I love my husband. We have been together for 14 years now and out of those 4, we have been married for 5. I am very excited because April 23 is our 5 year wedding anniversary and I can't wait. We are getting my parents to take the girls for the night and that means that we finally get some alone time. I am very happy that we have been together for so long. My husband is so much more than just a husband, he is my soul mate, my lover and my best friend. I don't know what I would do without him, and I hope that I never have to find out. Since it is our 5th year anniversary I would like to do something special with him, while the kids are out of the house but I have no idea what to do. We don't want to spend a lot of money so it makes it a little hard to come up with something good. I thought that the best thing I could do would be to ask everyone here. What do you think that I should do? Do you think that we should go out? Or should we stay at home and take advantage of the fact that the kids aren't going to be in the house (wink, wink)? Let me know what you think.

First off, congratulations, CRIVAS! During times such as these where relationships are so often fleeting, it's good to hear of the solid ones. I will think of you on this important day as I celebrate my 65th birthday. I am a hopeless romantic, and to me you won't find a better place to spend some quality alone time than right at home with your love. I like the idea of a nice candlelight dinner for two; soft music playing in the background; and just expressing your love for one another. So, put on somehting sexy and do your thing!

Thanks Worldwise 1. And I would like to say Happy Birthday. I too am a hopeless romantic and I love the idea of staying in and pampering ourselves. I know that there are also a lot of people telling me that we should go out and have fun, but in truth I believe that I would be happier at home with my hubby.

i will have to congratulate you first i pray that you and your husband have many more years ahead in jesus name amen. you shall see your great grand children. for your question i will say a change will be very good. you can look for a cheap hotel and let them know you are celebrating your 5th marriage anniversary and let them spoil both of you. good luck

First I would like to say thank you for your prayers. I appreciate it very much. Second of all I think that a hotel would be nice except that we don't want to do anything that requires us to spend a lot of money. It is something that I will have to look into. Thanks again.

Having all the characters you have mentioned inside one person is so great and so wonderful,you are very lucky that you got a husband from heaven. Well with you in him is already enough but to have something to always remind him of you being around give him I love you note that will flash on his cellphone or maybe a ring tone for that matter.

Why not go dating, it does not mean that you spend a lot when you go out for a date, you are celebrating your anniversary and we are talking here once in every year, occasional, not everyday so you should make it memorable. Money is easily obtain but the memories are very hard to accumulate. Good luck!

that's so cute. i didn't have a good marriage, it was a mess, we are separated now. i will pray for you both to have a longer lasting marriage. i hope to meet the right person after my ex and i become annulled. i am living in the Philippines and there is no divorce in my country, i hope that someday, there will be divorce also in my country because the family code is a bit biased i think...my son is living with me now. i kinda envy u... :) but i know that God will give me the right person if i am ready for him...

I am so hapyp for you that you have been together 14 years and are still so very happy. My husband and I were together for 8 years before we split up. I dont remember what my husband and I did specifically for our 5th wedding anniversary but I imagine we did the usual and took the kids out with us to eat dinner somewhere. We had one more anniversary after that before we split up if I remember right. I think you could bake him a delicious cake and rent a romantic movie & stay in. That wouldnt cost to much and would be really sweet.

Hi. CRIVAS. I think that you both should go out to a very romantic restaurant and afterwards, you should go back to your house. I hope that whatever you both do choose, it will be meaningful, fun, lovely and memorable. Happy fifth anniversary to you and to your husband! Enjoy your anniversary celebration!

I think a change of scenery would be best because you've been living in that place for years. Excitement will build up if you're in a different place. Anyway, just my two cents.

Well Franne32 I think that you might be on to something. And Flagaz, I don't think that Franne meant that I should move, I think she just meant that we should spend the day somewhere new. I think it is a good idea, thanks for the idea. I'll have to consider it.

While I do believe that laughter is the best medicine, this is kind of a special day for us and I am not sure that is the way that I want to go. But thank you so very much for the thought.
