Candle Light Dinner

For em it is nice but in my life not done.

It has been so long since I have had a candle lit dinner with my husband. I can't even remember when we did last. We hardly get anytime along these days but it is because we have a son to take care of which I have no regrets about it or anything we just make due with what we have.

i agree that it would be nice to have one too. me and my husband are always looking for new romantic ideas to try out to help strengthen our relationship and keep it new and exciting. i should suggest that we do that one night. maybe for valentine's day (which i just realized is pretty close by) but anyway i have never had one with him or anyone else...not unless eating dinner by candlelight when the power goes out alone counts lol.

I confess that I never had a romantic diner with my husband in all the years we were married. But I think romance is not only candlelight. Our normal diner before the girls grew up and had their own homes was to sit around the table and everyone told each other what had happened during the day. We didn´t have (and I don´t now that I live alone) a TV set in the dining room or in the living room. In my house there´s no room for one in the kitchen either so the only one is in my bedroom. We prefered to talk, work side by side (some times in silence) to watch too much TV. About romantic things: He once wrote me a love letter after 30 years of marriage while we were going through an awful time (he was very ill and we had big money problems). He said there that he could do ANYTHING with me by his side. He did. When he was dying, I told him that even when I most hated him, I loved him. And added that being with him had been the best thing that had happened to me in my life. He understood. I could write until my fingertips disappeared about romantic things with no candlelight or music. I must confess that he was pityful when he sang on the shower and had no sense of rythm so I stopped dancing when I started going out with him. So I listened to my music when he was not around and chose those moments when he was immersed in a soccer game. Take care of your hubby, dear, ever if there´s no candlelights!

I feel like the lukiest girl alive as my boyfriend does this for me quite often. He and I both were married to someone else before, so I feel he really wants to preserve our relationship as we have been living together for five years now and he amazes me from time to time with candle light dinners. The dinners are not big deals but he sets up the mood so that we can romantically enjoy an evening so I give him a great deal of credit each time he has done this as it certainly makes me cherish the time I have been with him.
