I know that I would rather have lunch with my husband than dinner for two reasons. Number one; I am trying to control my weight and lunch portions are smaller.....and cheaper. Number two; I find the lunch to be more enjoyable when I can wear my new shoes and matching handbag I bought with the money I saved on lunch over dinner!! :) He did want me to comment that it is important to have dinner and "a few glasses of wine" every so often. Usually that results in another child nine months later.........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-24592372793208005872008-01-24T21:22:00.000-06:002008-01-24T21:22:00.000-06:00My husband and I spend a lot of time apart due to ...My husband and I spend a lot of time apart due to his job, so when he is around, we try to have weekly dates. Sometimes we also hang with friends, but when we can, we get our friends to "practice" being parents with our son. It's hard though, because I work a 'regular' job, while his requires lengthy travel. <BR/><BR/>Also, while we do not tend to have matching sleep schedules, we do try to go to bed together and spend the quiet time talking and snuggling...even with baby in bed with us. <BR/><BR/>When he is in the country, I sometimes go to work early, so I can leave early, and then we go pick up our son from daycare at the "regular" time, so we have a couple of hours to ourselves first.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I chose dinner (or lunch) over a movie, because I prefer to have the time to interact and talk with my husband. We also enjoy going to sporting events together.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783085707283000645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-16851347041463628292008-01-24T16:43:00.000-06:002008-01-24T16:43:00.000-06:00Anonymous, That is a funny suggestion to me.
