With two small children, it seems like having someone else cook dinner and being able to talk to my husband without interruption, is a tremendous luxury! That gets my vote!
My husband and I fell in love while rock climbing. It would still be my first choice for a date. Its exhilarating and something that you have to do together in order to succeed. You always feel a sense of accomplishment when you're done. That's a nice added bonus!

Me and my husband fell in love at the beach and at home at least once a month we make our own beach night until it is our anniversary and then we always make our annual trip to the beach.
My husband and I both work alot and don't get much time together alone. It's nice to be able to go out and have some time together with no interuptions.
I love the ability to sit down, not worrying about dinner, kids, dogs, household chores, etc., eat a good meal and enjoy my husband. He interests me greatly and there is nothing better than sharing my day/week/month/year/LIFE with him. It's amazing just how intimate a conversation can be with the one you love.
My husband and I have been together for a total of 22 years. Going out to dinner and a couple of drinks, just the two of us w/o the kids has been a great way for us to nuture our relationship with each other. We talk about anything and everything. After all, he's still my best friend and what are best friends for!
Its imposible to do anything when you have 4 kids... You have to make plans like 3 months ahead of time ...
My spouse and I have a permanent Friday night date... Every Friday night, we go out for at least dinner together, although it is generally followed by a movie or a visit to our favorite coffee house for some live music and desert. Then once a month, we escape for a night in a motel, away from the kids, dogs, etc. The date for escape night is easy to plan for, we do it on the date of our anniversary every month.
