Continue - The - Courtship Night ( At Home) - Celestial Feast

Happy Continue-the-Courtship Night to all you married lovers out there.

This one is not free or at home. Even on a tight budget, make sure to schedule times to get a sitter and get out of the house for a minimum of 4 hours. Time for just the two of you to reconnect. If you've been sealed in an LDS Temple, renewing your covenants is vital for spiritually protecting your marriage and family.

Do a session at the temple. I found that there are only a few temples left that are a full-service temple. This means they have a cafeteria. The cafeterias are actually in danger of being closed because of lack of use.

Find a temple near you that is full-service and have dinner in the cafeteria. The price is pretty reasonable and the food is always great. Having once served as a sous chef in the Washington DC temple, I can attest to the care, skill and love that goes into preparing the dishes. If the budget is tight, share a plate - the portions are pretty big anyway.

Then, do an endowment session together. See if you can time it just right so you can sit together and hold hands. Then ask each other in the celestial room about any new insights you received. I always come away with something I never thought about before. If you have a few more minutes, renew yourselves to each other by doing a couple of sealings. The temple workers are always appreciative of any help you can offer, and the blessings to your marriage are immeasurable.

Happy Dating!
