But last month we started a subscription to Netflix. My husband LOVES movies. He'll even go to a movie by himself. So now, every Friday night after the boys go to bed, we pop in the latest movie. We take turns picking them. Last weekend it was "End of the Spear." Not your typical date night movie, but I recently read Through Gates of Splendor and Lee is currently reading a biography on Jim Elliot. It was a good movie (but be prepared to cry at least a little!).Not every movie is a winner. We didn't make it through "Swing Vote" a couple weeks ago. But, it's not about the movie. It's about time together. In the same room. Focused on the same thing. Even sitting by each other without little ones in between us!

Some of my favorite date nights with my husband are candlelight over chinese (he picked up on his way home from work), movies at home (the popcorn is much cheaper than the theatre and you can wear your pjs) or breakfast on the back patio (we call it coffee al fresco). Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good way to end the week for me! We usually end up sitting on the same couch doing different stuff--me watching TV or quilting and him playing on the computer.
ReplyDeleteGreat post...and we LOVE Netflix too! I'll have to see if hubby's free some night this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Our world could use a whole lot more posts like this. Marriage is so important. I love that you noticed what your husband likes and went for it. It wasn't about you - it was about what is best for him. My husband loves movies too! I'm totally going to do this tonight, I'm gonna call him now to ask him to pick up some chinese!
