A husband finds out his wife is pregnant with twins, and his reaction is priceless. The look on his face when he first learns the big news says it all. Watch the short but hilarious and heartwarming clip to see how this father and husband reacted when he realized that two more people would soon enter his life.

Nothing will likely change your life more than becoming a parent. Children need a ton of attention and care. They are also exhausting, and many children often have odd and unpredictable sleeping patterns; parents will be forced to go without sleep for days. Free, personal and alone time becomes an idea of the past once children come into the picture.

However, for all the changes that occur once children arrive, no parent would ever go back to a time without their little ones. Children change every aspect of life imaginable, but for the better. That’s a statement and a conclusion that every parent will wholeheartedly agree with and support.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the moment one man learns he is about to be the father of twins is captured. It’s clear from the look on his face that he is feeling all kinds of emotions. Who wouldn’t at that point? He seemingly goes from shock to disbelief to fear and, finally, to utter joy, all in a matter of seconds.

While holding a child, the man gets a look at a sonogram picture, and he looks at the camera with a puzzled and inquisitive look.

“What’s that?” he asks. “Twins? What?”

At that moment, he is every husband when they first learn they are having twins. He is in a state of shock and disbelief. Once he finally realizes what he’s just learned, he is overjoyed about the impending arrival of two new lives.

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

A high school principal went above and beyond to show support for graduating students. The dedicated educator's actions were kind, sweet and completely unexpected. Watch the short but powerful clip to see what the high school principal did that meant so much and caught the graduating seniors by surprise.

Graduation, whether from high school or college, is a milestone that should be recognized and celebrated. It’s a big step in life, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. What happens after someone walks across the stage and accepts their diploma is often unknown and can be frightening.

Those graduates typically have many questions, dreams and fears about their future. That’s why they need to know they are loved and supported as they set out for the future and the unknown. Students who graduated from one high school in Texas know they are loved and supported after what the school’s principal did for every member of the graduating class.

A clip posted on YouTube tells of how Jason Mutterer sat down and wrote a note to all 443 members of his school’s graduating class. These weren’t form letters where he signed his name at the bottom. He personalized them, spending hours after work learning about the students. The notes informed each student how they had personally impacted the school for the better.

“So, I wanted them to be able to pull that out and be a reminder that there’s something very special inside of them,” he said.

One student mentioned he teared up while reading the personalized, handwritten card from the school’s principal.

Even during their graduation ceremony, the high school principal, while speaking, actually turned his back on the crowd at one point and addressed the students specifically one last time.

“He made every single one of us feel seen and loved that day,” one student said.

What a beautiful and powerful act of kindness!

Luke 6:40 “The disciple is not above his teacher: but everyone when he is perfected shall be as his teacher.”

A delivery driver had a sweet surprise for three kids running a lemonade stand, and his kindness warms hearts. It was an unexpected move and one that those children will surely remember well into the future. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what the delivery driver did that will likely have you brushing away a tear or two or three from your eyes.
 
Kindness and generosity are in short supply today. Turn on the evening news or log into Instagram, Facebook or any other popular social media platform, and you’ll soon discover this to be true. Many people seem able to inflict an incredible amount of hurt and pain on one another.
 
Yes, it seems that cruelty, brutality and apathy often reign supreme in society. Who cares what happens to someone else as long as I get mine, right?  However, that is not always correct. There are still kind, caring and loving people in the world. A clip posted on social media shows this is very much the case.
 
In the video, the delivery driver, who appears to work for UPS, exits his truck and walks up to a lemonade stand being run by three young ladies. Like every child who has ever operated a lemonade business, they are simply trying to quench their customers' thirst while also making a little bit of money in the process. However, the deliveryman is a bit surprised after asking about the going rate for a cup of their lemonade.
 
“Fifty cents, but you can have it for free,” one of the young ladies responds to the driver’s inquiry.
 
“What?” the man says, flabbergasted at the response.
 
He then proceeds to try their lemonade, commenting that their drink is delicious. But he does not simply get in his truck and drive away. Instead, he surprises each of them with a rather large tip, giving each girl $20.
 
What a wonderfully kind and unexpected gesture! Those three young ladies will likely remember that man’s kindness for years.
 
Proverbs 11:17 “The man who has mercy will be rewarded, but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself.”

