I really like to look for ways to have spontaneous dates because sometimes those are easier for Matthew and I, but that can be hard as well because then you are trying to find a sitter last minute if you have children like us. So, around 3 pm one day, I thought, "I had a great night sleep last night, and I'm feeling tired now. We could have a date tonight!" One problem, the girls and it was a school night. So, I started trying to think of something for us to do.
I decided to text Matthew so that I could get his suspense up. I asked him if he was up for a late night date. He said that a date would be great, but asked about the girls.
My plan: once girls went to bed, we snuggle on the couch and watch a movie on Netflix. I let him choose the movie. He chose "The King's Speech." I usually don't watch rated R movies, but this one is one worth watching if you like history. It is based on the true story of King George VI of England.
Make this night special:
1. Give your husband just a little bit of info so he will be prepared to stay up late if he is normally an early bird, or to finish things up by the time the kids go to bed if he does work at night at home. 2. Rent a movie if you don't have Netflix. 3. Let him choose the movie so that you are showing interest in something he likes (and don't complain about it!). 4. Plan to have favorite movie snacks.
We really enjoyed our night, but this time, I don't pics!! Who wants to see us sitting on the couch watching a movie? Anyhow, I pray that you and your husband have many great dates that allow you to spend time together.
