The Idea: Trust grows when you slow down together. This date invites you to gather around the glow of a fire or candles, enjoy something sweet, and share verses that remind you God can be trusted in every season.

How It Works:

1. Build a Fire or Light Candles 
   Make s’mores over a firepit or your stovetop.
   

2. Pick a Trust Verse 
   Each of you share a verse from the Bible that helps you trust God and explain why it matters to you. Then talk through the conversation starters at the end of the list of dates below.
   

The Idea: Sometimes faith feels clearest in the dark. This date is about creating space for honest conversation around candlelight, sharing stories from tough seasons, and finding comfort in God’s Word as your source of light and strength.

How It Works:

1. Turn Off the Lights
   Have your date by candlelight or string lights only. 
   

2. Talk About the “Dark Seasons”
   Share a season where you didn’t have answers and if it felt difficult to trust God during that time.
   

3. Read a Psalm Together
   Pick a verse about trust (like Psalm 28:7) and read it aloud. Then talk through the provided conversation starters at the bottom of the list of dates.

The Idea: Trust takes courage when you can’t see what’s ahead. This date uses a playful activity to spark deeper conversation about safety, faith, and what it means to follow God even when the path isn’t clear.

How It Works:

1. Do a Trust Activity
   Take turns guiding each other through a silly obstacle course (or even just the living room) blindfolded.
   

2. Debrief the Moment
   Talk about what made you feel safe—or nervous.
   

3. Connect It to Faith
   Reflect on what it means to follow God when we can’t see the whole picture. Use the provided conversation starters at the bottom of the list of dates.

Help you remember your love story and write the next chapter...

Remember the Beginning:

1. What prayers did you pray in the early days of our relationship?

2. Looking back now, how has God surprised you in the way our story began?

Reflect on the Journey:

1. How has our faith grown through the ups and downs of married life?

2. What’s something hard we’ve faced that we can now see had purpose?

Write the Next Chapter:

1. How can we encourage each other when trust feels hard?

2. If we wrote a “prayer for our marriage” today, what would it say?

Bonus Tip: Write your answers in a journal to document these reflections and dreams together. It’s a beautiful way to track your progress and see where you’re headed!
