In this episode of the Yes, Dear Podcast, Dana and Patrick dive into one of the most overlooked (and most needed) parts of marriage, dating your spouse. Whether you’ve been married a few years or a few decades, it’s easy to slip into “robot mode” and forget to intentionally pursue each other.
They get real about the rhythms, ruts, and realities of long-term love—how to stoke the fire, rekindle friendship, and keep fun, laughter, and playfulness alive. From scheduling date nights to rediscovering what makes you laugh together, this episode is equal parts truth, humor, and heart.
You’ll laugh, nod, and probably feel convicted (in a good way) as they share their own marriage lessons, why “intentional romance” matters, and what happens when work, kids, and life take over.
Topics include:
- Dating your spouse vs. going on a date
- Why friendship is the foundation of romance
- How to stay curious about each other
- What to do when work and family crowd out connection
- And why keeping the playfulness alive really matters
Real marriage. Real laughter. Real talk.
