Ideas for Connecting with Your Spouse This Holiday Season
The holiday season can be busy and overwhelming, but it’s also a beautiful opportunity to strengthen your connection with your spouse. Here are a few ideas to help you prioritize each other during this special time of year:
- Set Aside Time for Devotionals Together
Make space for daily or weekly devotionals as a couple. Read Scripture, pray together, and discuss how God’s Word applies to your lives and relationship. Share what you’re learning about Jesus to grow spiritually together. - Engage in Service Projects
Find ways to serve your community as a couple or with your whole family. Whether it’s helping at a local shelter or participating in a community outreach event, serving others can bring you closer and remind you of the true meaning of the season. - Create and Celebrate Family Traditions
Build excitement and unity in your family by creating new traditions or revisiting old ones. These shared experiences create anticipation and meaningful memories during the holidays. - Schedule Special Date Nights
Carve out time to focus on each other. This could be a cozy dinner at home or a festive holiday date night out. The key is to make each other a priority amid the busyness. - Choose Thankfulness Over Stress
As holiday stress creeps in, make a conscious effort to practice gratitude. Encourage your spouse with kind words and a thankful heart instead of falling into the habit of complaining or nagging. Small shifts in attitude can make a big difference. - Pray for Each Other and Your Family
Take time to pray for your spouse’s needs, dreams, and challenges, as well as your family’s. Lifting each other up in prayer strengthens your bond and invites God’s guidance into your relationship.
No matter how hectic the season becomes, these small intentional practices can help you stay connected and celebrate what truly matters—your relationship with each other and with Christ.
