amid the ever worsening world
with it's pornography
less than chase standard
and simply amoral beliefs
I have been struck by the need I feel to keep my marriage
healthy
physically speaking
regular dates with my husband are a must
but since we have moved away from family
&
friends
who we allowed to watch our precious little ones
the need has arisen to be creative in our dating
here are some suggestions
for
DATING IN
idea #1:
Dine...in
get the kids REALLY tired during the day, parks, races, and with hold a nap if the need arises
make the kids a simple dinner
while cooking a Divine, delectable dinner for you and your spouse
put the kids to bed an hour early
and
DINE IN
behave as you are on a date..no cells...no text...no email..no phone calls...no bills
idea #2
Dinner & a Movie
if you don't already have a TV in your room ( which is actually better for your marriage)
move on in for the evening
Do idea #1
except put a table cloth on you bed & eat while watching you favorite movie
idea #3
Find the Element of Fun
you remember the song...in every job that must be done find the element of fun
and snap the job becomes a game
If you must iron for the next day
after the babes are sleeping
Iron in your skivies
this can maybe help set a mood......if not it can at least help you not to take your self so serious
idea #4
Couples Yoga
rent a couples yoga video or read a book
idea # 5
Spouse Book Club
have a book club for just the two of you
pick a book that both will enjoy
discuss it with each other weekly
idea #6
the note
write love notes and place in pockets of you husbands jacket/shirt/pants
Please add any suggestions you may have

I have done many of these ideas- my husband does wish I would wash dishes in nothing but it is only a wish- I have really enjoyed the boys being older and so we all go do something- that of course is a turn on- seeing Dad with the kids- so who knows from there!
These are wonderful ideas. I love dining in - we do that a lot. Sometimes, we'll order dinner from our favorite restaurants and dine-in with a movie. No TV in our bedroom, so we set up shop on the floor with pillows, blankets, and snuggle. Oh - and don't forget the making out. Seriously - how fun is making out?
