    Been married 30 year and date night omg would hate it. I would love a date day., a casual walk and a lovely lunch. That would excite me more. No having to dress up depending where lunch is, but a walk along the river or a country pub or stroll along the beach. These are possible for me and my area. No expectations on either of us. ☺

    Been happily married (mostly) for 42yrs, we’ve never had ‘date’ night. We might go out for a meal or go for a run out somewhere but never called it ‘date’ night, think that would put some kind of pressure on us. Been together 46yrs.

    Never had date nights, over 20 years together, sounds as if people are over thinking far too much in their lives 😏

    We've been married nearly 46 years so I think we're past having a date night. I was just telling my husband about them and he said he's too old and it's far too cold to get in the back seat of the car for a snog!

    I’ve been married 41years and never had a date night is it really necessary to have I’ve survived all these years without having them and to be perfectly honest I think time to ones self can be more beneficial in a marriage 🙂

    I think it's important for a couple to have time for themselves it doesn't always to be the typical date night like dinner but sometimes going for tea/coffee or a walk in the evening

    I loved this , thanks. I agree that calling it a "date night" automatically puts alot of pressure on the couple to step up to the plate, and then high expectations can lead to a terrible disappointment, which then defeats the whole purpose of it. I say just rephrase it to "our time" or something more flexible

    Hi! Just been on a date night to celebrate our 43rd Wedding anniversary. First 10 minutes were dodgy. Work pressures were spilling over into the evening. Chucked wine down his throat and switch conversation to fun stuff. Pick 2 fav holiday destinations, 2 fav same sex celebs you would, 2 most embarrassing moments, 2 goosepimple moments, that type of stuff. Conversation wandered all over the place. We got back 2 hours ago and he's fallen asleep on the sofa for the rest of the evening. Bless! Love him to bits!!!!

    Forget date night just do things on the spur of the moment.. Adding pressure to and expectation to life.. It's controlling life how things should and shouldn't be.. 🙄Sounds exhausting.. Arghhh..

    This was such an interesting discussion because it's applicable to all social interaction, and the pressure we feel to do new and interesting things with the people in our lives. In an ideal world all my friends would live in the same area and we could spontaneously throw an impromptu party. That isn't how life works. Now we are all so mobile our loved ones live in different counties and countries - even travelling across different boroughs of London feels like a burdensome schlep. If something matters enough everyone involved will make their own childcare and travel plans. Just realised I'm ranting, but my friends and I just scheduled something recently and we were throwing back and forth dozens of dates before we found something that suited everyone's different lives. Same applies to a date. Fix a date, make the arrangements and commit to it. I've also learnt that when it comes to ticketed events in London you really just have to bite the bullet and book or you will miss out! Nothing wrong with going to the cinema or theatre if that's what you enjoy. Could try a free lecture or debate but they are often daytime Xx

    Take it from an old married woman, don’t have date night, just go out like you go to the park, or have a night out, go for a pub meal or cinema but don’t say date night, don’t make a big thing of it, yes get a babysitter but just because you’re going out. Go shopping without kids have lunch but don’t call it a date x

    I just think all this trying to re invent the wheel just complicates things and would cause unnecessary pressure and anxiety. It’s the label ‘date night’ to me sounds like doing an exam trying to tick all those imaginary boxes you mentioned Nadia. Tell you what though Mark....the horse and carriage now theres a thought lol 😂🤣 one of the best things me and my lovely hubby of 31 years do, is we still have a good laugh together...that’s the most romantic thing, takes out all the heaviness that life’s struggles can bring. Now you two do that a lot so in my book you’ve got a great relationship👍

    I seem to remember Nadia referring to a hotel date she and Mark had once in loose women? (only time they could get to themselves do they booked some time together in a hotel). Loved that! (not that I was there lol).

    We did that, afternoon tea I got it for my 70th birthday with my husband I really enjoyed it, then we walked around the town centre. I like that idea of a dance class but my husband wouldn’t do that xx

    Have Google calendar set up so you both can see what's booked, date nights are good, it's just setting a date for a night out, also asking new ...or old questions is a good idea as tastes change so it's good to update and freshen things up. 😊

    Private dance lessons would be a definite no. Join a dance group! Have some light-hearted fun with others around - As you both work in the TV/Film industry you should definitely avoid anything to do with either as you'd end up 'talking shop'. Do something spontaneous, forget planning and diaries. If you feel like doing something but, you've got a vlog to put out... sod the vlog and do what you both want to do. Live life in your moment!

    Date nights are too much pressure as a term. We just say we’d like to go out for a meal. Always find food and a nice glass of wine makes for good chat x

  • @margywright8278
    @margywright8278 5 років тому

    Don’t put pressure on yourselves over date night. You shouldn’t compare your lives with others and just enjoy your interests. Make a list of things you’d like to do and plan them into your dates. Xx

    I think you should build in and make plans to get away for a night..even if it's a local hotel every now and then...have a meal, go for a walk, watch a film doesn't have to include spaghetti....

    You guys are funny. I don’t like the saying ‘Date Night’ it’s just so cheesy and corny!!
    Have a day or night out together without having to call it ‘a date night’ no pressure or expectations just go with the flow and don’t over think it. Enjoy being together and if spaghetti happens then it happens if it doesn’t then hey ho no great shame. 😉 xxx
