    Yes. He works up North for 28 days on and 14 off. During the 2 weeks, I insist on date night at least 2 times. One each week he is home. We dress up and go out.
    I make it a priority and he agrees.

    Between Sometimes and Always. It was a sometimes thing until about three months ago then we made it a regular 1-2 times a month.

    We have a date night out usually once every month or two... I work 2 jobs and he works full time and is upgrading school so we dont have a lot of spare time.

    But it we do make time for each other even if it’s not “date night”. We enjoy cooking meals together (usually about once a week when our schedules line up) and we play on a coed soccer team together. And sundays we try and sit out on our deck together and watch the sun go down Smiley smile

    We try to go out at least once a week when we are in the same city! He works full time and I’m currently in the middle of studying for my board exams so it’s a challenge for sure but we try to make time

    We always go out on Wednesday’s. It is half price chicken wings at our favourite place! (They are the bomb) We do this once a month and we don’t have our phones out while we’re out. Something we started once we started dating. Allows us to really connect and have “us” time.

    Sometimes. It's harder to find the time (also we try to cook at home to keep things healthier), but we make the effort to go out occasionally.

    ALWAYS. The 15th of every month is guaranteed OURS. Plus more than that usually too. We don't have kids so that makes it easier!

    Sometimes. We try to have regular date nights but it seems that one of us will get offered overtime at work on our scheduled "date nights" so now we just kind of wing it

    Sometimes - we always set time aside for each other, but we don’t always go out for the dates; they’re often at home. one of us will cook for the other and we’ll watch a movie at home with our two dogs.

    We don't make a point of having regular date nights but we generally get food or see a movie or both a few times a month anyway so I guess those are our dates.

    Sometimes.

    With wedding planning and funds there isn't always the time or money. Plus we play organized sports, have dogs, try to maintain our gym routine...

    We try to as much as we can.

    But occasionally we will even grab some snacks and wine and have a date movie night at home. Which those are almost better at times.

    Or we were doing dance classes for the wedding... so we kinda treated that like date night.

    Sometimes... we have 2 small kids and have a lot of renos happening so it's hard to find time but we try to make a point of going on a date 1x a month. If we cant get out we have a date night in though.

    Never

    We used to when we first started dating - not anymore as we are both finishing our degrees and finding time is difficult. Definitely something I want to reinstate once we enter the job market - I think it's important to carve out dedicated time to spend with each other and focus on us.

    Always - but we don't have to "go out" to make it a date!
    We'll watch a favorite show together or sporting event, go out for a pint, go for a walk, etc. It's just quality time we carve out for each other here and there.

    Sadly, no.
    We have an 8 month old so our dates are limited to movies on the couch in the afternoon while she naps.

    Sometimes, We've been busy with house renos so haven't had a lot of time for date nights but we still like to try and have a night out (or in) where we only focus on each other.

    Sometimes? I would say every other week (Other than lately as he has been away on work for the past few weeks and has a few more to go...). We are trying to save money for the wedding but you need to have a date night every once in a while!! I would be surprised if anybody put never..... Then again - arranged marriage would mean you haven't gone on a date yet!

    Always. We go out together one day on the weekend. It’s really important for us as we both still live at home.

    Always - we pick one night every two weeks, and put it in both of our calendars, so we can do something together that's different from our usual routine.

    Sometimes!

    We do a lot together. Every weekend is a little date. Last weekend we fished and then went to the driving range.

    Always! We try to set aside one night a week for date night. Not always going out though. Sometimes date night is just staying in with cooked dinner and watching something special on tv or playing a game together.

    I would say sometimes. We don’t do typical dinner for date night. We usually do something adventurous. We had a little kayaking date yesterday 😃
