Do you still "date" in your marriage?

I think it takes two to keep that spark flying! We dated for 10 years, 1.5 years engagement, now married 2 months. The spark has not diminished at all. We love to travel the world together and eat at restaurants overlooking the Mediterranean, but we also love going for a bike ride through our little neighborhood and having a sandwich picnic. I think it’s all about balance 🤍🤍🤍

We have 8 kids currently expecting number 9. we have movie nights with just us once a week we let the kids go down early and my fiancé picks up something to eat and we watch a movie and just cuddle no interruption from kids just time for us to relax and kick back. and than about once every 2 months my mom takes all the kids besides our youngest for the weekend.

We have been together since the end of 2011, engaged in 2017 and getting married in 2021. Before the pandemic, we would do what we called, Friday Night Date Night... which included walking around Target, drinking Starbucks and sometimes dinner. Because of COVID, we find ourselves having date nights at home, watching old movies, having a drink or two or other nights, walking the dog extra long and being goofy. We just recently came back from Lake Tahoe and have agreed that we need to do more long weekend trips. I think it is so important to have time alone, enjoying each other. We don't have kids yet, but once we do, we will continue to have a night just for us.

Yes, absolutely! We enjoy spending time together, so we do so as often as possible. We don't have kids yet, so scheduling that time isn't as important since we naturally spend time together often. However, I imagine that purposefully scheduling that time may be more important once children are in the picture. My husband is my best friend, as cheesy as it sounds, so we try to talk/hang out pretty much every day. Pre-COVID we enjoyed going out to restaurants and stuff, but Covid has kind of put a damper on that. Now we'll cook together or order in and want a movie or tv/talk. Sometimes we'll go for walks.

Still engaged, but yes we plan to date while married.

We usually take a yearly cruise but COVIDs put a damper on that. We spend a lot of time together, dinners out once a week. My fiancé is a firefighter, working 48 hrs on & 96 hrs off. We have our intimacy schedule too. That’s important too!

View Quoted Comment Absolutely! Kicking back with just your partner every once in a while is the best.

View Quoted Comment I love it, keep on💫

View Quoted Comment I have a best friend as a fiancé too, it’s so not cheesy! They’re our life partners, they might as well be our best friends too lol.

View Quoted Comment Same here !

View Quoted Comment I hear that! Absolutely, that’s apart of the spark.

We do - though right now it's based around the newest drop of GBBO or Star Trek: Discovery!

Still, we try to make that an bit of an evening, just to do something nice.

Been together three years and married for 6months. We do weekly date nights-could be a night out or even netflix and chill; we love the poconos and love to travel so about every 4 months or so we rent an air bnb and go. We are going to North Carolina our next trip. Also we remain intimate and if it's a busy week we plan our intimacy. Trying new things or even spontaneity lol

Absolutely! We have the second weekend of the month reserved for whatever we want to do to date each other. It gives us the chance to take a mini vacation, go to dinner, movies, or just stay home together and not worry about anything but strengthening our relationship.

We still have date nights. Before Covid, we would go out to dinner, go see a movie, go to local events, do a paint and sip, go on weekend getaways, etc. We still do some of these things that are allowed during Covid. But we also just have nice dinner dates at home. My wife also randomly surprises me with flowers every few weeks .

We've been dating for almost 7 years and are still just as in love as we were when we first started dating! It takes both people in a relationship to keep the spark going, and if one person isn't feeling that from the other, it's always important to communicate that.

We both make it a point to spend time with one another when we get home from work. Our routine is, get home, gym (on gym days), cook dinner together, sit down and watch an episode or two of our current show we're on! (right now it's The Great British Baking Show) We also try to limit phone use while we're together. Since we both work 7-4, 8-5 jobs, we want to make sure we give each other as much attention as possible when we're together!

We try and plan weekends for just us. Usually we're extremely busy on the weekends and running around, but when we aren't, we like to relax at home and cuddle on the couch being little couch potatoes lol. We're an easy going couple, so we don't need to go to a fancy dinner to consider it a date, BUT we do plan to have at least one nice date every now and then!

Yes, buuuuuut we can work on that. We’ve fallen into a routine, and Covid hasn’t helped. Over Thanksgiving we’ll spend a play date walking around Lake Arrowhead and doing lunch there. We always feel GREAT attending outdoors and exploring places we don’t visit or are new. So excited. 🌲 🦌 🦅

We’ve been together for 6 years and getting married next year, but yes we still do this! Although this year looks different, an example of something he did recently for me was he took a day off work, we grabbed some sandwiches from our favorite local deli and took them to a park with our dog and had a little picnic. Then we just drove around the town after looking at houses and different historical buildings. That night he made a reservation for us to have dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. We take turns doing stuff like this for each other but we absolutely still do it and plan to throughout our marriage!
