Need in Home Date Night Ideas

We like to take baths together. You are in a space together, with no distractions. You get to touch eachother and relax. You can add whatever you want to that, music, wine, chocolate.
We also like the game Settlers of Catan, Yes, it is a board game but it is different every time you play becuase of the way you set up the board.
We also like to try a new recipe together, even if all it is is a simple cobbler and that is a treat that we get to share ALONE! which is nice that you can sit down together and actually eat it, instead of getting up to get the kids milk, or more, or whatever.
You could also bedroom movies. they do not have to be obscene but I always think it is fun to watch movies in bed.

My husband will try any kind of beer, so whenever I'm at a World Market, or anywhere with beers from around the world, I get him a build your own six pack for him to try. I'll get me a bottle of wine (I like mostly domestic beers). It's just a nice way of letting him know I'm thinking abour him while I'm out running errands.

My husband and I have a "special" dinner every Saturday. We try and get the kids to bed early and have a nice dinner together without interruptions. Sometimes we sit in front of tube and rent a movie or sit at the table and spend some table time alone and talk (something we don't seem to have alot of time to do anymore).

What about fondue one night...we love chocolate..it is really easy! Or, maybe light the fireplace and roast hot dogs and marchmallows..kind of like camping you know:) I like the idea of reading a magazine together..a funny thing I have done before with my hubby is read one of those Glamour magazines when they put articles about what men like with regards to intimacy especially. It opens up conversation for sure..and tends to lead to other things as well:) We also love to "remember when.." so maybe a jar with lead questions that you each pull out would be fun. Things like, "Do you remember when you first saw me?" Or "Do you remember our first date...when you proposed, how did it feel? etc. Taking a walk down memory lane is so much fun, we still learn things about each other,and how we felt back then. And, it reminds us of why we are here, with 4 kids in bed, and too tired to do much else:) Have fun!!

Make a romantic dinner for 2. Eat it later than the normal meal.
Get some soft music and light some candles and dance in the living room.
The nights are cool get some lawn chairs and candles and have some wine outside. Or coffee or hot chocolate!!!

Put a note on his horn of his car.
Ask about his work. His friends at work. Ask him what new thing he would like to try. Remember to think out side of the box!!! HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you said he's not much for board games, but try An Enchanted Evening. Have some romantic snacks and a fun drink of your choice. The game starts at the "Do you remember...?" level and works into more intimate places.

I hope you get some good ideas because you sound a lot like my husband and me. Though a couple of times my husband will pick out a movie for us to watch and we cuddle up on the sofa. I remember when we were dating he use to drive me to parks or private areas get me out of the car, turn up the radio and we would dance... now that we have kids we are so tired all the time, I usually fall asleep first too, he's so sweet he doesn't wake me up. I don't know about you, but every time we try to be romantic, one of the kids wake up or ruin it for us...

Here are a few things that my husband and I do...

We have these water bottles that we use for the cats when the scratch the furniture or something and when the kids go to bed we'll squirt each other around the house with them. I know it sounds silly and not really romantic, but we have a lot of fun and get a good laugh out of it.

We also take the kids on a walk in the neighborhood in the evening sometimes...mainly on the weekends. We will also read an article in a magazine together and then discuss it when we're laying in bed. We also...turn on music on the tv and slow dance sometimes. It definatly helps set the mood.
