I never do, and it's my fault... work, lack of funds etc. I need to start doing this.

I think we're going to start doing the "walk" thing too. It's great to get out of the house and talk especially before the winter starts to kick in-- then it's back to Scrabble and DVD's

I'm not sure I'd call it dates, but we do go out of the house together about once a week. It might just be to an inexpensive dinner, or it might be to go explore a part of town we've never checked out before (we're new to the area) and window shopping. Lately we work out together on the weekend, or take a walk, because he has a hard time juggling work demands, time with me, and fitness - so we combine the latter two.

One of the favorite "dates" my wife and I like to do is walk through open houses. Plus it's cheap!

We knew we were 'really married' when we found the highlight of our time out the other week was discovering a new grocery store that we liked, that carried some things I'd been looking unsuccessfully for. Luckily they had a Starbucks, so we could walk through sipping a drink!

My husband and I go out at least once a week, on the weekend. During the work week everything seems so rush rush, I'm constantly watching the clock because I know we have to be in bed early to start the cycle all over again so we pretty much have a routine those days. But after a long week at work it is nice to unwind on the weekend with some outing! I definitely think it keeps the spark alive and us feeling the joy of each others companionship just like we did when we were dating and not worrying about a mortgage and all the other stresses of life. I don't have children yet, but I hope that when we do we can still preserve this time alone together ;)
