Advanced Preparation

  • Put on an outfit that resembles something you might have worn when you first met to impress your future spouse.

  • Find a few pictures from when you first started dating to view together.

Discuss

While looking at the photos, take turns answering the following questions.

  • When did you first notice/see your spouse?

  • What was he/she wearing?

  • What were your first thoughts?

  • When did you first kiss?

  • When did you first say, "I love you?"

  • What is one of your funniest memories together?

Going Deeper

Choose one or both of the following topics to connect at a deeper level.

  • Complete this sentence: "One of the qualities that first drew me to you was your..." (i.e. sincerity, loyalty, compassion, passion for the truth, humor)

  • Someone said "If you want what you once had, you must do what you once did." Each spouse describes one thing "you once did" that you would like to start doing again.

 

Bonus Options

  • Before you go to bed tonight, pray with your spouse, thanking God for great memories and your life together.

  • Find one of the love songs you both enjoyed while dating and dance together. (If you can't dance, try it anyway!)
