Romantic Advice: Date Your Wife
|
|
I have been with the woman of my dreams for almost twelve years now and we have a family with two small kids, one of the things that people should never forget is that you should forever continue the “woo” phase of the relationship. Never stop showing what your partner means to you with gestures, words and other ways. It doesn’t have to be lavishly expensive, I coined the phrase “Woo on a budget” meaning you show expression without spending large sums of money (but if you have the money don’t be cheap either, nobody likes a miser).
One of the things I intend to do far more frequently is to date my wife, take her out on the town at least a few times a month where the kids can be watched by Grandma and we just have private alone time with us to talk and share each others company without the kids running around, the noise and distraction of daily life. I suggest everyone try this more often, it is easy to date when you are single or in your early years, and gets harder when you have children, jobs and all the stresses that come with it all.
One thing to note, leave cell phones and blackberry’s at home or set them to silent. Nothing kills a romantic evening like SMS messages flying back and forth and somebody checking their phone constantly while trying to engage in conversation over dinner. Never forget to show the love in your life just how special they are to you, I know I will never take my woman for granted and I have committed to showing her every chance I get what she means to me and how much I adore her.
Sometimes relationships can become “stale” or “complacent” and it takes some effort to break the monotony of daily routine, show some spark, fire and passion with some gestures that are unexpected and come at random times. It really will benefit your relationship as a whole.

Sounds like very good advice! You must be a good husband and I bet your wife appreciates you very much. Gerard and I really need to do more fun things together more often.

You are so very right. I have been married for 13 years and have four children. It is SO easy to get content in your life and that is just not enough. You are setting up your relationship for disaster. I have been guilty of it but we have worked on keeping the romance alive and the relationship and whole family benefit from it. I have realized you are robbing yourself when you don’t *date* your spouse and really spend good quality romantic time together. I mentioned to my husband recently that we are the foundation of our entire family. If we don’t keep US taken care of, the whole thing will collapse. He whole heartedly agreed.

Good for you!! Don’t ever take for granted your relationship. Even if you do nothing but drive to a park, sit on a bench and just talk. Remember old times, little things. It’s not the quantity, just the quality.

Being female I can say this is spot on. You are one of the good husbands. I have one too. Very well done.
Have a terrific weekend.

My 5 year old son is sooo attached to me that I can’t even go outside the room without him following me. His grandma is reluctant to take care of him when me and the hubby goes out because he’ll be whining for me the whole evening. And me and the hubs don’t have a quiet time because Nana will be calling us every 10 mins to ask us to talk to my son. LOL!
Plus, husband works the graveyard shift. Needless to say, we don’t date much. But it’s a new year, right? I think those are the aspects in our relationship that my husband and I really hope to improve. Especially ever since me and my husband forgot our 5th wedding anniversary last year. We both still feel horrible about it.

I have done my fair share of bad things, but we all try to learn and improve upon ourselves and try to be the best people and spouses we can be.
Our son learned early on that his mom and dad go on vacations, take dates and nights out. He know when we dress up that we are going out for the evening and grandma will watch them. You have to make a point of getting them used to you being gone for a day or two once every few months or they become too dependant.
Try a weekend getaway, no phone except for emergency. Leave lots of activities and new things for your son to do, that way he will connect your nights away with something new and fun for him to do with Grandma or his sitter.
