Summary

Regular date nights are a joy. We love getting out of the house and away from the kids! But does a flourishing God-honoring marriage require this regular habit? If you and your husband are in an overwhelming season and you're not "succeeding" at date night, this one's for you. In this episode, Emily and Laura dig into a different perspective on the "modern date night." Instead of putting our hope in a single night out with our husbands, God teaches us to cherish and serve one another daily. Date nights aren't a guarantee, but God's covenant-keeping grace is, and he can sustain our marriage, even when we don't get a date night.
