Default Re: spending time together

We spend every evening together, and most of every weekend. Our kids are grown tho, so that isn't an issue.

What do we do?
Go out for a margarita and nachos.

Go for a ride on the motorcycle.

Work in the yard (He works, I watch... not sure why but he likes it this way, and my brown thumb doesn't help much anyway!)

Play around on the internet (in the living room, so together...sharing stuff we see or things people say or news stories)

Eat dinner together.

Watch a movie (or Law & Order!)

Visit with various kids.

Go visit friends.

Have friends over.

Sit out back and just enjoy the company and talk, talk, talk...

Go to bed early and have wild monkey sex.

Go to bed late and have wild monkey sex.

*Edited to add: With my ex, we spent NO time together. I hated it. No talking, no wild monkey sex... and not for lack of trying on my part. THIS life is way better than that one was!

Sunny: Think y'all are doing things right! And as they say in most business circles, "don't mess with success!" My hat is off to you two!

A couple should spend at least 15 hours a week together, just the two of you, doing date-like things.

Hmm... we spend most of our free time together doing whatever needs to be done, whatever we want to do, and just having fun.

We watch television, have family time, do yard work, go shopping, visit with friends, play poker or pool tournaments, go boating, talk about things we saw on the news or what happened during our day, feed the animals, take scenic drives, eat our meals... just, whatever.
