Rekindling Romance: From Roommates Back to Soulmates
Bible Verse: “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8
When Did Things Get… Boring?
Remember when your heart used to race when they walked into the room? When date nights felt electric and love notes were a regular thing? Fast forward to today: sweatpants, takeout, and Netflix on repeat.
Look, life gets busy. Work, kids, and bills have a way of dulling the spark. But here’s the thing: Romance doesn’t fade because it’s gone—it fades because it’s not fed.
Studies show that couples who continue dating after marriage report higher levels of satisfaction and intimacy (Marriage Foundation Study).
Why Romance Still Matters
Romance isn’t about grand gestures or expensive trips—it’s about showing your spouse that they’re still chosen, cherished, and pursued.
Life Hacks to Rekindle the Spark
Weekly Date Night: Non-negotiable. Even if it’s homemade pizza and board games.
Surprise Each Other: A love note in their bag, an unexpected coffee delivery—it’s the little things.
Physical Touch Matters: Hold hands, hug often, and steal a kiss in the kitchen.
