DO you have a ritual or habit or something you do with your significant other? Like me and my guy like to watch a movie together every night. It gives us our cuddle time, after the kids go to bed. And we both love movies. Although we do not always get a chance to do it everynight. We do try. Also, once everytwo weeks or so we'll go to the grocery store and get some snow crab legs. My son who's 3 has just started getting in on it too. So, when the kids are grown we'll have a crab leg night. I think stuff like that is sweet and helps with the bond. What about you?

i am in a long distance relationship for more than a year now. so, our ritual always consist of chatting everyday before we go to sleep. our day is incomplete without doing so. and since i will be migrating to his country on the 28th of june this year (which i am excited about), i am sure that one of our ritual is watching movies together since both of us loves movies and watching fear factor, as scheduled per week.

since we have no kids yet, everyday is husband and wife time for us. but what we usually do is to go out every saturday for a date. the date is simply walking inside the mall, window shopping or shopping for important things, grocery for the whole week, eat or dine in a restaurant. if there is a movie that we want to watch, we'd watch it. then we'd ean the day by attending an anticipated mass for sunday.

that's sweet. dating does not need to be expensive, right? like a walk together or going window shopping is more than enough to strengthen the bond of lovers/couples. and i do really look forward to those days with my boyfriend soon.

Since my guy and I don't live in the same house, every night when we're about to go to sleep we would talk on the phone. We both have handsfree earphones for our cellphones so we could just lie on bed without the hassle of holding the cellphone. We would just talk about us, our future and stuff. We wouldn't be closing our eyes to sleep unless we have told each other: "Gnyt mommieee/dhaddieee soulmate. I love you. Forever." To have the feeling that we are sleeping on the same bed, we don't end the call, we just let it hang until we reach the 15 minute quota of our network provider. :)

I never looked at it as romantic before, but I guess you could say that. =)

We have kids that are still needing to be driven about almost every night. Once in a while we manage to grab a night out for supper or a movie. No ritual though.

About the only thing me and my boyfriend do is on Thursday nights. His son goes to his mother's house and we usually order a pizza. It gives us some time alone and some good food. But don't worry, his son usually goes out to eat when he goes with his mother. Sometimes we will save him a piece, thats if there is any left.lol.

We never fail to kiss each other goodbye when we part ways everyday.. we never fail to kiss and say goodnight to each other before going to sleep.. at least in out two years together, we never fail to do that since, I just hope that we can continue to do that as we count more years together.

I like the crab leg night ritual. I think it's sweet! We don't really have a specific ritual yet, but we enjoy cooking together and spending time together not necessarily saying anything. (:

me and my older sister have quite the same likes, in the food we eat, the shows or movies we watch, the books we read, the time we sleep and eat (mostly we stay up until the wee hours of the night till the early morn), clothes we wore ( we have the same body size), and almost all the things we do are just so bonding with each other. I'll sure miss her when she'll be wed, she's getting married soon no date yet though, maybe next year.

With my husband and I every night when our daughter is asleep no matter how late he comes in we kiss and embrace each other, ask about each others day and we cuddle a lot. We don't necessary have to have intimacy every time we do that. The important things is the feeling of connection between us and I guess the respect we have with each other.
