Best thing you've ever done with your S/O? (wife, marriage, husband)

[TheJagMan]

This is kind of a two part insight...At marriage retreats, they generally ask the best things you've ever done as a couple. Sounds like a great question and please post yours...

After hearing two dozen responses...It became apparent that all of the people who didn't answer, "just hanging" or "laying in bed together" and did answer an activity such as going on a cruise, skiing, etc, seemed that they could enjoy the activity alone or with the company of a friend. Another words, the S/O didn't make the activity between. After talking to one couple about their cruise that was the best thing they ever did, they seemed to like the fact they could meet and hang out with other people. Thoughts?

wull, I guess you have to take into consideration, that some people might be embarrassed to answer, just hanging out in bed together, I know I would...so, my answer while smiling to myself in memories....would be, someplace that we went that I thought was romantic/and a spiritually moving event...

Is that what your looking for?

If your marriage isn't the greatest of all your relationships....setting a special vacation just for the both of you could spell trouble.

I find that a group of people on a trip would work out much better in the sense that you two are not the only one's together. You can hang out with all your friends and then escape to be alone for some of the vacation.

If your are best friends with your spouse and get along great then by all means find that special trip alone together.

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our cruise together and we most certainly did not have any interest in meeting or hanging out with other people - we weren't there to socialize, but to be with each other with no outside pressures from friends and family, work, etc. We had a blast.

Like any other friendship, if your marriage is strong, you'll enjoy one another's company wherever you go. You can only get so much mileage out of hanging out or lying around, you need to get out and do stuff together as a couple. Shares experiences and make memories together. I also believe in spontaneity, because sometimes there is too much of a build-up when planning a getaway. Try not to plan it to death or too far ahead.

Trips we've taken together be it a long road trip or a planned vacation including flying somewhere - but either way, anything done together is usually fun and we make the best of it.

Um, went out for dinner...laughed a bunch...went to a casino and won a lot of money and then came home and had fantastic sex for a few hours.

Otherwise, when I was married...my honeymoon. Going out for breakfast, laughing and talking...working on a crossword puzzle together from the newspaper. Getting tipsy on margaritas while eating crab for lunch and going back to the beach house for a nice afternoon romp and a long nap.
