right now it's just time spent watching tv but would love to get that thing turned off!! 

Nicole, we love to watch tv together a couple times throughout the week, but something we do is turn it into time together as well...we will rub each other's feet or give one another neck massages while we watch. Hope that helps!

We watch a lot of tv together, too... but we just instituted an "in-house" date night!!  One night a week after the kids go to bed... no tv, no computers!  Play a board game, card game, enjoy coffee and dessert, talk ... or do married people things :)  It's not always easy, but we are working on it!

Your date nights sound so good!  Yeah he doesn't like doing any snuggling and doesn't really like sitting together.  Says it's uncomfortable.  lol  OH, and he def. doesn't like board games either!  Been trying to get him to play those for almost 15 years!  He was like this at the beginning so I should have known it wouldn't change...

About once per month we try to take a long drive exploring the area we live in. We just toss the kids and some snacks in the car and go! Sometimes we plan where we want to go bysearching through the state or local tourism sites but sometimes we just point the car down the road and see what's out there. Car time is usually good talk time. 

Car time is great time for talking! We do that often as well!

We love to watch movies together either in house or at the dollar theater.  We also love walking on the beach (30 minute drive) and going to local parks.

Recently we went to a nearby resort just for an hour and sat by the pool and talked.  Then we went to a restaurant and split a dessert.  Good cheap fun!

we are blessed to have a mcdonalds  quite close to our home and when my eldest dd is home to watch the little ones we go over and either sit in the back with coffee or grab a soda thru the drive thru and park in the lot. :)  it's the only way to talk when you have 7 children!