A young man ran off the track mid-race for the most heartwarming reason. His move was certainly unexpected, but why he did it will have you reaching for the tissues to wipe your eyes. Watch the short but precious clip to see why the young athlete temporarily exited the track during a race.

Many people enjoy watching sports. Every year, the Super Bowl is the most-watched thing on television. Sports fans love seeing athletes at the top of their game compete against one another. And, for the most part, it doesn’t matter what sport. If people compete against one another for some title or trophy, individuals will likely tune in to see who comes out on top.

Spectators love seeing athletes doing their best, doing all they can to win the game, match or heat. However, no fan wants to see athletes give up before the clock says zero. But a clip posted on YouTube shows a runner not giving up but taking a detour during a race, and he did so for the most precious, heartwarming reason imaginable.

The video starts with the beginning of a race at the Special Olympics. The athletes make their way along the track as a crowd of people stands just off the track, using their phones to capture every moment of the race. However, seconds into the race, something unexpected happens.

As the runners pass by, one young man is seen crossing the track, approaching the cameras. Several people yell and tell him to remain on the track, but he doesn’t listen. Instead, he runs over to his mother and kisses her. After showing his mother how much he loves and appreciates her, he returns to the track and continues with his race.

What an adorable scene! When it comes to sports, it’s easy to get caught up in the heat of the competition, but this young man knew what mattered most to him: his mother.

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.”

A group of kids brought joy to a woman’s day with a heartwarming surprise. The children took it upon themselves to do something nice for her. Watch the short but tear-jerking video to see what the kids did and why.

No one likes getting older and being reminded that they are aging, so most people don’t enjoy their birthdays. Some people may even avoid that particular day on the calendar like the plague and act as if that day does not even exist. What’s wrong with a calendar with one less day? There are still 364 others.

Anyway, as much as people may dislike their birthday, everyone enjoys feeling as if someone recognizes and appreciates them. Helping someone celebrate the day they entered the world is an excellent way to do just that. In a clip posted on social media, a group of youngsters did just that for a woman who lives in their neighborhood.

In the video, four children stand at a woman’s front door with a cake and a balloon. The kids are singing “Happy Birthday” as the woman opens the door to the four youngsters serenading her with the song everyone knows and loves. She is all smiles and is obviously touched by the children’s kind and loving gesture.

But this wasn’t just any birthday surprise.

The video's text makes it clear that the woman lives alone, and the kids wanted to do something to make her feel special and appreciated on her big day.

A cake, a balloon and a musical performance aren’t the world’s biggest, flashiest and most attention-grabbing things. However, the fact that those children knew and cared enough to think of her on her birthday will likely bring a tear or two to anyone’s eyes. What a beautiful gesture that likely meant the world to that woman.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

One young woman’s unexpected graduation moment leaves the crowd cheering. She displayed resilience and strength of character as she made her way to receive her diploma. Watch the short and powerful clip to see what she did that will likely have you wiping away a tear or two from your eyes.

Life is a long series of unexpected events. Some will be good, happy occasions and reasons to celebrate, where you’ll experience life’s mountaintop. However, unfortunately, with other instances, you’ll experience the valleys, the lowest of lows. Those situations will be marked by pain, agony and heartbreak.

While we often cannot control or predict what will happen, we have power over our response and reaction. When life becomes unbearable and overwhelming, we can quit and declare ourselves defeated or soldier on, doing what we can to make the best of the situation. In a clip posted on YouTube, a recent George Mason graduate, Samantha Lewis, refused to quit, continuing when she encountered devastating, overwhelming circumstances.

She came down with a rare neurological condition, causing her to lose feeling in both legs, basically leaving her paralyzed. However, although it would have been much easier, Samantha refused to give up. She continued with her studies, taking six classes simultaneously while she went through months of physical therapy. The video explains that she had to learn to walk again.

“I’m going to try my best because I can’t give up without trying first,” Samantha said.

Eventually, graduation day arrived, and Samantha appeared on stage in a wheelchair. Still, she did something no one saw coming: She stood up and walked across the stage to receive her diploma, and as she did that, the noise level was deafening.

“What inspires people who you become despite what you’ve been through,” Samantha said.

James 1:12 “There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God’s approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.”

A barber’s gentle approach to a young man with autism touches hearts. The man went at a pace that was comfortable and to the young man’s liking, never pushing him any further than he wanted to go. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what the barber did that will have you brushing away tears from your eyes.

