Dating Through the Years

How to keep dating your spouse even when you have been married for 10, 20, 30, or 40 years!
Written by Aaron & April Jacob
Life happens.

Marriage, like life, goes through seasons and stages.

Kids come and go. Financial resources change. Moves happen. Careers take a path of their own. And just as people grow and mature, marriages grow and mature, too.


Each season of life will require different types of date nights. What once was a fun date night in your thirties, may not sound like fun in your sixties.

No matter what stage you are in, you can make date night fun, renewing, exciting, and adventurous.


Here are a few tips to make dating work, no matter what stage of life you are currently in.
​

1. Be flexible and adaptable.

Each season of your marriage will require different types of date nights. Be flexible if your wife just had a baby, or if your husband just had hip surgery.

Find a way to create the best date night for your situation.

If you or your spouse face financial limitations, health challenges, or a lower energy level for life, you will need to be adaptable in order to enjoy dating during whatever season of life you are currently in.

2. Make dating your spouse a priority. 

If you choose to be intentional about it, dating can happen no matter what stage of life you are in. There really is no “ideal time” for dating in marriage, and each season of life has it’s own obstacles, but dating your spouse can always be a priority if you want it to be. It is what you make of it.

Please remember, the whole point of dating is to be intentional about spending time together, continually getting to know each other better and deepening your friendship and love for each other.

3. Do what your spouse would love. 

Perhaps she wants to watch that Hallmark movie and eat chocolate, and he would love to swim laps together.

Maybe she wants season tickets to the theater, and he wants to go shopping for a new motorcycle. Or maybe she would love to cuddle up with him and read a book, and he simply wants to watch golf.

Take turns doing what your spouse would love for date night. Your spouse’s ambition for certain types of dates will change through the years, so continually find out what he/she loves and plan date nights accordingly.
​

Whether your dates are simple or grandiose, the important thing is that you keep dating your spouse through every season of life.

At some future point in your marriage, you will look back and appreciate that your efforts in dating your spouse, with the intention of nurturing love, romance, and friendship, were worth every sacrifice you made in order for that time to be “set aside” for just the two of you.

Thank you Dr Jumba for your genuine spells. This is really incredible, and I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Before I came in contact with Dr Jumba, I have tried every possible means that I could to get my husband back, but I actually came to realize that nothing was working out for me, and my husband had developed a lot of hatred for me.. I thought there was no hope of reuniting with my husband until my friend told me about dr jumba and she gave me dr jumba website i googled it and read good reviews about Dr Jumba work , I decided to give it a try and I did everything that he instructed me and I trusted in him and followed his instructions just as he had guaranteed me in 24 hours, and that was exactly when my husband called me and ask for forgiveness that he his on his way to my house .. We are good more than ever. Everything looks perfect and so natural! Thank you so much for your authentic and indisputable spells. Thank you Dr Jumba for your help.

Hi guys, I don’t have much to say right now rather than to say thank you to Dr Amber for rescuing me and my family from poverty. I love playing the lottery but winning big is always the issue for me. I will never forget the day I came in contact with Dr Amber whose lottery spell made me a winner of $360,000,000 million dollars just by giving me sure winning numbers within 3 days to play the lottery after he prepared the lottery spell for me. My financial status has changed for good and I’ve started to live my dream life after 14 years of playing the lottery. Thank you Dr Amber for I’m very grateful for all you’ve done for me and my family. You can call or message Dr Amber via WhatsApp with +1 (318) 306-5044 or email: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com or visit: www.amberlottotemple.com for more information.

I started playing lottery games 3 years ago and I have never won big sums. I went online to seek help on how I can win big in my lottery games and I saw some nice reviews about Dr Amber who has made different people huge winners in their lottery games with his prayers. I gave it a try and I contacted Dr Amber who told me how and what to do before I can become a big lottery winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me at his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lottery game and when I played it, I won a massive $235.4 million POWERBALL jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people to seek help from him and he can be contacted through his new number +1 (808) 481-5132 via call/text or email: amberlotterytemple@yahoo.com
