How to convert ObjectProperty<Date> to ObjectProperty<LocalDate>

I want to bind

dp_date_add.valueProperty().bindBidirectional(model.forDateProperty());

where forDateProperty() is:

public ObjectProperty<Date> forDateProperty() {
        if(forDate == null){
            forDate = new SimpleObjectProperty<>();
        }
        return forDate;
    }

The problem is bindBiderectional accpets only LocalDate. I've tried this:

dp_date_add.valueProperty().bindBidirectional(model.forDateProperty().get().toInstant().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDate());

But it doesn't works, because it convert to LocalDate, not to Property LocalDate.

The easy way to fix this, if you can, is to change the model so it uses an ObjectProperty<LocalDate>. Assuming you can't do that, you need to use two listeners:

dp_date_add.valueProperty().addListener((obs, oldDate, newDate) -> 
    model.forDateProperty().set(Date.from(newDate.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant())));

model.forDateProperty().addListener((obs, oldDate, newDate) -> 
    dp_date_add.setValue(model.forDateProperty().get().toInstant().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDate()));