The world is often a scary, sad and cruel place. Have a glance at the evening news or spend five minutes on any popular social media platform, and you’ll quickly come to the same conclusion. Sadly, people have the ability to inflict immeasurable pain and suffering upon one another.

Undoubtedly, love, kindness and patience are in short supply today. Many people say they desire to improve the world and make it a better place, so why don’t they? Why not start by being kinder, more loving and patient with those in our spheres of influence? That is precisely what one barber did in a clip posted on YouTube.

The clip begins with the barber approaching the young man, Kyson. From his initial reaction, it’s clear that this is an entirely new experience for him, and he’s terrified. However, the barber remains calm, cool and understanding throughout the process.

The barber talks to the young man the whole time, trying to understand what makes him so afraid and uneasy. Anytime something arises that upsets Kyson, the barber slows things down and patiently reassures him.

Eventually, the little guy feels comfortable enough to hop into the chair and is coaxed into getting his haircut. While cutting the young man’s hair, the barber starts conversing with him, asking if they are now friends.

Later, the clip shows Kyson’s second visit to the barbershop, during which the barber demonstrates the same level of kindness, love and patience.

“That’s the gift when you’re like, when you see him transition from being terrified to just trusting, you know?” the kind and understanding barber says.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

A community has come together to support an 80-year-old man still working to pay medical bills. The elderly gentleman continues to go to work because of a promise he made to his late wife. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what the community did and why the man continues to work even though he’s past the age when most people retire.

Retirement is a lifelong goal for most people. That time when someone can kick back and relax and not have to worry about going to a 9-to-5 is a period many people dream about. When someone reaches the point where they no longer have to work, it is no wonder that they are often said to be in their “golden years.”

Sadly, though, not everyone can afford to retire. For one reason or another, a lot of people have to continue working even at an advanced age. However, someone in their 80s or 90s shouldn’t have to work. We were created for more than simply working until we drop dead. That’s exactly what one woman thought when she saw Gary Saling bagging groceries, and she decided to do something.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Gary explains that his wife Carol developed and later died from a form of dementia. However, he explains that he made a promise to her when she was sick: he would not put her in a nursing home but would instead keep her at their home. He turned to bagging groceries to help pay off the thousands in medical bills owed.

Duana Johnson saw the kind and gentle elderly man working at the supermarket and decided to do something.

“I saw Gary bagging groceries, and I thought, ‘What’s this guy? Why’s this elderly man still here?’” she asked.

The woman who is the head of a ministry in her Utah town started a donation account at a bank on behalf of Gary.

“So, we started a fundraiser, and people have been messaging saying that they, they see him all the time,” she said. “And they really love him. He’s always nice. He’s always kind. He’s always, like, you know, greeting them and smiling.”

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking every to his private good, but keep in mind the things of others.”

"Let me fall in love with you."

A class immediately erupted in cheers following a student’s life-changing announcement. The youngsters were beyond thrilled for their classmate and wasted no time expressing their excitement and happiness. Watch the short but powerful clip to see how the students responded and hear what excited them all.

Life is often not a fair or fun experience. That is especially true when someone comes down with a life-threatening medical condition. These are never easy circumstances, but they become exponentially more challenging and gut-wrenching when the patient is a child. No one ever wants to see a child suffer. Sadly, that is a situation that is all too familiar.

However, while it’s human nature to immediately jump to and envision the worst possible conclusion whenever someone mentions cancer, people do and can beat that horrible disease. A clip posted on social media shows a young man who was battling cancer informing his young classmates that he is now cancer-free.

In the video, the young man is captured quickly walking through the halls. It’s almost like he’s a man on a mission, ready to tell everyone possible about his good news, and why should he be? Cancer is an awful, horrible thing, and whenever it is defeated, it should be shared widely and celebrated.

As the little guy entered the auditorium, he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers and applause. His mere presence was enough to send his classmates wild, but the best was still yet to come.

While standing at the front of the room, an adult informs the youngsters sitting on the ground that Braxton wanted to stop by and share some important news with them.

“I’m cancer-free,” the young man says proudly.

The students erupt into cheers and applause, loving the news that they have just heard that their beloved classmate has defeated cancer.

What an absolutely beautiful announcement and reaction!

Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.”

A dedicated and determined husband completely dismantled their car to recover his wife’s lost wedding ring. Nothing would stop or stand in his way in the search for his wife’s wedding band. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see the lengths one young man went to recover the wedding ring that his better half had lost.

One’s wedding day is easily one of the best days of their life. It’s the day when two people in love make a lifelong commitment to one another in front of God and their friends and family to stick it out and remain by each other’s side regardless of what life may throw their way. What’s not to love and enjoy about weddings?

Of course, there are many ways to keep and preserve the memories made on that special day, during that ceremony. Photos and videos are just two ways in which the moments on that special day can be forever captured, looked back upon and cherished. However, the wedding ring is likely the most important sign and memento from that all-important, life-changing day.

So, that’s why whenever someone loses or momentarily misplaces their wedding ring, they immediately get that awful feeling in the pit of their stomach. That was a feeling Jessica Foster likely felt when she lost her wedding ring in her and her husband’s BMW. However, her husband, Geno, was not going to be stopped. He was going to find that ring and actually took apart their car to find it.

In the video posted on YouTube, Geno is seen digging through what remains of his BMW. He has removed everything from it, leaving only the frame.

Eventually, Geno found what he was looking for: the ring between two pieces of carpet near the vehicle’s center console.

“I just knew I had to do whatever it takes to find the ring,” he said. “I wasn’t going to stop looking for it.”

Philippians 4:13 “I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.”

* Start life with a disability and relentless bullying and no longer wish to live. * Hit the party scene like a whirlwind, wild party lifestyle. * Identity Theft left homeless and hungry. Life had spiraled out of control; anger and hate were all that was left. There was nothing left to live for. * A miracle that was life-altering, and there is no going back. * No longer the same, from abused and broken to a new life and restored—purpose from the pain. Never underestimate the broken and discarded because they can become the fiercest warriors. Waiting on God for the next steps (Episodic for TV or Feature Film on the Big Screen).

Love and devotion were fully displayed when a couple renewed their vows after 71 beautiful years. The elderly pair, with their sweet ceremony, showed they are still deeply in love, committed and wholly devoted to one another. Watch the short but tear-jerking clip to see the two renew their vows and hear a little about this couple who have been together for over 70 years.

Marriage is not easy, but that is always the case when something is worth the effort. Like in every relationship, there are bumps all along the way in a marriage—disagreements and heated arguments are bound to happen. Anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or has never been married. There is no such thing as a perfect marriage.

However, a marriage between two committed and wholly devoted people who love one another can withstand those intense, heated disagreements. As the Bible says in 1 Corinthians, love is patient, kind, not easily angered and keeps no record of wrong, among other things. Love never fails.

A clip posted on YouTube shows a couple who is an excellent example of how love is described in 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Albert Love and Kathleen Hart have been married for over 70 years and undoubtedly have had their fair share of disagreements and tiffs. But they have weathered those storms, remained together, and recently upped their commitment to one another as they renewed their wedding vows on their 71st anniversary at their nursing home.

While holding hands with her dearly beloved husband, Albert, Kathleen said the couple had a very specific and sweet reason for renewing their wedding vows.

“We’ve been married a long time, and our kids weren’t there for our first wedding, so we decided to do it again for them,” she said.

The clip mentions that the pastor who officiated their renewal ceremony was their son.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

A 13-year-old who loves learning has graduated from college. Not even old enough to drive, this young man already has a college degree. Watch the short but awe-inspiring clip to see and hear about this young man’s incredible educational achievement.

An education is something that will forever and always remain incomplete. Regardless of the number of degrees someone may possess, there will always be more to learn. More facts, figures and information exist than we currently know and understand, making learning a never-ending process.

Learning is an ongoing, lifelong procedure. That’s why you are never too old to learn something new, and as one little guy has demonstrated, you are never too young, either. A clip posted on YouTube tells of a 13-year-old, Beckett Potter, who graduated from a college in Dallas, Texas.

As the video explains, Beckett started high school at just 11 years old, and because of dual-credit classes, he completed an associate’s degree. Graduating from college is always an impressive accomplishment that should be recognized and celebrated. It becomes all the more impressive when the diploma recipient is not even old enough to drive a car.

In an interview, the impressive young man thanked his teachers and professors for helping him succeed in the classroom.

