What if you could exercise loving curiosity to strengthen your marriage?


Relationships usually begin with excitement and butterflies in your stomach.  We hang on to our partner’s every word and can hardly stand to be apart.  But this ‘romantic intoxication’ slowly fades and we lose the urgent sense of wanting to know them.  We settle into complacency and allow our busyness to become an idol.  365 Dates to Renew Your Christian Marriage will help you:

​

  • Set aside dedicated time just for your relationship

  • Pursue your spouse while falling deeper in love

  • Grow in emotional intimacy

  • View your spouse in a new light

Courtship Conversations For Your Date Night 

Couples are navigated through questions in what Dana coins ‘Courtship Conversations’.
Every date consists of three questions:

Ready 

 

Which of us is more likely to laugh at an inappropriate time? 

​

​

The Ready questions allow couples to reconnect in conversation, often the readers share a laugh easing them into further discussion. 

Set 

 

If you could time travel to meet family members, would you rather go back in history or into the future?

​

The Set questions were formed to deepen the couple’s conversation while they are enjoying their date night.

​

​

​

Go

 

Which 3 words come to mind when you think of God? 

​

 

Lastly, the Go question is meant for couples to enter into a thought-provoking conversation stirring curiosity while gaining new insights into their spouse’s perspectives.
