What Do You like to Do with Your Hubby?

What kind of fun, free things do you do with your hubby?

We were playing a video game together last night and I asked him how many other couples he thought play video games together. He said...ask a question on your mama website! We are not gamers...we just love to play Call of Duty together (I think I missed my calling as a sniper!). And don't worry...our daughter is no where near the TV when we play this game! It's usually after she has gone to bed! We also love to watch Top Gear...it's a car show on BBC...it's hilarious! We love it! And then there is college football Saturdays in our house. You can probably tell by those things that I was raised a tomboy!

I'm just curious as to what kinds of things other wives like to do with their husbands.

I love to go shopping with him. He can get very indulgent and say things like "honey, that looks really good on you, you should get that" to things that I would NEVER consider just buying for myself. Unfortunately, we don't go shopping together too often...

We walk 4 miles together 3 times a week (fast). I love having that time to talk, and I worry about his heart because of family history, so it makes me feel good to know we're doing something healthy together.

We watch Men of a Certain Age and Parenthood and then talk about the episodes. Love both of those shows!

We love going to open houses in expensive neighborhoods. :)

Yard work. I hate doing it alone, but love doing it together.

Dancing. My husband is a great dancer, and he manages to make me feel like a good dancer, too.

Reading and discussing what we read. I know it sounds boring, but I'm an English teacher, so I love doing this. Fortunately I married a man who loves to read. :)

We play Parcheesi and Uno on the weekend nights, sometimes Ping Pong. We drink (gasp) get a little sloppy, turn up the ipod too loud and dance in the kitchen. We have a blast!

Every Sunday night my hubby and I put our daughter to bed and we sit down and watch the shows we've DVR'd over the week. We also try to sit down once a week and watch a movie after our kid goes to bed. It's nice to have time for us and it usually end up us laughing and talking rather then watching.
One of our favorite things to do is to try and find as many continuity errors as we can when we're watching TV or a movie. It's an oddity of ours :)

We lay in the grass, me inside the circle of his arms, and stargaze. He was really into astronomy as a child and it carried over into his adult life. We stargazed on our honeymoon, actually. We just love it.

We cook together, making really elaborate dishes that I'd never put the effort into when I was alone.

When someone can stay with the kids, we like to go see live music. Opera/symphony/classical style. We dress up fancy, go to a restaurant and then the music.

We shower together. Sometimes the only alone time we can get is in the shower. The kids know that when Mommy and Daddy go into the bathroom, they are to LEAVE us ALONE. I love when he washes my hair.

We play tennis, or badminton, alone and with the kids. That's a love of mine. :)

We play card games. We've figured out that, thus far, we know 28 different card games. His favorite is STILL strip poker, though. ;)

Sex. Always and often. ;)

we dont play video games, but Im saving for a wii so we can do Michael Jacksons dances together. :) We like to watch sports, the news and comedy news shows together. It gives us a jump off point for debates and conversations. We like to go see live music and spend time on the patio of a restaraunt drinking margaritas and eating chips and salsa. We like to sit outside and look at the stars at night. Sometimes we lay on our back on the trampoline. We also really like to go for drives together.

We love to drink expensive french champagne together. We have pizza & tv night every Thursday after the kids are in bed. We take our gear off and walk in the summer rain (on a large private property - although I can't seem to keep my hubby's clothes on ever!), skinny dip at night (again, with the no-clothes thing :)). Sometimes if the kids are at Granny's we'll turn all the lights off, and turn up the stereo and listen to music in the dark. We tell each other we love each other every day.

My husband is originally from Amsterdam, so after the baby goes to sleep we watch this Dutch Soap on the internet. It makes him feel a little less homesick I think (And secretly I am really getting into it! Ugh!). We go on picnics for dinner at the beach whenever he gets home from work early enough. If we aren't too tired, we take baths together. =)

We love to shop together! More so house stuff than clothes. Share a bottle of wine and conversation is probably our favorite bonding, couple time. Now we are learning to sail and i hope that will be our new couple time. And we are total documentary nerds. I cant game, I don't have the hand eye coordination.

We love to watch sports of any kind (football, baseball and March madness are among the top). We like to go on walk/hikes. We like to take bike rides with the kids. We hunt and fish together. We play the Wii together, but are both way too competitive so we try to keep it mellow!! We also enjoy sitting out on our deck, sometimes by the fire pit, and enjoy a nice cocktail and watch the kiddos jump on the tramp or play around on the swing set, etc.
One thing we just started doing together is working out ~ it's weird b/c we have been together for 16+ years but have never actually worked out together. We have both been gym members and done classes, but not together. He is more of a runner and I am more of a boot camp girl. We are doing the P90X and it's tough but he keeps me going (I don't want to look like a wimp in front of him :). It's also very sexy!!!!

My hubby and I are gamers. I love getting into his world sometimes and playing a game or two. He likes COD too, but doesnt play it so much anymore. When Halo Reach came out we played that alot, and I think I impressed him ;)
Recently, it was L.A. Noire, and that was a great game, really makes you work together and think.

Oh yes, and Rock Band! Love it.
Lol.

We love to go outside after he comes home at night and sit outside for a few minutes and talk to each other. Its relaxing, and it helps us connect.

Then we cook dinner together a few times a week, and then do dishes.

We also watch the free movies On Demand, and watch something we havent seen before, even if it is something horribly cheesy.

Just fun to be together, and do nothing sometimes too.

Currently I'm providing technical advice for my husband playing the xbox. So you are not alone. Last weekend we headed out to someplace like Chuck E, but less nice. Baby girl can't even walk, so she got to supervise us playing skiball!

(maybe it's an Iowa thing?)
