Show notes

About This Episode Do you ever get stuck in a rut when it comes to pursuing your spouse?

With spring on the way, Aaron and Jennifer share 12 date ideas to help you think creatively about the next season of your marriage. They open with a William Wordsworth poem and Scripture, reminisce about their own early dates, and make the case that marriage is meant to be enjoyed, not just constantly worked on. The key is simple: put the date on the calendar.
