Date Night with Spouse?

[Cupofkindness]

I’d be content with a “Date Walk Around The Block,” since our life has always been too busy for an evening together. Seven kids in twelve years…

Do back to school nights count as a “date”? Our son’s special day school for Autistic children is 47 miles from our home (luckly he loves the bus rides) we will be going out to dinner alone that night afterwards as we been doing it since he’s gone to that school since 1998. I’m actually looking foward to next Wed. because we are alone and can talk during that long car ride.

Yep!!!

Exactly! Or Date Walk Around the Yard! Just keep going around in circles (so you won’t be far from them) and when the neighbors start asking questions, explain to them it’s a Date Night!

In seriousness…you really need a Date Night! Plan it now!

My fiance have spent a lot of time discussing this. His parents never really had that romance, and my parents had a lot of marriage trouble for a long time. One of the things that my parents did was have a date night. We kids are always glad to see them go because it gives us a chance to spend time together messing around and we know that they need the time alone. I have never once felt burdened by the fact that they need time to be husband and wife alone. My fiance and I have agreed that we will have to spend time every day together even if it is only for 10-15 minutes and then every week we should have dinner to ourselves if we can. He suggested that maybe once every month or two we go out someplace nice for dinner and a movie.

Sounds like you received what I believe to be one of the most important gifts that parents can give their children…a stable marriage!

My parents never spent time alone…I mean…you kids go to the sitter, we are out-of-here time.

What a better way to show your children the importance of marriage than letting them see their parents set aside time alone. They may not understand it all when they are really young, but as they get older, they will come to appreciate it more because of the “value” it puts on marriage. Thus taking that “value” with them in their own marriage.

The quantity of the date nights should be weekly. If God knows we need to get to Mass weekly, we probably need to intimately tend to the Sacrament of Marriage weekly too!

I’ve been thinking and I believe this is the best advice I have ever heard. So, to heed the advice…my husband and I have a Date Night at home tonight after the kids are in bed! And will every Saturday night…we made a new rule!

ATTENTION MEN - MARTIAL CHALLENGE

Decide right now, if it has been awhile since you had a Date Night with your wife…get ready for a challenge…

Date Night at Home - tell your wife that you need to go to the store, home improvement store etc. Here’s your list to purchase…
Wine
Cheese
Fruit (Grapes or Strawberries)
Bread (Hard kind) or
Crackers
A Single Flower (Rose would be perfect)
Movie if you like?
**When you get home, tell your wife that tonight is Date Night, after the kids are in bed… watch her mouth drop! **

Date Night Away - Call a babysitter right now! Please have it be the “usual” babysitter…no one new, that will add stress. After getting the sitter lined up…go to her and tell her what time to be dressed. You already decide the place to go…don’t leave nothing up to her…watch her mouth drop!

Good luck!

Only rope attached to this marital challenge is that any children conceived must be named after me…their name can begin with the letter D.
