The Anchored in Christ

Men, Take Note: Here's How to Date Your Wife

Latifat & Olushile Akintade

Dr. Latifat and Olushile are a Christian couple who offer faith-based advice through their show, The Anchored in Christ. Together, they explore life, love, and legacy from a biblical lens, encouraging listeners to build Christ-centered relationships and marriages.

In this episode, they explore a wife’s perspective on the popular phrase “Can you just plan the date?” The hosts unpack what women really mean when they say it — and how husbands can love, lead, and pursue with intentionality that reflects God’s heart.

Key Takeaways:
1. Pursuit doesn’t end at “I do.”
2. Planning shows love.
3. Schedule childcare to make time for your dates.
