Couples NEED time together.

Just a night home together is great for spending quality time with your spouse. You could arrange to have the children spend the night with their grandparents or friends for that night. Go to your local video rental store, or just use the Pay-Per-View on your cable or satellite, and choose a great new movie that both of you have been wanting to see. Make a nice dinner or pick something up from your favorite local resturant. Have dinner together over a lovely candlelit table or even just on some pillows in the livingroom floor. After the dinner, curl up together on the sofa and watch the movie you picked out. Once that's over you can end the evening where ever the mood may take you. This is one of the easiest ways to spend quality time with your spouse. It can also be one of the cheapest for those of us on a tight budget.
Another idea for quality time with your spouse would be just dinner out together. You can just do it on the spur of the moment if you haven't scheduled your date nights yet or you can call days ahead and make reservations at that favorite resturant of your's. Either way just spending an hour or two focusing on no one except your spouse is what you are going for. It doesn't matter what resturant you choose as long as it's a sight down resturant where you two can enjoy each other's company. My husband and I have a weekly Friday lunch date while the big kids are in school. We've been doing this for several months now and it has shown to be an excellent way to have some quality time together without the kids.
Going to a movie is a great way to spend quality time together. Especially if it's a movie that both of you have been wanting to see. You can also combine the movie with the dinner out to make the night extra long and extra special. My husband and I don't get to do the movie night very often since we don't like to keep the girls out too late. So that's why we enjoy our Friday lunch dates. But when the opportunity arises to go out and see a movie, we certainly run for it!
You could also spend a Saturday just going around to yard sales and/or the flea market. I love going to our local flea market and my husband always finds something new that he HAS to have. You could go to a local festival and enjoy yourselves. You could even just go to a favorite store for some shopping, browsing or just some window shopping. What about a picnic in the park? Spend a nice sunny day have lunch together on a blanket in the park.
Activity ideas for spending quality time with your spouse are only limited by your own imagination. Just do things that you and your spouse will enjoy doing together. Just have fun being together!
