I find it our time to be together enjoying something we both like to do.

Hi, vanities, seems you are romantic! That's great, best wishes.
Now, I have live with my boyfriend, but we go on a date one time a week. You see, we are so young, we should be much more romantic, but just for our hard work, it is so tired everyday, which make us keep staying at home.

I am in a new relationship so we do those things frequently. After you have been together for ahwile those things dont really go on as much I think but if you and your hubby are still doing that after 27 yeas I would considr yourself fortunate. It is good to have good times with someone after having been marrie so long.

My boyfriend and I only get to hang out about twice a week because he works nights and I work days. We probably go on actual dates once every two weeks, our (or his ha) budget permits it of course too. By th etime we do get to hang out sometimes there is nothing open except clubs and bars an dwe don't drink. We are trying to save our money because I have student loans and he's trying to buy a house. Sometime we can make it to the mall before it closes and "splurge" on a variety of yummy candy which we have never tried before then come back to one of our places to watch a movie and pig out on interesting new candy. It's fun, and honestly it doesn't matter what we do as long as we are getting to hang out. His mom's a culnary chef so we often stay in and eat what she cooks us; it's way cheaper and as good or better than going out. Still though, it's nice to leave and hang out in a different atmosphere and climate.

I think it's AWESOME that you still take the time to go on dates after 27 years. Couples really need to do that! I guess people will think it's odd for me to answer this since I have only been married for 5 months. We been together for 3 years though... and we still hold hands like crazy, as if we still can't get enough of each other. We even hold hands when we're in bed falling asleep at night. Haha. Most people are like, "leave me alone so I can fall asleep!" :) We go to movies as much as we can. We have a cheap theater in our town so that helps! And we are constantly watching movies together at home. We plan to always keep it this way so we can always be close and loving. :)

If Hubby and I are going to watch a movie, we will do it at home. Theaters are far too expensive. If we want to go out together, we'll go to the bar (it's right next door so that's handy, no need to worry about who has to drive hom...but then we don't drive anyway, so it's a good thing it's right next door) or we'll go out for dinner, or find a concert or a dance somewhere.

LIke you we do many things together. Even when the budget is too tight we can always walk in a park , play a game of chess... stuff like that.
It helps, I guess, that our interests are similar and that we enjoy doing things together :)
As for holding hands and stuff like that, sure. We still do. However it might be because we're both affectionate the same way. Some people don't touch much just because they're not the touchy feely kind of people.

Hello vanities,
I still watch movies together with my husband but just at home rather than at the cinema. We seldom go out in fact unless we need to get something done and it is normally during weekends. We are very busy that we seldom have time to spend together during weekdays but we make it a habit to have dinner together almost everyday and have a chat before going to sleep.

I can't even remember the last time we went "out" together. He's never really been much of a movie watcher, so I usually do that alone at home. The most we've ever done together, is going out for dinner. We haven't went out for dinner for five or six months I'd say. I'm usually busy here at home with my daughter, and he's working, so by the end of the day we are both wore out and ready for bed! Maybe when our daughter gets a little older (and I can bare going out without her) we can go out for dinner or a movie.

27 years is like wow!
We’ll be completing 12 years this April and we love doing things together. As it is with home and office and a child, we rarely have any time for each other except maybe the Saturday evening and Sunday. We are not very extroverts and with everything becoming so expensive, we cant really afford to go to the movies and do things. So we stay home and chat and discuss life, fight and make-up, watch TV, order dinner thru home delivery and make love.

the answer for your question is yes! I and my wife still go out together once a month to watch movie. We do not think that marriage will stop our fun activities. other than watching movie once a month I also bring my wife out for dinner once a week. We enjoy our life just like before.

Me and my boyfriend watched just about two weeks ago. We watched Watchmen (which we didn't really like, by the way)
We usually watch movies almost every other week. Well.. It actually depends if there's a good movie on. But we do love watching movies on HBO when we hang out at home. :)
And yes, we still hold each other's hand a lot. :)

Oh yes! I still watch movies together with my girlfriend or with my friends. We like to watch movies together and then discuss about them. I like to watch movies together only if the person who stays with me is very interested in what we are watching because i hate when my friends continue to talk during the movie! Don't u agree?

I think that is fantatastic. I have only been married for 6 years and have been with him for 13 years but we always go out at least once a week for date night. We would love it to be more but we have 2 small sons, so its hard. We do always hold hands and we always snuggle. I think having 2 small children, it could be very easy to forget about your spouse because your so preoccupied with the kids, but Having date night makes you remember your love for each other. Good for you still going out on dates. I love to hear that especially after 27 years.
