Especially if your spouse had a faith crisis or stopped participating in the church after you married, you may find that previously shared interests or activities have changed. For example, you might have attended church activities together or worshipped in the temple together and that may not be the case now. It’s important to continue to strengthen your relationship, create memories together, and participate in shared activities. Continue to go on dates. Find ways to connect and to nurture your spouse. For my husband and I, this includes going on walks together, trying new restaurants, traveling, playing games, and more. Find things that you enjoy doing together and spend time doing these activities. Prioritize your marriage. This may look different in different seasons, depending on your finances, ages of children, and so on. But make it a priority to continue to strengthen your relationship.
