Do you still go out and have a date with your spouse?

im 2 years married and expecting a baby few months from now. This is one of my fears, once we've got children, i hope and pray that when the time comes that we are both busy with our work and our children, we would still have our quality time together.

My hubby is working abroad but everytime he is around we make sure that we go out on a date once a week. We watch movie eat lunch or dinner outside without our kids. That is our bonding time because when we go out with kids we usually dont have time to talk to each other its always a family discussion.

Ideally, my husband and I want to be able to go out at least once a week. But there are times when we really have to work harder since we are trying to make ends meet so sacrifices have to be made. So instead of going out, we will sacrifice our date for the sake of the opportunity to earn some income for our family. Sometimes, we do not have the budget to go out on dates, so we would just go out to our street and walk around while we talk. Basically, we should put importance in spending time to talk to each other, not about the kids or the finances, but about us, about our dreams in life.

My ex and I went out when my daughter was 2 for the first time since she had been born. The date cost us about $80 when you added up the food, movie, gas and cost of a sitter. We fought the whole time so it just wasent any fun. I dont think we ever went on a date again and we were together for 3 years after that.

well, i have been married for seven months now but we havent got any baby around. that s why we still have much time together. though we both are busy but on the weekends we definitely spend our time going outside just to watch movies, have romantic dinner and to travel out of town...

we usually have date without a plan. we make it with differently type of date so we are not get bored. we try to build our romantic moment since our daily life is already full of routine life with the date. i think, it is compulsory having a date with our spouse to build the romantic time like when the time before married.

i see nothing wrong with going out with your husband on a date. my husband and i do that every once in a while.

We never really went out on dates in the first place. We occasionally do something special, but we're together a lot of the time anyway and we don't have the means to go out just the two of us.

hi johan I am widowed but when our children were little my husband made it a thing that all of us go out for dinner every friday night, He got paid then too so that also helped.And sometimes we enlisted my mom to babysit our two and we would have a real date night just us too. At first I drove my hubby nuts as i would call every forty five minutes to ask if the kids were okay. but once I began to just relax we talked each others ears off. kid, work, the hospital, name it , we both had worked the same place but I quit at nine months, and since I got pregnant again while my son was still a baby I had to stop nursing him as I was pregant again.But we would go out to a pizza place one week, to this Arabian cafe another time and to this Medieval caste cafe with a real man dressed in armour walkiing this e3normous white horse back and forth in front of this huge white medieval looking house which was the cafe of cou rse. needless to say even back then at twenty dolllars a plate we only did this maybe once a month.I was just thinking we never had any problems with either one of our children not behaving in a cafe or restaurant as we took them out fairly often . So they became used to goin out to eat and at behaving well when in public like that. I grew up with this thing of my younger sister always misvehaing when we went out to eat, and myh mom all upset, and my dad spanking her. He was very rigid and never could see that the wa y he handled her was just making it worse. she was angry at himfor hurting her, see she was retarded with birth damage. I do not think she really understood why he and mom were upset with herShe was very retarded and I think he was treating her like he thought she was an ordinary five year. She did not have that much mentality then.But anyway I had told my hubby about the ugly scenes when eating out with my family.So we started when our two were young,and surprisingly they seldom ever misbehaved in public. They seemed to enjoy our weekly outings.Johna get someone to babysit occasionslly and go out on real dates, its surprising how much fun and how relaxed it makes you too.

I'm about to get married and my partner and I have been in a long distance relationship for 5 years. So we basically did not have many dates, but we spent time together on Skype everyday whenever we are far away from each other. I hope we will still be the same when we are married and that we will be able to go for a date since we will be already together. Maybe it will be a bit more difficult when we have kids, but we will be ready for that as best as we can.

when i can find a sitter, we hit a restaurant and a movie. this is a rare occurance, but I love it. We allow talk of our child, but money is off limits. It is great to re connect, especially when our lives are so busy.

Not married but I have been dating my boyfriend for over four years and it seems as if we're married. We go out on dates once in a while :)
