What to Do: Schedule a date at a location (feel free to consider an at home date night this week! We know Thanksgiving week can be challenging but we also know that prioritzing quality time as a couple is important during the holidays!)  that is the same as or similar to one of your first dates. Look at photos and think back to reminisce about the beginning of their relationship together. For bonus points, gather a few pictures from when you first started dating to bring with you.

Discuss

• When did you first notice/see your spouse?
• What were they wearing?
• What were your first thoughts?
• When did you first kiss your spouse?
• When did you first say “I love you?”
