Fun and Faith Filled Ways to Reconnect With Your Spouse and Strengthen Your Marriage
Are you looking for ways to reconnect with your spouse emotionally and physically?
Let’s be real for a second.
Marriage isn’t always candlelit dinners and swoon-worthy date nights. Sometimes it’s two tired people staring blankly at the TV, deciding whether it’s worth the effort to microwave leftovers. Romance, right?
Life gets busy. Between work, kids, bills, and trying to figure out if laundry multiplies overnight (seriously, how?), connecting with your spouse can start to feel like another item on your to-do list. And let’s be honest—by the time you get a moment to breathe, you’d rather nap than talk.
But here’s the good news: quality time doesn’t have to be some Pinterest-perfect, candle-and-charcuterie situation. It can be simple, fun, and even faith-filled—yes, you can laugh and love Jesus at the same time. In fact, I highly recommend it.
So if you’ve been feeling a little disconnected or just want to freshen up your together-time, here are a few fun and faith-centered ways to reconnect without overcomplicating things.
1. Make a “Laugh List” Together
Sit down and make a list of the funniest things that have ever happened in your relationship. You know, the time he locked the keys in the car while it was running, or when you both got lost trying to follow GPS on a hiking trail. (“Recalculating” lives rent-free in my brain.)
Laughter brings lightness back into the room. It helps you remember that before you were co-survivors of adulting, you were two people who actually liked being silly together.
Bonus idea: Keep the list somewhere visible and add to it regularly. Instant mood booster!
2. Pray Together (Even If It Feels Weird at First)
Praying together can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not used to it. But don’t overthink it. You don’t have to give a sermon—just talk to God out loud, like you would talk to a trusted friend.
Start small. Thank God for one thing. Ask for peace in your home. Say a quick blessing over each other. Simple, honest prayers can build deep spiritual intimacy and help you feel more united.
And hey, if someone starts snoring mid-prayer, just count it as “resting in the Spirit.”
3. Bible and Breakfast (Cereal Counts)
Grab a bowl of cereal (or whatever you can manage), sit down together, and read a short devotional or a verse. No need to do a deep-dive theology study.
The goal is to start your day centered and connected.
You can ask each other: “What does this mean for us today?” or “How can we live this out in our marriage?” One small seed of faith can grow into something beautiful when you plant it daily.
4. Watch Something That Makes You Both Laugh
Don’t underestimate the power of a good comedy night. Find a show or movie that makes you both genuinely laugh—even if it’s something you’ve seen a million times.
Laughter resets the atmosphere. It cuts through tension and brings you back to joy. Plus, it’s cheaper than therapy and doesn’t require you to leave the house. Win-win.
5. Dance to Worship Music in the Kitchen (Yes, Really)
Put on a worship playlist and slow dance right in the kitchen, crumbs and all. Or sing out loud while making dinner. (Bonus points if one of you doesn’t know the words and just hums dramatically.)
You don’t need a church service to worship. These small, sacred moments of togetherness invite God into the everyday.
6. Ask Each Other Fun, Random Questions
Forget the usual “how was your day” stuff. Instead, try questions like:
• “If we could go anywhere right now, where would you take me?”
• “What’s something you’ve always wanted us to try together?”
• “What did you first notice about me?”
You’d be surprised how a few offbeat questions can spark deeper connection and maybe even some unexpected laughs.
7. Serve Each Other in Small, Intentional Ways
Serving doesn’t have to be grand. It can look like making coffee for your spouse before they ask. Or folding the towels even though they always say you do it wrong. (Because love is patient. Love is kind. Love overlooks crooked towel edges.)
When we serve each other with a joyful heart, we mirror Christ’s love. And that brings a whole new level of meaning to your daily routines.
You don’t need a luxurious vacation to reconnect. Most of the magic in marriage happens in the in-between: the laughter after a long day, the prayer whispered before bed, the hugs while doing dishes.
God created marriage to be a reflection of His love—not perfect, but purposeful.
So whether you’re thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between, give yourselves permission to reconnect in simple ways. Choose fun. Choose faith. Choose each other.
Laugh. Pray. Repeat.
And remember: the best parts of your love story are still being written.
Reconnecting with your spouse doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. With these simple and faith-filled ways to spend quality time together—like laughing more, praying intentionally, and creating meaningful moments—you can strengthen your marriage and grow closer emotionally and spiritually.
Whether you’re in a busy season or just looking for fresh ideas, choosing to invest in your relationship with purpose can make a lasting difference.