“For as long as I can remember, learning has always been one of the best parts of life,” Beckett said. “And, you know, I just enjoy reading and learning…And because of my amazing teachers, and now professors, as I’m here at Dallas College, I’m really grateful that they’ve been able to further my educational journey,” he said.

The video mentioned that Beckett now has plans to move on to a four-year school and major in engineering.

Whether it be engineering, mathematics or some other field, whatever degree this young man ultimately decides to pursue, he will assuredly succeed and do well.

Proverbs 18:15 “The heart of the man of good sense gets knowledge; the ear of the wise is searching for knowledge.”

Blake Shelton has shared how Gwen Stefani has helped strengthen his faith. In an interview, the country music star mentioned how his faith has grown recently and the role his wife and fellow musician, Gwen, has played in that.

Hollywood is typically not a place where faith is openly discussed or shared. For the most part, entertainers are usually tight-lipped regarding matters of faith. If they do share their thoughts and opinions on faith and religion, it’s usually to denigrate or put down those who do have faith and believe in God.

However, during a recent interview with singer-songwriter Kelleleigh Bannen, the host of the Kelleliegh Bannen Show, the topic of faith came up during a conversation with Blake Shelton. She asked the former The Voice judge if he has experienced any change in his faith, given his age, his mid-40s.

Blake was quick to respond, saying that it has grown considerably as of late. He was also quick to say that he credits his growth in his faith to one person: his wife, Gwen Stefani.

“Yeah, I would say that, and that comes from Gwen’s influence, you know?” Blake said. “Gwen in, you know, I’ve learned so much from her and she’s really the person that’s helped me kind of, you know, of get in touch with my faith, and gets serious about it, it’s not just something that you say at an awards show.”

Later in the clip, he mentioned how Gwen has pushed him to constantly think about and consider his faith. He said that she always sees the hand of God in everything around her.

“And it’s really special to be around her because it’s, her faith is alive, and it’s incredible to be around her,” he said. “And she’s so happy about it, and she loves to share it to anybody that’ll listen, and it’s inspiring to be around her.”

1 Peter 2:21 “This is God’s purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps.”

A party invite resulted in a beautiful moment between a little girl and her bus driver. The little girl went out of her way to make the elderly man feel welcomed and loved. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the adorable moment between the two.

Children are some of the most honest people you’ll ever encounter. They are often brutally honest and blunt, typically not beating around the bush, but getting right to the point and stating how they feel, regardless of how someone takes it. If you want an honest assessment or opinion, ask a child, but just be prepared for what you may hear.

Another trait that most children have is their immense capacity to show love, kindness and concern for others. Many will go out of their way to talk to someone, especially if it’s an individual who appears to be all alone. They will be friends with someone who doesn’t seem to have friends. That is precisely what happened in one adorable clip posted on YouTube.

In the video, it’s explained that the young woman was having a party to celebrate her graduation from kindergarten. With it being her party, she probably had a fair amount of control over the guest list. One of the people who received an invite to her shindig was her school bus driver.

The video shows the little girl and the elderly bus driver interacting and conversing. However, the video does not show everything as the narrator explains that the child did everything she could to make the man feel like he belonged.

The man narrating the clip mentions that the child stayed with the older gentleman the entire time he was at the party. She exhibited great concern, love and kindness. How sweet is that?

Philippians 2:4 “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”

When the pandemic first hit, Stanley and Lisa Owen felt the Lord calling them to press on in sharing the Gospel, so they opened up their farm for drive-in Sunday morning services. See how the Owens’ church in the mountains of Virginia utilized their generational family farm to share the Gospel and impact their community—and how Dr. Michael Youssef’s resources are blessing this growing church community.

A McDonald’s employee shows incredible kindness and is instantly rewarded in a way she never expected. Some stories are soft like sunrise. They slip in when you least expect them, wrapping themselves around your heart before you even realize you’re weeping. This one began with a humble question, a Happy Meal, and a woman in a McDonald’s uniform who just wanted to be kind.

She was working the window, the kind of everyday hero we don’t often notice—hair pulled back, shirt tucked in, wearing the grease and grace of a fast food shift. Maybe she’d had a hard morning. Maybe rent was due. Maybe her feet ached in shoes that had lost their cushion months ago. But still, she smiled.

