Friendship is the foundation of a strong and lasting marriage, but the pressures of everyday life can cause couples to drift from the fun, connection, and closeness they once shared. In this episode of Still Holding Hands, Tim & Chris explore how Christian couples can rediscover friendship in marriage, reconnect emotionally, and find joy in doing life together again. Learn practical, faith-based ways to strengthen your relationship, create meaningful moments, improve communication, and build a Christ-centered marriage where love, laughter, and companionship thrive through every season.

STILL HOLDING HANDS CHALLENGE:

The couple whose laughs last, will last!

• Ask your spouse "What made us laugh so much when….
  • We were 1st dating
  • In our early days/months/years of marriage"
• Recreate a fun dating memory where you were connected (fun-laughter-friendship)
  • Go back to the location of your 1st date
  • Rewatch an old movie that made you both laugh
  • Look at old pictures
  • Cook a meal together
• Be intentional to bring back 'that activity' you reminisced about
  • Keep it active
  • Keep it fresh
  • Make it a priority
  • Do it regularly & consistently
    • Not a one time every blue moon event……
