It’s spring, and Easter is right around the corner. As Christians there isn’t a more important date on the calendar, for Easter represents the freedom Christ bought for us. It truly is a date to celebrate. And as couples the Truth of our redemption seals our covenant in a way nothing on this earth ever could. God has made us one flesh and it is a marvelous mystery.

What better way to celebrate than to plan an evening doing all the Easter traditions with a romantic twist.

Coloring Secret Message Easter Eggs:

• Divide the eggs – six for you and six for your spouse. Using a white crayon write six words (one on each egg) that you love about your spouse.
• Exchange the eggs and take turns dipping the eggs into the dye to read what your spouse loves about you.
• Put eggs in refrigerator to eat later.

Plan an Easter Brunch for Two:

Have a Romantic Egg Hunt:
