5 Ways to Ask Your Spouse Out

5/12/2016

Everyone knows that going on regular dates is key to a happy and healthy marriage. Why? Because couples need alone time. Time to be husband and wife - not mom or dad, dentist, HR director, PTA member, or fire chief. When was the last time you asked that dashing husband or wife of yours, out on a date? Silence. Awkward silence. You're married. You don't have to ask your spouse out anymore, right? You just tell them what you are doing, or ask on Friday morning,
Everyone knows that going on regular dates is key to a happy and healthy marriage. Why? Because couples need alone time. Time to be husband and wife - not mom or dad, dentist, HR director, PTA member, or fire chief. 

When was the last time you asked that dashing husband or wife of yours, out on a date? Silence. Awkward silence.

You're married. You don't have to ask your spouse out anymore, right? You just tell them what you are doing, or ask on Friday morning, "So, what are we going to do tonight?" 

Well, if you want to take your marriage to a whole new level, and up the romance factor a LOT, then soak up this little truth - 


You should still ASK your spouse out on dates!

Yes, you should ASK him or her out. 

This simple gesture of asking your spouse out makes the date feel a bit more official, intentional, and exciting. Oh, and it requires that you put a bit more effort into it (P.S. Effort is something that nurtured your relationship before you got married and that will nurture your marriage now!).

Finally, asking your spouse out will go a long ways in
 winning his or her affection, rekindling those butterfly feelings, and helping you cultivate a greater love and friendship with each other. 

While it may feel a bit awkward at first, asking your spouse out (and getting asked out in return!) can quickly become something you look forward to.

So, to jump start your next date, here are five simple and creative ways you can ask your husband or wife out. 


1. Call him on the phone (even if he is in the room next to you). 

Ask him about his day, and then say something like, "I got tickets to this (insert favorite band here) concert for Friday, and I was wondering if you would like to go with me and then grab some dessert after?...It starts at 7pm, so dress casual and be ready by 6:00pm." Then hang up and go kiss him. 
2. Leave her a note on her pillow or on the seat of her car, simply asking her out and telling her how much you love spending time with her. 

If your doing a date-in, simply invite her to a lovely candlelight dinner at home, and rename your house some kind of fancy restaurant name. For example, if your last name is Thompson, you could invite her to a dinner for two at the Thomson Grill, with a Redbox and Ben & Jerry's to follow. She will be thrilled. 


3. Send him an invite in the mail to either your home address or his work address. 

Kind of cheesy, but you can bet that when he checks the mail, he is going to be pretty excited to see that something other than a bill came for him. Maybe even include the tickets you purchased, and spray the envelope with perfume...Just trying to nurture romance here, folks.

4. Text or email her. 

This may not be the most romantic option, but you can still make it romantic if you say the right things. Just imagination how fun and flirtatious your conversation could be. 


Husband: Hey babe, are you available Saturday night at 6:30pm?
Wife: Possibly...why? 
Husband: Will you go dancing with me? And grab Chipotle with me after? And then of course we could spend some time making out in the car at our favorite look-out spot.
Wife: I'm in. You're paying? ;)
Husband: Great. I'll be counting down the hours until we get to dance the night away.
Wife: You are a crazy romantic, and a little over-the-top, but I kind of like it. 
Husband: Good, because you're stuck with me.
Wife: Well then, I'll see you Saturday...actually, I'll see you tonight. :) xoxo

5. Ask him face to face. 

This is always fun as long as you make sure and throw in a little physical affection. Wrap your arms around his neck and ask him out. Or take his hands and dance around the kitchen with him before you ask him about going out with you on Saturday. Or for bonus points, you could always pick up his favorite treat, or favorite box of cereal, and give it to him while you ask him out - face to face.


Asking your spouse on dates every week, or every other week doesn't have to be extravagant, but that little extra effort will help you two rekindle romance, try new things together, and enjoy much needed time to talk, laugh, and relish each other's company.

So, go ask your husband or wife out, and then share your creative ideas in the comments below!

I like how you mentioned that dates don't have to be extravagant. I would think that something as simple as dinner at a nice restaurant could be a good date activity. Having dinner at a restaurant would allow you to have the time to talk to your spouse.

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected]

OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others

BE CAREFUL of crypto platforms promising huge returns. They lure people into fake programs. I lost 198,450 USD last year. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on the Bitcoin Abuse Forum about HACKERSTEVE. I contacted him via his email on [email protected] | https://hackersteve.great-site.net/, and he helped me recover all my funds. If you've also been a victim of financial scams, don't hesitate to get in touch with him.

My partner and I have been together for 12 years but we broke up 3 years ago after our fight over his cheating habits which they all say it's not their fault but I was the one getting hurt. I was upset over the whole issue that I had to call for the separation but I felt really bad. The separation really had effects on my daughter who had to live away from her father. I had to think of a way to settle things out and find a solution to my husband's behavior. I found out about a spell caster Doctor Odunga who helped me with the problem to make my spouse come back to me and make him stop cheating. Soon, Richard came back to me begging at Sicily where I stayed after our divorce and I told him he has to show me he has changed for me to believe him. He came back twice after that day to Sicily begging me to have him back. It's been more than a year now since my husband came back to me and we have been living together since that day. I believe this man can also help with your problem. His email address is [email protected] or WhatsApp him at +2348167159012

I want to thank the Great DR SUNNY for bringing the restoration of my broken marriage. My name is Fatima. No one could have made me believe that the Testimony would come true. I was the biggest skeptic in the world, but a trusted source (a very close co-worker) told me and I gave it a try, it was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles and I was on the brink of a third. I just couldn't face another divorce and wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn't seem to mind. He broke up with me again. He was confused and I don't know what to do again, rather that they contact DR SUNNY. He did a love spell that got my husband back to me in exactly 48 hours, he assured me. now we are very happy with ourselves. Dr. SUNNY made him realize how much we love and need each other. This man is REAL and for the better. He can also help you fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle. contact him now if he needs help. email: [email protected] You can also send a WhatsApp to +2348082943805.

My husband left me for another woman a few months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain and agony because my husband was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend and also a colleague from work told me he saw some testimonies of a spiritual counselor called Doctor Muna, He can bring back lover within some few days. Ridiculously, I laughed it out and said I am not interested. But for friendship's sake, she consulted this God sent man on my behalf and to my greatest surprise, Immediately after 12 hours, my husband called me for the very first time for over 7 months saying "I miss you babe and I'm so sorry for everything I made you went through" I couldn't say a word but cried over the phone and hanged up. We are back together and living Happily together again. To be honest, I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you DOCTOR MUNA for bringing back my love and also to my SELFLESS FRIEND. Laura, who interceded on my behalf. For anyone who might need help of this wonderful spiritual counselor, here is the email address: [email protected], Also add him on WhatsApp: +2347035449257

My husband just woke up and decided our marriage was over. For a few months now, Mark and i have not been going well because he was having an affair with his assistant at work. I loved my husband so much and decided to stay and work on our marriage. In a short time, Mark stopped coming home and his close friend told me he has another apartment where he live with her. I was hurt and went on seeking for help because Mark was different from the man i married 10 years ago. Luckily, i found Dr OGBO who promised to return my husband back to me. He performed a reconciliation spell and he returned back and now we are both happy again with our boys. If you have issues like mine, send Dr OGBO Email [email protected] or contact him on Whatsapp 👉+2349057657558

I lost my marriage after 2 years and it was a horrible experience for me. My wife left me and my son and everything happened beyond my control and I never knew few people around me engineered my wife and turned her against me just because I choose to build my family and focus more on it. I had to seek help because I know I did not do anything to have my marriage crashed. Dr Isikolo helped me and a lot was revealed to me on what transpired. He cast a love reunion spell that bonded my wife and I back together and the whole evil my family did against me was revealed. Am thankful that my home is back more happier than ever and all the appreciation goes to Dr Isikolo as he indeed fixed my problems just after 48 hours. website: https://isikolo-temple.com or text him on WhatsApp via +2348133261196

AI has caused me more problems than it has solved. I was connected to a cryptocurrency trader through Google AI and lost my hard-earned money to a scam. If it weren't for the assistance of Lord Meduza, whom my sister-in-law recommended to me, I wouldn’t have been able to win the $435 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery. My life could have taken a drastic turn due to the overwhelming bills I faced after being cheated by the crypto traders. Lord Meduza utilized his extraordinary spell powers to determine the perfect six numbers I needed to win the Mega Millions Lottery, and I followed his instructions to play those numbers. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown, which is beyond measure.

Wishing good fortune to everyone who comes across this comment. I went bankrupt last year due to failed business ideas. I used to enjoy playing the lottery for fun but as my situation worsened financially, I sought help to win big this time and found a man called MEDUZA, who has assisted numerous individuals worldwide with their financial issues. This man prepared a powerful spell for me that enabled him to get the secrete lucky numbers for me, I played the game with the numbers and to my astonishment, I discovered that I had won $259 million Jackpot after 2 weeks just has he said; Today, I’m now free of debt and I own different investments globally. Without Meduza, I wouldn’t have made it through the tough times I experienced last year. Truly, MEDUZA is a divine presence among us.
