Best Dating Advice Ever!

"When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives.  Our love of The Lord will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities.  We should put God ahead of everyone else in our lives."
Ezra Taft Benson, "The Great Commandment - Love The Lord" April General Confernce 1988

Shop, Cook, & Enjoy!

Take the time to plan a meal together that will only cost $10.  Plan carefully because the rule is that you are not allowed to spend any more than that.  Go to the store together and buy the ingredients for your meal.  Make sure that you have a full meal and not just one course.  After shopping for the food, go home and cook it together, showing each other your amazing cooking skills!  While you're waiting, set the table, have some good talk time, or play a game.  Then enjoy your cooking masterpiece together!

David A. Bednar - "Become What You Hope Your Spouse Will Be!"


Elder David A. Bednar and his wife had an incredible conversation with Sheri Dew on "The Mormon Channel."  You can go listen to the whole program here: http://www.mormonchannel.org/conversations/1.  Here is some fabulous advice he offered on seeking a spouse:

“As we visit with young adults all over the church often they will ask, ‘What are the characteristics I should look for in a future spouse?”’

"As though they have some checklist of I need to find someone who has these three or four or five things.And I rather forcefully say to them,

‘You are so arrogant to think that you are some catch and that you want someone else who has these five things for you. If you found somebody who had these three or four or five characteristics you are looking for, what makes you think they’d want to marry you? The list is not for evaluating someone else. The list is for you, for me and what I or you need to become. And so if there are three primary characteristics that I hope to find in an eternal companion than those are the three things I ought to be working to become. Then it will be attractive to someone who has those things. So my advice is, you’re not on a shopping spree looking for the greatest value with a series of characteristics. You become what you hope your spouse will be and you’ll have a greater likelihood of finding that person!"

$20 Date Night - Parade of Homes Tours

Find out when your local "Parade of Homes" is and buy some tickets.  Tickets usually cost between $5 and $10 dollars.  Pick out some fancy houses to go see and enjoy the time together dreaming of what it would be like to live in such a house.  Imagine together if you had all the money in the world, what you would change about the house!  You could even buy a "sold" sign for a buck or two before you go on your date and then hold it while you take a picture of yourselves in front of the house as a momento of the date together!