When she walked out to the car to deliver one of the meals they had ordered, she expected to deliver it and walk back to her work. But then the question came, a bit sideways. “Could we borrow $10 for a Happy Meal?” the dad asked gently. Her eyebrows furrowed, unsure. Borrow money from her? At her job? But then—then she looked, really looked, and saw the sweetness in the family. The little one’s hopeful eyes were sitting in the backseat. Something softened. Without hesitation, she nodded and said, “I’ll buy it for you.”

Kindness is just like that: quiet, unassuming, and willing, with no questions and no judgment—just love.

She turned to walk away to cover the cost with her card. But then—she heard it: “Wait. Don’t go.” She paused, thinking maybe he wanted to change the order. Maybe he was embarrassed. Instead, he handed her a handful of cash. A total of $1,000. He looked her in the eye and said, “It was a test. We just wanted to see if someone would help.” And she passed.

Oh, how she passed—with flying colors of grace and compassion. Her hand trembled as she held the cash. Tears brimmed, but she blinked them back. Because sometimes the world surprises you, and when it does, you don’t want to miss a single second of it.

McDonald’s workers are paid decently, but we all know decently isn’t the same as “enough.” And yet, she was willing to give what little she had, simply to show love. It’s these moments that heal the world. The small, unseen decisions to be generous. The yes when it would’ve been easier to say no. The instinct to see people not for what they can give, but for who they are. She was willing to help, and what she received in return was a gift. She received hope. Kindness always comes back, always multiplies, and always matters. And sometimes it shows up in the form of nuggets and apple slices, with $1,000 in thank-you tucked quietly behind it.

Let’s be those people. The ones who see. The ones who stop. The ones who say yes. The ones who change the world, one small act at a time.

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over…” Luke 6:38

Who knew date nights could include coffee and reading the Bible? This couple turns date nights into moments of spiritual growth. We’ve heard it repeatedly—“Don’t stop dating your spouse.” That phrase gets tossed around like wedding confetti—meant to stick, meant to shine, but often forgotten once real life hits. The laundry piles up. The kids fight over cereal. The dishes become mountains, and your conversations become more about schedules and bills than dreams and devotions. 

But what if dating your spouse didn’t have to be so glittery? What if the secret to joy in your marriage wasn’t always about candlelit restaurants or shaved legs, but something deeper and more sacred?

That’s exactly what Faith and her husband are discovering. And it might just be the sweetest thing you’ll see all day. Faith is a Christian mom, a seminary student, a pastor’s wife, and a woman who isn’t afraid to go deep. She’s not in it for surface-level living or shallow faith. Her heart beats for the richness of Scripture and the closeness of Christ. 

In her world, date night looks a little different. It starts with gathering their supplies—journals, Bibles, highlighters—because when the Word of God is involved, even date night becomes holy. Then they head to grab coffee, not to check off a box or make an Instagram-worthy moment, but to sit side by side, Bibles open, hearts open, listening.

Together, they nerd out over theology, underline verses, pause to share what they’re learning, and take notes on what God is whispering to their hearts. There's laughter, tears, and a deep connection that comes from pursuing the Lord together. They’re not just dating—they’re growing. They’re building a marriage that doesn’t rely on fancy dinners but on the rock-solid foundation of Scripture. That kind of dating is more romantic than roses and more intimate than candles. It’s two souls leaning in toward God and each other. 

There’s something so beautiful, so sacred, about flipping through pages of truth while sipping coffee and holding the hand of the one who promised to walk life beside you. This kind of intentionality doesn’t just make for sweet afternoons—it builds the kind of marriage that weathers storms and shines light into dark places.

Maybe you’re craving that kind of connection, too. Maybe your soul is longing not just for a break from the kids or a fun night out, but for something deeper, and something holy. Maybe what your marriage needs most isn’t another dinner out, but an invitation back to God’s Word, together.

When you sit down with your spouse and open the Bible, you’re not just spending time, and you’re sowing seeds. As you read and reflect and pray and laugh over the notes scribbled in the margins, you’ll find that the bond between you deepens in ways that last longer than dessert or movie tickets.

As Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” That third strand? It’s Jesus. And when He’s wrapped right in the middle of your love story, your marriage becomes something rare, beautiful, and unbreakable. So grab the coffee, open the Word, and make a date—not just with each other, but with the One who makes your love story sacred.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
