Eight Mini-date Ideas Ideal For Christian Couples

Contrary to popular belief, Christian relationships are not boring or unsatisfying. It is more about the people involved, the intentionality shown, and effort they put into making time spent with each other, worthwhile. This is not to discredit the fact that, from a secular perspective, it can be quite the job, considering that God is the center. In this kind, most of what the world considers exciting, or pleasing will not be entertained. Notwithstanding, a God-centered relationship is not the end of fun, excitement, and satisfaction. It implies that godliness would be a key factor in such relationships.
