Married couples: Do you still date your wife/husband?

Hello staria, yes, I do have time to date my husband. Although not as sweet as we were lovers then. We only go for a date to talk some matters we do not like to discuss in our house. Sometimes it is for recreation purposes. We go somewhere we think is good for us and our children. Sometimes we do it alone, without our children as we wanted to be together alone.

yes, I think we should still date our partners as often as we can. Sadly for us,they are a bit far in between but we also appreciate those times better now I think.

hello, yes we still date. This is a way for a relationship to grow stronger. Not a week passes by that we do not go to the mall or some place where we could relax and have a break fron all the problems of life.

The best 'dates' I've ever had with my husband came after we were married. We had, 'dates' that cost absolutely nothing, did not involve a trip to any place, nor a walk, just a few minutes of time, often just prior to going to bed, because it was the quiet time, and for this type of date one needs quiet time... One of us would turn to the other, offer a hug and then say..."Dream with me..." We'd tell each other of our most current hopes for our future, for our children, what we might want to do when the children were grown and gone...sometimes these dreams were practical day to day things, such as, 'when the kids are gone I want to take a long peaceful bath' or the not so practical, such as, 'I want to build a house with a bathroom for each person and two for company', of course there were dreams and still are that are simply not meant to be shared with other than my husband. Point is that too often we forget that we too have hopes and dreams, some of them are individual, some are dreams of couples. We need to dream, and dreaming together brings a husband and wife closer together in mind and heart.

Am not married but been asking my married friends if they still date. The common answer is NO. I don't know why, but it seems they are more engrossed to working and tending the kids that they forget that aspect in life.. Oh well..

for me, it is still important to treat each other as if you were still on the stage of being boyfriend and girlfriend..it is important to still let the fire burning because it could help strengthen your relationship as a couple. love each other just like the first time you've met..

my husband and i try and do date night at least once a month. i think it's important for couples to spend that kind of time together. i love it

If I may. I will always date my wife. But I have no wife to date. This is a good thing to date our wife to stay in a warm relationship which is lasted forever

We do go out on our own sometimes but not as often as we should. Yes, life does get in the way. Finding babysitters for the children or trying to get out during the day while they are at school can be tough at times and there are always things that need doing or things that need paying more urgently. As we work from home, we do get out on our own sometimes during the day, but it is hard to have a relaxing time when we have to rush off to get the kids from school or to go back to work. Still, it is nice when we do get out and it should become easier to do as the kids get older and we can leave them at home alone longer.

I have been very busy from last 1 months and did not go out with my wife. I am looking forward to go out with my wife sometime.

Yes we date all the time. But we are country people. We just do everything together anyway...weather it's a movie or a fishing trip.

No money, no date. Financially, we cannot afford to have once or twice a month date, no way but i love to have a date even once a month, I'd like to bring the memories before when we are still single, i love that. We go out every Saturday evening but with our 2 kids but not a date but going to churc As a married couple, we are happy the way what we are doing. Make it our Creator, the center of everything, He will make the difference in our struggling period. A lot of dates happening in every country but I noticed some Filipinos has all the time (always) to have a date at least once a month but upon arriving in their home, what is waiting for them? Eat dried fish, sardines, mackerel together with your kids, that's crazy date, kids first before you go to a date. Go to a date as long as you have the money, i love to see a dad and mom holding together in a park or in a mall even they are old already.

Of course we need to have a date with our spouses, though we are already married and always see each other everyday every minute in the house but being on a date with your spouse is a different thing, it is a way taking care of your love to each other reminiscing what you are doing when you are still lovers and or just keeping your love alive. Before my husband and i got married we talk about it, on how we could make our relationship grow stronger even when we are married so we agreed on to have a scheduled date once a week and so far inspite of the routines we are doing daily and taking care of our 5month old baby,we were doing great on having our date... I think it should be done to every couple, and husband should still court their wife even after for how many years of staying together...

Yes and I frequently bring her out not just during the love month but I always make sure that I bring her out for a date at least once or twice a month. I find it relieving and beneficial for our relationship since I learn to love her today better than yesterday.

Yes! Dating needs not stop just because we are already married or just because we are too busy. No one could be busy if want to do something. So if we wanna date, we can always find time. I and my husband always find time to date at least twice a month and during special occasions such as wedding anniversary, birthday, valentines day and any day we find special for us. That is one way to keep the romance going actually.

Yes Staria! Hello! It is a "must" in my life. I try to get him to the movies, once a month. (At least) Or he invites me for lunch... what you say is really true. We have too much things on the daily routine that may blow the love´s flame! Blessings! ... Dainy

Couple should date each other to maintain the relationship stronger. Yes, I would date my partner to develop warm and warm relationship to avoid any discouragement...between the two of us

Going out with the wife is a very important thing. Makes life more fun. I also bring her flowers or small, inexpensive gifts from time to time. It is a must to do a lot of stuff together, even with all the daily routine.

No. I'm afraid we don't date anymore. It's just because my husband's always busy at work and I alone take care of my three kids, ages 4,3 and 1. I guess we just didn't have the time for it. But now that you've mentioned it, I think it's high time we MAKE time for it, right?

I always date my partner. Come to think of it, thanks for reminding me. I think i should date my wife. LOL
