the Star
A date night for married couples
Pack for the journey
The wise men didn't know every turn of the road. They just followed the light. Tonight you'll do the same: three stars, each sealed, each leading somewhere new.
Which star will you follow?
Three stars in the sky, each one sealed. Pick one together. Don't peek at the others.
The star moves
The journey isn't over. Choose the next star and see where it takes you.
By starlight
Take turns answering, starting with {H}. Slow down. This is the heart of the night.
They rejoiced
After a long journey, the wise men finally saw where the star had led them. Read it together.
"When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him."MATTHEW 2:10–11 (ESV)
- A time this year God led us somewhere we didn't expect was…
- One way I want us to make room for Jesus this Christmas is…
Hold hands. Thank God for sending Jesus, and ask Him to lead your marriage like the star led the wise men, one step at a time.
The star stops
The wise men's journey ended with gifts. Yours does too. Bring your wrapped gifts and open the final star.
Gifts that don't come in a box
The best gifts can't be wrapped. Each write two gifts you want to give your spouse next year. They'll go on your date card.
A starlight kiss
You followed the star all night. It led you right back to each other.
Driver, eyes on the road. Save the kiss for when you're parked.
Twelve seconds, one for each day of Christmas. Going over is encouraged.
Of all the gifts you exchanged tonight, the best one is the two of you. Seal the journey with a kiss.
