It wasn't until I got married that I realized the importance of having a designated "date night"! Don't get me wrong, be married is fabulous. But after going through the everyday stresses of work, house chores, and finances you gotta have something to keep that spark going!
Hunter is really good and thoughtful about planning a great date night just when it's needed! Last week he surprised me and took me to Fort Worth for dinner at Joe T. Garcia's. For my non-Texan followers (bless your heart!), Joe T's is just one of those places everyone just HAS to go to when they go to Fort Worth! It's an old local hot spot and just plain fun.
A friend of ours joined us with his date and we headed out to cow town! When we got there the line was wrapped around the building! It was crazy, but figured must be another reason it's so worth the wait! Thankfully I living in Texas so it was 60 degrees and we just had a good time chatting!
When we got seated, you aren't given a menu, just the question of enchiladas or fajitas! Ha! Simple menu! Food was awesome and my margarita was incredible!
I think the best part was being out on a real date! Hunter made it really fun and sweet! Plus being out with a couple that had just started dating made it add the extra little spark! Seeing them hold hands and sneak a kiss made me think of those fun and exciting days when Hunter and I had just started dating!
I decided we were having just too much fun and couldn't end the night so after getting back to Dallas we hit up a Fro-Yo shop and walked through the shopping area.
Just being all dressed up (ok I at least put on eyeliner) and out with the hubby made me really feel like we're dating again! I think it's just a great reminder of the advice a family friend gave me when we were engaged was to never stop dating each other!
It's such good advice and easy to do, but just as easy to forget! I think it's fun to send Hunter sweet, flirty text during an inappropriate time like during his business meeting, because I know he turns bright red and smiles reading it.
What are some good ways to keep "dating" your husband or significant other? Is it a fancy night out, reliving your first date, or little love notes? Do you think you should date your husband or is marriage something different! I can't wait to hear some ideas !
