I told him he was just special That is what life is about.... special times make memories.

We still do date nights and I love it! I am like you Jenn, in that I am a practical person, so flowers are out for me. We usually go out to eat or on the rare occasion we'll see a movie. I also enjoy going hiking at the camp where we got married so we do that when the weather is nice. I love when my hubby surprises me with things like that.

My husband brings me a bouquet of flowers almost every week. This week it was pink and white carnations. I love to garden, and he knows how much I miss the flowers in the winter, so this is to cheer me up. In exchange, I will bake him a cake or pie or cookies, which he loves.
He just retired, and I am realizing just how precious our time together can be.
Not to say that everything has always been wine and roses, we've had our rough patches, but boy, we rode them out, and I am glad. It's so important to keep things interesting and alive.
Our little Yorkies sure help to keep us laughing.

We still have date nights. It used to be once a week, but with things being hectic it's usually once or twice a month, sometimes more. We like to eat out, go to movies, take a trip, go window shopping, etc.

that is wonderful thanks for sharing

DH and I have "date night" every friday night. We usually go out to eat at one of our favorite restaurants, maybe go shopping afterward (although we don't always buy stuff) and will usually rent a movie to watch at home. It sounds very routine...but we always love doing it. On the Friday's that my daughter is not with her father, we do stuff with her. we always have fun

I am glad to see that there are still several people who do this! I think it is a great way to reconnect w/ our spouses...even if things are great in the marriage, the hussle of life sometimes puts everything else on hold....so even if it is just a walk in the park or something, it is a great refresher!!!

I hope that when i am married that me and my husband keep doing date nights, etc.
