Roamnce in Marriage

clemsonfan · 08-01-2008, 03:11 PM

Ok, you married guys out there, I have some questions out there for you about romance.

1. Is romance alive and thriving in your marriage?

2. If so, how do you keep romance alive?

oliegirl · 08-01-2008, 03:13 PM

For one thing, I always try to spell romance correctly

clemsonfan · 08-01-2008, 03:14 PM

Oops!

miked · 08-01-2008, 03:14 PM

1. Yes
2. Duct tape

Marc Vaughan · 08-01-2008, 03:15 PM

I think it stays on life support for most people, romance is never quite the same once you're married and know the other person farts in their sleep

(but personally I've found that regular dates regardless of circumstances helps a lot)

gkb · 08-01-2008, 03:15 PM

She has boobs...that's romantic.

Marc Vaughan · 08-01-2008, 03:16 PM

(oh and sending small random gifts/flowers every now and again doesn't hurt

)

1. Yes.

2. I pretty much throw the broad on a table, bring out the toothbrush, and go to town.

st.cronin · 08-01-2008, 03:27 PM

1. Yes

2. Girl on girl porn, mostly.

oliegirl · 08-01-2008, 03:30 PM

I think a lot of people think romance has to be something big and grand, but I think it's the opposite. Whenever we (hubby and I) try to plan something romantic, a really nice date night, etc...it just doesn't "click" and feels too forced. But when we go on the porch after dinner and just sit the two of us and talk and look at the stars...that is really romantic for us. Or just deciding to take a walk, it's the little moments that happen that at least to me, mean more.

Last week I'd had a really crappy day, didn't feel well, bad customers at work, etc...we've been trying to cut down on soda so we aren't keeping it in the house...he stopped on the way home and got me a diet coke w/lime b/c he knew I was craving one. That was romantic. Not "take me to bed or lose me forever" romantic, but it was sweet.

Oh yeah, dirty text messages and cell phone pics also help with the spontaneity

I guess now is a good time to tell you that he sends those to me, too.

Noop · 08-01-2008, 03:33 PM

You should ask your wife out on a date. Treat it as a first date and get to know each other all over again.

Warhammer · 08-01-2008, 03:34 PM

1) Yes

2) You gotta work at it. I had been out of town for two weeks, prior to getting back in town, I arranged to have a friend babysit the kids that Friday night. My wife called on the way back to work, and I explained that I had to be at home for a business call around 5:30. We should go shopping after that, etc., etc. 5:30 rolled around, the babysitter arrived (the wife's best friend) and I told her to pick a place to eat, we were going out for dinner and a movie. She was absolutely dumbfounded. She loved it, and has been working harder herself because of it.

I. J. Reilly · 08-01-2008, 03:34 PM

I agree with Pumpy, proper hygiene is very important in a marriage.

RendeR · 08-01-2008, 03:34 PM

So sitting here at home in a wife-beater t-shirt and my boxer-breifs is...bad?

Noop · 08-01-2008, 03:35 PM

Cats wear wife-beaters and boxers?

RendeR · 08-01-2008, 03:36 PM

*shrugs* I guess *i* do.

RendeR · 08-01-2008, 03:36 PM

I should clarify, its not a true wife-beater shirt but it is a sleeveless white cotten shirt.

Eaglesfan27 · 08-01-2008, 03:39 PM

1. Yes

2. We plan alone time for us to just focus on each other at least a few hours several days of every week. We plan on doing this at least once a week once we have kids as well (fortunately her mom lives within driving distance to baby sit.) Any relationship needs time put aside to keep it thriving.

I know, that is what makes it so hot!!!!

Pumpy Tudors · 08-01-2008, 04:04 PM

My wife and I are going out on a date tonight. We're going to a restaurant that we visit often. We'll be served by a pregnant waitress, and we're going to take turns trying to get the waitress to come home with us. My wife almost convinced her the last time we were there, but then I spilled my Mountain Dew on the table, and the pregnant chick ran away to get a towel.

In any case, when we get home - with or without the waitress - the date will probably end as it always does. We'll let the cat nail me a couple of times with the strap-on.

M GO BLUE!!! · 08-01-2008, 04:05 PM

Pumpy is getting weirder.

RendeR · 08-01-2008, 04:11 PM

Yeah but at least in his weirdness there is entertainment.

M GO BLUE!!! · 08-01-2008, 04:14 PM

That's why we love him as we have never loved a man before.

With feline sex toys.

Yes, absolutely. No question. It's a huge priority for both of us, and always will be.

Wait, did you mean"sex"? Because, no.

Noop · 08-01-2008, 04:26 PM

Well I didn't know that clemsonfan was a woman.

To get this thread back on track I did have a friend who was able to combine romance and marriage. Unfortunately for him, his wife found out.

cuervo72 · 08-01-2008, 07:47 PM

Ahh, nothing like finding your husband's internet hangout, joining up, and then asking a question about romance in marriage.

Well...except for finding your husband's internet hangout, joining up, putting him through the ringer, divorcing him, and hanging around after getting remarried as a constant reminder of everything he's gone through.

I was truly looking for ideas in this thread, nothing more.

Butter · 08-01-2008, 08:29 PM

Nothing like being a bitter old man.

Pumpy, can we get the dogs to do anything with the strap-on? Ours just kind of stare at it. Maybe we should just get a cat, that might work.

I'm totally becoming gay for you, in a completely non-homosexual way.

Well, I would suggest taping sunglasses to the strap-on, and then the dog will think Tom Cruise has come over. That should get the dog to do something with it.

At least she's not asking about how to fudge a bank statement.
