My husband and I have been having a home date night for over 15 years now.

Living on a single income and feeding 6 children, doesn’t leave much spending money for babysitters.

Not to mention how much it would cost to pay a reliable babysitter for 6 children.

We try to have a home date night at least one night a week, of course, life gets busy and it doesn’t always happen.

However, I believe this one area that Satan tends to get the best of us. He is in the busineess of breaking up marriages, especially Christian marriages. And he is pretty good at it if you ask me… considering the divorce rate among Christians is at a high rate of 50%.

Please don’t let Satan win!

Make dating your soulmate a priority! Even if it is a home date!
