Anyone want to share to keep that special spark alive?

We love date nights!!

My favourite type of date night is planning a delicious meal that we can make together with some wine and chit chat. It sounds kinda boring but we really love cooking together!

Other than that, anythign for us to do "just us"...trying out a new restaurant, rollerblading in the summer, even just going for a drive... we are constantly so busy with family and friends all.the.time that we don't get too many opportunities to hang out with just the 2 of us!!!

We don't really do many date nights for just the 2 of us.  We do stuff with other couples a lot though.  We go to dinner or have dinner at home or at friends and we play cards, go bowling, ride go-carts, play mini-golf, play wii, etc.

miss_em...we are constantly so busy with family and friends all.the.time that we don't get too many opportunities to hang out with just the 2 of us!!! TOTALLY relate, its like crazy for us to find ONE day to ourselves...

We love to go out and try new places to eat... One of my favorite things is to get dressed up for eachother... even if its just heels for me or a button down for him for dinner... it really makes me excited to spend time with him :)

We also like cooking in (making a big deal dinner for one another) and then eating in the candle lite... then after we flop on the couch with drinks and movies... perfecto :)

miss_em and soon2BMRStip....Gosh I understand about not getting that much time to hang out!!!  We work COMPLETELY different schedules, and we only get to see each other 2 times a week.  We basically pass in the night :-)!  DH would get home around 3am or 4am and I would wake up at 6am to leave for work while he was sleeping..On the days off that we did have together we would rather spend it at home cooking a meal and having a couple of drinks. 

We just went out last Saturday night--totally impromptu--to a little diner and then to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D.   That casual little evening did WONDERS for us...there's just something about going out with your man--it totally re-ignites the spark, don't you think?

I think so too wildfirej29!!  It is crazy but sometimes when we go out to a movie, it makes me get that first date feeling again. 

going to the movies with FI does the same for me. we don't miss many evenings together, we always hang out at home and work on projects around the house. we visit family and friends some weekends. we have smilar work schedules except i get home later than he does so he always takes care of dinner for us.

when i work at night or on saturdays, i dread leaving him in bed. but sometimes i have to work off hours.

we usually do dinner and movies, but tonight we went to a comedy club to see one of our favorite stand up comics and laughed so hard that we cried! (and i actually lost a contact lens!!!) it was so fun to do something different that we don't do very often :)

Just going to dinner to be able to sit down, face-to-face, and just talk to each other for a while is fine with me!!!
