Married spouses, what do you do for fun with your "partner?"

Partner can be defined as wife, husband, life partner, partnership, etc.

Must state the following:

1. Your age and "partner's" age.
2. Children, yes or no? If so, how many?
3. How long have you been with this person?
4. First go around (marriage) or learning from your mistakes?
5. What is a typical date outside outside of your home?
6. How often do you have a "date" night in a month, quarter, semi-annually or annually?

I'll go first.

1. 41 and 36
2. 2 children, ages 10 and 7
3. 13 years (18 years total)
4. First time. Cheaper to keep her now.
5. Dinner at a restaurant with children.
6. Not enough, which is why I pose this question. We are "great at being parents" but need to devote more time to each other in "just" being a couple.

Divorced people are welcome to join as well. Perhaps your shared mistakes with all of us will help others not make the same.

"partner" implies equality, I don't have a "partner", I own a wife.

It's the OT. This is expected.

However, there may be a few nuggets of truth and honesty in here. Maybe.

1. 62 and 57
2. 3
3. 35 years
4. Only marriage
5. Dinner and a movie
6. Once or twice a month we make it out (excluding events such as weddings, Texas games, and such). Now that I've retired, we look forward to spending our time relaxing at home with a nice bottle of wine and a nice meal.

Can you tell me what she likes?

Because when you're gone, she is a completely different person.

I'll play:

1. 34 and 34
2. 4 children, ages 9, 8, 4, 1
3. 11
4. First time.
5. Family outdoor adventures (entire family). Late lunch and drinks (when just us).
6. Maybe once, that shite is expensive after activity + babysitting. I think, bottom line, if you can't enjoy time as an entire family unit, there's a problem.

I have trouble understanding couples who can only be a couple away from their kids.

Here's a list:

Go to sports games
Go to movies
Hang out with mutual friends
Go to dinner
Exercise together
Read a book together
Concerts
Do a project together (improving your house, crafts stuff, etc)
Learn a new skill together
Play golf or tennis

Obviously Some of those are more centered for adults, but a lot of them you can include the kids

Edit: someone mentioned shopping and you could do that too, just make sure money isn't a point of contention for y'all. It isn't for me, but I know a lot of people in relationships where one partner spends too much and shopping can cause fights or be unpleasant

Your kids are old enough for you to have more alone time with your wife. It's imperative.

2. twin boys 9 and a 3 yo girl
3. been together 11 years
4. first marriage for both
5. we like to go to dinner, usually our go to is a local place, great food and drinks. We will mix it up from time to time. We like to go see live music as well. Kids go to bed at 8pm during the week, so we use this as our time to relax and enjoy some quiet time together with out mobile devices to distract us.
6. try to get some alone time away from the kids at least 2 times a month for a date night and once every couple months we try to get away for night or two.
