Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day!
I must admit that Mac and I aren’t the most scintillating of couples. We’re homebodies at heart and are perfectly happy sprawled on a couch at home watching our latest Netflix movie (we’re on a roll, y’all). Maybe it’s because we’ve lived in Fayetteville for three years. This town isn’t exactly known for its night life, well good night life that doesn’t involve Bragg Boulevard. Sadly, we haven’t even become winos because someone is watching his girlish figure and someone else doesn’t like drinking alone. Unless, of course, she’s home alone then it’s game on like Donkey Kong.
But how do you keep passion in such a marriage? How do we prevent that spark from fizzling out? I have to admit that I get bored with our daily lives. Then I remember the year we spent apart when I would’ve done anything for a lazy night at home.
Sometimes, you have to find joy in the mundane. Date nights include a visit to Sam’s Club. Weekends are occasionally wiled away at Fun Fun Fun, our preferred putt putt purveyor (say that ten times fast). We make an effort to enjoy spending time together even if it’s not at the most exciting venue. Any time together is better than time apart, after all.
How do y’all spice up the daily grind? Do you try anything new for date nights?
Mr. Duh and I are homebodies as well. We’ve been married six years, and we’ve always had a hard time “spicing it up”. We have been trying to go out to the movies more or find random things to do… like bowling, board games, mini-golf. We have been talking about taking salsa lessons.
We are 100% homebodies, we are going on 5 years of marriage and at times it can be tough. We try to have dates night or go on a weekend trip somewhere fun. It’s the little things. 🙂
This sounds like me and my husband.We’ve been married for four years and we spend most nights cuddled on the couch watching his favorite tv show, but you know what, I never find it boring. I really really enjoy it and wouldn’t want to spend my night any other way!

Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day!
The little things matter most to me. I love our dinner or lunch dates just us two. Just laying in bed playing a game together or watching a show together. I love just being best friends most days. 🙂
The couch is our place. Netflix is our thing. I love it. However, in January we started Alphabet Dating to change things around and add experience new things together. It’s super fun and you can plan the date at home or out, but it would help change things up. I must admit, though, we always end up ending the night with Neflix on the couch…we just do more fun, active, and exciting stuff beforehand! 🙂
Netflix or Call of Duty is usually our thing on the weekends. Occasionally we do the putt putt thing, drinks with friends, or the movie/dinner date, but nothing too crazy. Have y’all tried out the Wine Paint Canvas yet? It’s a lot of fun!
