Do you still go on dates with your husband? Just you and him and without the kids? For me, I still go out with my husband for meals or movies, though not often. Most of the time, we are both so tied up, at work and at home. Once in a while, we will ask my mother to take care of the kids for us, and we will both go on a date. I really enjoy the times when we are together with each other. Just us.

We will go to movies occasionally, but its never a DATE. Its just because hubby wants to see that movie, and I get to go along. I can't remember the last time he and I had a real date. It was probably before I moved in with him.

Well, going on dates with your husband is just one way to maintain the love and passions between both of you. You can also do things together with him, like helping him with some chores. Let him know you are always there for him. That's the point to remember.

We try to go on either lunch dates or at least coffee dates again..for a few yrs we just didnt becuase so much was goin on for us but we've been getting back into it the past couple months and we both really enjoy it...Even if its grabbing a coffee to go and heading out to Home Depot or Lowes to "window shop" and plan out our gardening and home reno plans (we'll be getting back into that this yr now that things have settled down)..On weekends when the kids are away at their friends for sleep overs we even like to have "stay in dates"...we'll run to town and grab steaks and snacks then just hangout in our PJs and get caught up on our shows together or watch a movie and just talk...

I can't remember the last time my husband and I went out alone. We need to do it soon, because it wears on a marriage, not having time alone. We have a date planned for next weekend-- hopefully it works out this time (the last few didn't).

I really want to enjoy it. but my husband never asked me. My children often stayed at my mother's house, but we never used the time for dating. I even wanted to visit friends or relatives' houses are not allowed. to date it is both impossible. I should stay at home to complete all the work.

Hi grace70! It's been a while since my husband and I go on a "real date" But we go out every weekend to buy groceries or mall shopping for house needs. Though it sounded more like a chore, I still consider it as a date because we always have fun whenever we go out together. We can talk about the kids and how our week went, we don't get to do this during weekdays because we're both busy with our jobs. I guess the phrase "It's not where you are but who you're with" still works for us. ^_^

I've been married for almost 2 years with no kids and we're not dating anymore! Before marriage, we would go to the movies, hanging out at coffee joints or watching live bands. Currently we just stay at home during the weekends and do routine stuffs like buying groceries. But we do go travelling twice a year to rekindle our relationship:)

Since we had kids we never had a real date. Yes, we go out on weekends, we shop, we dine, we go to parks and go to supermarkets, but it was not really a date because we always go out as family, bringing all the kids to where ever we wish to go. Anyway, all the times that we went out with kids are cherished moments for us 'coz we consider them bonding moments since everybody is busy with own stuffs on weekdays.
