Dating your spouse.

  

Why is it that once we get married, we forget what it's like to have that magic that we felt when we were dating?  Remember how excited you got when you were getting dressed and dolled up for a date with your mate?  Remember how you wanted to look and smell your best?  Remember how you planned the entire day around that special 3 or 4 hour evening?  Why not keep that magic going after you say "I do"? 

My husband and I date like we used to in high school.  We get dressed up, smelling good and excited about the events of the evening on date night.  When I was working, we had date night once a month.  It could be dinner, a movie, ice skating, rollerblading together, a night at a local hotel or something else romantic that we would conjure up.  Now that I am not working, we spend many of our date nights at home with one another.  We get a good bottle of wine, a great movie, some popcorn and we turn the lights down and enjoy each other's company. 

You don't have to have a lot of money.  You don't have to leave your home to have a date.  You can even get dressed up for your spouse and prance around the house as if you were going to a fancy restaurant.  Just because funds are limited doesn't mean your partners fantasies are.  They enjoy seeing you in your finest.  They like for you to show off your assets in front of them.  Get off your butt, get creative and take your mate on a date they will never forget.  Remember, if you don't date your spouse, someone else will!

P.S. Each Friday I will post date ideas that are sexy & budget friendly.  Freaky Fridays will be something you DON'T want to miss.  Stay tuned!
