I have several restuarant.com certificates that I am yet to redeem for one reason or another. <br />My husband and I have been talking about doing more date nights so thanks for the tips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-75409282318076820972009-11-12T06:36:11.904-08:002009-11-12T06:36:11.904-08:00You hit the nail on the head. The most important t...You hit the nail on the head. The most important thing is "the pact." We have a date night every two weeks (as that is all we can afford right now; coupons or not). We live about 35 miles from the closest....well, anything, so oftentimes gas is a consideration into our expenses. However, we like to make date night more of an afternoon. <br /><br />For instance, we go to Barnes & Noble and pick up a stack of magazines that we would never be able to buy, get a coffee drink (splurge) and talk, laugh, share pictures, etc. It always brings about a dream conversation in which we describe to each other our dream kitchen or our dream vacation or something. There is so much connection in hearing the other person's dreams. We then follow that up with a run by Red Box (movie rental...check 'em out online if you don't know about them), get a new release and finish the evening with a movie at home. <br /><br />We don't have kids so that is never a problem or consideration but because my wife is a stay-at-home farm wife it is important to take her out of the house and because I work at a computer it is important for me to connect through conversation!anotherkindofdrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975933889977643352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-18829438517120730922009-11-12T06:33:57.441-08:002009-11-12T06:33:57.441-08:00I'll have to check out those restaurant coupon...I'll have to check out those restaurant coupons! Thanks for the tip! We don't have the luxury of babysitters... but we split a Ben & Jerry's icecream each Friday night when the kids go to bed and watch a movie together. And on Saturday mornings we do a "family date" and do something fun with the kids. I love the weekend!Rachelhttp://quirkymomma.comnoreply@blogger.com
