we don't always have a date night, in fact its usually once a month besides a temple night. But most night if we're both home, we'll turn on a movie, Moses will usually be working on his computer, and i'll be either cutting, mending or doing something work related, and we'll talk and or just be there in the room together, and that works for us.
