alone time for us is a foreign word to us, you see we have 4 kids, i don't even get to sleep a full 8 hrs a night. our alone time comes either late at night or early in th morning if you know what i mean.... late at night like maybe sat. we will go and take a shower together, just because it is intimacy for us. as far as going out alone we never do, if i can't take the kids out with us we don't go they deserve some out time as well.

We don't have kids yet, but we work a lot and usually opposite hours (I go to work as soon as he gets home), so the most time we spend together is usually when we're sleeping...lol. But it's still rather nice to have "us" time. We try not to go out too often, though. Maybe once a month we go out for dinner alone together to McDonalds or something, but most of our "us" time is spent cuddling in front of the tv or just talking and catching up. ^_^ It's a lot better than going out anywhere.

Not nearly enough! We haven't been out together in a year or better, but are planning on something soon to celebrate an anniversay. Hopefully it really happens! If not, I'll be completely bummed. We've been married almost 10 years and have 2 kids... so I guess that's what happens.

we're always together and always stick to other no matter what. we're best buddies and share the same likes and dislikes. we frequently go to malls and watch movies before. now that we have a kid, it's always threesome on other stuffs.

We don't get out alone very often either if @ all. My in-laws would watch my 3 from time to time but in the past yr they have both become ill w/ cancer and are having enough troubles of their own functioning & they were the only ones we could trust to watch them. So now we have to wait til SIL2 comes into town & beg her to watch them so we can get out. Sad thing is last time she only gave us 2 whole hrs we had no idea what to do with ourselves it had been so long *lol*

HAHAHAHA....that is too funny! What is alone? My husband and I have been together for ten years and have two kids together therefor we don't know what alone time means either. Any time that we may be able to get alone we are usually so exhausted that we just sack out and relax.

I think that is nice and all married couples should make times for each other, esoecially when there are still children in the house. We can get caught up in the trials of eveyday life and sometimes forget to remember the people who are important to us and spending time with them. Have fun on your dates and don't do anything I wouldn't do..lol flutterby

We don't have kids yet, so we try to go out alone as often as possible. But we can't go out much in the past few months due to the rainy season and my mom's health condition, but we spend our evenings at home watching TV, cooking together, or just talking about anything instead.
