When Married Couples Go On A Date July 22, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — allrileyedup @ 6:08 am

It is a moonless beach night. The only lights on the water flicker down from the pier. The waves crash in succession, a rolling welcoming call to romance to those relaxing upon the darkened shore.

She: Isn’t it so nice out?

He: Yeah. Doesn’t it feel great to just lie down in the sand and look up at the palm trees?

She: They’re beautiful. It reminds me of when we went to Tahiti. (She attempts to snuggle) That was such a fun time.

He: Yeah, remember when we tried to go on that sunset sail and you were all sick and gripping the rails and turning green and I was like, “Someone get this woman a bucket! A bucket!” (Laughs) Remember that?

She: (Sighing) Yes. I remember.

    So did they bring you a bucket?

  6. Marcia Says:

    I think a small bucket filled with empty bottles (or beer bottle or two refilled with water and recapped - would be a “romantic” return gift for the husband.

    That there is true love…
    In a bucket…

    Men can always find THAT part of a good story to point out.

    Unromantic freaks, they are.

    Veronica: Yes, they brought me a bucket, and my husband even held my hair back and took care of relieving me of the bucket once I had used it. He has also never eaten paella since.

    It’s those special shared moments that really make a marriage…
