we do? DATE NIGHT IN NOT DATE NIGHT OUT The relationship advice that “couples need a weekly date night out” isn’t just unlikely right now, it’s impossible. If the health of our marriage hinged on our weekly date nights out, we’d be done for right now….and so would marriages across the country. We can’t actually go on a date night out right now anyway, but we can do something even better for our marriage — we can go IN. Healthy marriages don’t hinge on going out, but on going IN. Connecting with one another on a deep and meaningful way. In today’s episode I’m going to tell you what it means to “go in” in your relationship. Also, after you listen to this episode, make sure to tune in to 10 Date Night In Ideas….hopefully they inspire you to take the time to go in with your relationship!
