One of the benefits of ongoing dating with your spouse is better communication.
Dating is a way to prevent the “two ships passing in the night” syndrome. It can give you opportunities to talk without distraction. Conversations can happen when you are on a date that would not otherwise happen. Dating your spouse is a simple way to strengthen your communication and have fun in the process!
Communication is the meeting of meaning. When your meaning meets my meaning across the bridge of words, tones, acts, and deeds, when understanding occurs, then we know that we have communicated. ~ David Augsburger
