My Hub's and I will be married 10 years next April. He is the love of my life somehow 4 young children later, we really don't spend any time alone, we have never been on vacation with out the children. I just really want to plan something to show this Man how much I love and appreciate him. What would you do?

Why don't you try to spend a whole day or two with him alone in a place where you two love birds can both enjoy? Remember those times when you were just building dreams of getting married and starting a family? It's not bad that you always bring the kids along when you go on vacation, it only shows how loving you both are to them. But maybe it wouldn't hurt either if you rekindle those memorable nights when you don't think of anything but just him and vice versa. After all, it's your tenth anniversary and you two also deserve a break sometime. Enjoy your date! :-)

That is really sweet of you. You actually do not need to prove your love. I can see that how much care and respect you have for him within yourself. And I think you cannot hide your love for someone, so he must be well aware of your sacrifices and I think also realizes the fact that you both are not getting time for each other. I do not know how old your children are. Perhaps leaving them to their grandma/grandpa would be helpful. Or if they are in there teenage, you can better allow them to have a vacation along with their friends so that you both can better plan out your time with each other.

I am not sure what you should plan but I did want to tell you what my husband and I do. We have date nights at home when the kids are in bed. We have done some things that lotters have suggested... Picnics by candle light in the living room. Romantic movies, and going camping in the living room which was really neat (We put some blankets over a chair and it was our tent, we had smores and candles)! It was really nice! We have three young kids and not a lot of money so this was a great way to have some alone time and date nights! We have never been on a vacation period so I understand trust me.
