 | Husbands, WivesWhen Did You Go on Your Last Date?Posted Sunday, October 21st, 2007 and visited 589 times, 2 so far today by MInTheGap |
So, we finally got a night out this past Friday– and it had been so long that we weren’t quite sure what to do or what we could afford.
When’s the last time that you’ve been out on a date with just your spouse?
You know, we had no trouble doing this when we were engaged or dating– and when we go with another couple it just isn’t the same! There’s no intimate conversation, you spend time talking about things you have in common (which usually ends up being the kids).
When did you go on your last date? If it’s been too long perhaps it’s time to schedule another!

Um, um, um…..I can’t remember.
We did go to a Casting Crowns concert a couple of weeks ago, but that was with another couple. I think our last date might have actually been on our anniversary back in June. Time to schedule a date!

We went on a date last weekend (the 13th)… for our 7th anniversary.
We had a nice walk to the restaurant (don’t have a car here, and it was a nice night) and had an amazingly good dinner. Aside from the “chains” in Hong Kong (Outback, Tony Roma’s), it was the best dinner we’ve ever eaten overseas.
Shaved salmon appetizer, and we each had steaks, and then we did our annual “State of the Union” assessment. Each year, on our anniversary date, we do a “checkup” on our marriage. We talk through various areas of our marriage:
how are we doing in communication?
intimacy?
parenting?
are we still working as a team?
is there anything I can do to serve you better in any of these areas?
is there anything you need that you’re not getting from me?
And we also do the “year in review” thing… talking about the high and low points of the last year. And just generally processing how things are going in our marriage. I love anniversary dates; it’s always extra-special to talk through all these things together.
Wow, I need to blog about this! Thanks for the prompting!!!

It’s scary to think about just how infrequently we get together alone where that’s all we could think about before we were married.
Glad I encouraged you to get out and date, Lynnae!
Jess, what a terrific post, and what a great thing to do on a date– just as long as you get to do some more lighthearted stuff as well!

Hmmm…well I guess we have lunch together most days during the week, but we’re at work so I don’t think it totally counts. The last time we went to dinner and a comedy show was August 24. We are actually trying to find time to schedule our 3rd dinner date (in 8 months) but there doesn’t look like any free weekend between now and Christmas!!
