How To Make The Most Out Of Your Summer Family Outings

How do you make the most of summer family outings? In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron and Jennifer Smith share how their family plans a weekly adventure day, and why putting outings on the calendar is what actually makes them happen. Whether you're going to the beach, the lake, the mountains, or on a camping trip, they encourage couples to see these outings as memory-building and teamwork rather than relaxation, and to prepare their hearts so they don't get in the way of their family's fun. Aaron admits to being a stick in the mud about the inconvenience and mess, especially beach sand. They walk through Proverbs 17:14 on stopping strife early, Proverbs 19:11 on patience, Proverbs 15:1 on soft answers, and Proverbs 4:18 on being a light, and invite families to pray before they go and welcome gospel interruptions along the way.
