Would You Rather: Bible Edition for Christian Couples

While every day is an occasion for serving, holidays provide a great chance to go above and beyond any typical expectations. Holidays are an excuse to indulge in your partner, buying more than you normally would, doing more than you normally would, and just making them feel greater than just good.

Holidays stand apart from other days of the year, particularly when we make them special.

Valentine’s Day isn’t a day everyone anticipates, especially with half the country single, but there are those of us with loves in our lives. And once that special day comes around, we’ll need to figure out how to celebrate.

Should we do the same thing we did last year? Absolutely not. And there’s no use in asking them, that would ruin the surprise. Well, whatever you decide, there’s one thing you can do differently. Whether you’ve been dating for just a couple of months or have been married for years, we can never know a person’s full story. That means there is always something to learn. With this neat little verbal game, you can find out more about your significant other, and you never know, you may find out more about yourself too!

Here’s a list of Would You Rather: Bible Edition questions for you and your significant other to go through this Valentine’s Day.

If you don’t know how this game works, here’s a brief explanation: Take turns prompting one another with the question, “Would you rather,” and then read the two available options.

Example: Would you rather have a robe of many colors or a staff that parts water?

After he or she answers, then you do the same. Take turns going back and forth. Learn and laugh a bit as you love one another.

In Conclusion

Make your Valentine’s Day special by spending it with the one you love. Use these questions to make the day a bit more interesting, and even informative. Do you know who some of these questions reference? How well do you know the Bible? What about your valentine? Discussing Scripture, no matter the occasion, is a sure way to build your faith. Remember, though we may love our husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend, they are not our first love. That position belongs to God. When they leave us, God remains. When we leave them, we move on to be with God.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy them, love them, and serve this day. Right now, today is what we have!

“This is the day the Lord has made; let’s rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)
