My wife and I date each other at least once a week. Sometimes we just shoot the breeze and hang out, sometimes we dream together and sometimes we evaluate our lives to ensure that we are living on plan and in purpose.
On our last date we did an impromptu exercise. We both listed our passions as we saw them and listed what we observed the other’s passion to be, based on observation. This was a very revealing exercise but we didn’t stop there.
We then answered the following three questions. How can I use my passions for the greater good? How am I using my passions now and how do I aim to use it in the future?
Today I listened to the instructions of a self-made millionaire and I discovered two more questions we will explore on our next date. How can I use my passion to quickly increase my income? How can I use my passion to work for myself?
I encourage you to do this exercise with your spouse or a close friend. Life is so much better when you at least know the direction you are going in. What do you think? Was this a helpful exercise for you? I would love to hear your ideas for interesting and fun things you do on dates with your spouse.

About Kwesi Williams
Kwesi Williams is a Christian who sincerely believes that people are God’s greatest treasure. That’s the most important part.
He’s the author of SCREAM which chronicles his journey from the hopelessness of pretense and religion to the freedom found in authentic and transparent relationship with God and others.
You may also want to know that he has been a youth ministry practitioner since the age of 16 (for half of his life), most recently serving on the pastoral staff of a church in the Washington Metropolitan area as the full-time youth minister for five years.
Originally from Trinidad, Kwesi relocated to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area as a teenager, struggling to get free from the baggage of an abusive adolescence. After finding his own SCREAM, he has helped others to begin their healing process.
Refreshingly difficult to label, Kwesi is a thinker who feels challenged to minister to young people’s practical needs, as well as providing an environment for worship and fellowship that is relevant to post-moderns.
Kwesi is also a gifted songwriter and singer, anointed worship leader, great father to son Kaleb and daughter Kharon, mentor to many and excellent cook, particularly of jerk chicken.
Through fifteen years together, I have witnessed his SCREAM, and I am proud to call him my husband.

Hi Minister Kwesi; this demetria, Jasmine Pratt’s mom, I don’t know if you still visit this website, just a short note to say hi to u and Minister Tania, hope all is well. Funny thing don’t take this wrong but I had a dream about you last night. Normally when i have dreams about someone it is to pray for them or that i will see them. But anyway if either apply last me know. Miss you both as youth leaders!

This is a something that has been on mind for a while, God has great timing!
