It’s Friday evening, we are looking at each other too tired to even think about going out. I know you understand that look & been there yourself a time or two. Too tired to date your spouse!
Listen, life was brutal this week. The hubby was on the road 4 out of 7 days this week. I encountered challenges every where I turned.
Honestly, all I wanted to do was take my bra off, recline in my recliner & drink a bottle of wine.
There are times when we opt not to have a date outside the house. We know our limits. If our minds and bodies are not into engaging with the outside world, we stay in.
Date night for us look like & feel how we design it.
I knew I wasn’t cooking. I had the wine already. (I keep wine in the house. Don’t judge me) I looked in my coupon book & came across a Papa Murphy’s coupon!
Yesssssss, homemade pizza, wine & watch I Stream It All.
We have I Stream It All, a television and movie streaming service, to watch all our favorite weekly shows without the hassle of commercials or the cost of cable.
We went to Papa Murphy’s & got pizza, cheese bread & of course dessert: chocolate chip cookie dough.
Went home, popped the pizza & bread in the oven.
Turned on I Stream It All to catch up on Greenleaf, Underground & Billions.
After 19 years together, our dating takes on a different meaning & look. We do what benefits us for the day/night. So if that means picking up dinner & sitting in front of the TV enjoying our favorite shows together, than it’s a date night in.
All I really care about is being with the hubby and spending quality time together.
When it comes to date night for you & your spouse, do what’s best for y’all at the time. As long as you & your spouse is happy, I’ll say that’s a successful date!

I hope you ate their cookie dough raw. It is so good that way (although still good if cooked).
Alicia Taylor says
No judgement here, I currently have 16 bottles of wine in the house. And pizza sounds good for dinner. I’m feeling inspired.
Rebecca Bryant says
Date nights at home are the best. We enjoy a good meal and a good movie when we can.
Anitra | The Mom On the Move says
I need to check out I Stream It All. We ditched cable and I’ve been looking for alternatives to binge or favorite shows. Sounds like a great app.
Jenny says
We usually go out to dinner for a date night. That’s like twice a year though, lol
Ashley says
Sometimes we are too tired to go out for date night. But we try to make time for each other no matter what!
Reesa Lewandowski says
I swear thank goodness for date nights at home!!!! We are both so tired that the thought of venturing out into public is painful!
Claudia Krusch says
I love to have date night at home. We like to treat ourselves and have a nice meal delivered and watch movies all night.
Stephanie Jeannot says
That still sounds like a nice time; home and all. Good for you for still finding time to date each other.
Still Dating My Spouse says
Thanks Stephanie! Yes, it’s a requirement for us. We get cranky if we don’t date LOL
Still Dating My Spouse says
Yesssss nothing like delivery and movies LOL
Still Dating My Spouse says
Reesa, so you definitely understand. LOL
Still Dating My Spouse says

Still Dating My Spouse says

Anitra it is a great service. We are able to watch it on the TV, cellphones, and tablets. Definitely try it.
Still Dating My Spouse says

Still Dating My Spouse says

Melanie says
My husband has school two nights a week. It doesn’t allow for a lot of time for us to spend together. Papa Murphy’s sounds like a great meal for a date night at home.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
Awesome. Let me tell you how much I love date nights in. Here’s the thing about staying in on date night: The hubs and I don’t have to get dressed up (which we hate).
Muna Kenny says
Hubby and I, enjoy our date night at home. Good food, a movie, and a soothing conversation. Going out at times is a pain with all that traffic in New York!
Emily says
That looks like a really good dinner! My husband and I try to have a date night once a month, but sometimes we cannot actually get out of the house. In those situations we do a date night at home and always enjoy it. Just making time for each other is key.
SHELLEY R ZUREK says
I had never heard of stream it all and went to look at their website. Seriously, I would switch right now but I was wondering…do they have Sports?
TColeman says
This looks like such an amazing date night. Looks perfect to me!
Jeni Hawkins says
I love the at home date night. It is so amazing to just stay home.
gingermommyrants says
I love to make our own pizza. It is always so delicious when it is fresh from the oven. It is great for date night at home.
Lisa Bristol says
Sometimes it is nice to stay at home for date night. I will have to try making homemade pizza next weekend. It looks so delicious.
Sarah says
Papa Murphy’s has awesome pizza! I can’t remember what it’s called but the one with artichoke is amazing.
Janis @MommyBlogExpert says
Having been married quite awhile, I know what you mean about being too tired to go out! Love this date nite idea of having pizza and wine at home splurging on that raw cookie dough for dessert while streaming a good movie.
Toni | Boulder Locavore says
Well, I think at home is always the best place to date.. You get to be creative with what food you have in the fridge and enjoy each other more as it is more comfy in pajamas!
katrina gehman says
looks like a great date night to me. i love pizza and a night in.
Sherry says
My husband and I like to catch up on our shows as well. We usually do this on Sundays when we can just sit back and relax.
