I recently stumbled upon an article on the Internet about a married man who was dating someone and everybody was applauding him. I was quickly flabbergasted with the Internet community at large, and wondered what had happened to the world. However, as I read the story of Jarid Wilson, a pastor, author, and blogger, I found out that he was dating his own wife. This brought in a new revelation in my thought process as I realized that dating your wife seems to be a concept so many men fail to understand.
Why is it that the moment you get married, the woman of your dreams suddenly looks ordinary to you? Just because you’re married doesn’t mean that you can’t date her. Dating a wife is all about doing those little mushy things that you used to do together. It involves going that extra mile to see the twinkle in her eyes. Date your wife because you will know how beautiful life truly is. If you are in need of some inspiration, I am going to state 10 reasons why you must date your wife.
