No girl stop second guessing yourself! This is cute, if he doesn’t like it you can take me next time lol but fr though he seems like he just likes being with his wife, paint and sip is fun it’s a vibe and dinner after give yourself some credit yall are gonna have a blast

I think that’s cute and thoughtful

Adorable! And it sounds like you guys are cute and like you don’t need to doubt anything. But if you’re nervous about his response or how he percieves it just say in advanced - hey babe I miss date nights with you and planned something light and fun and maybe silly for us to try and to get out and do something different! I’m so excited to have some fun with you Sometimes my bae just needs to know what my hopes are and then he will feed into it and play his part 😂 if I want a specific reaction or participation for something that is more my thing than his I just tell him what I want 😅 and I think that’s helpful for both of us! He wants to make me happy and sometimes the guys just need to know what part to play in advanced 🤪

Sometime I literally say- this is how I want you to react before I say something 😂 sounds crazy maybe but it’s like telling someone ‘I don’t want advice, I want you to listen’. But it’s - okay I want to tell you something and I want you to be excited with me! Or xyz…

My husband and I have done those and they're a lot of fun! Have you spoken to him about wanting to go out together? Maybe he's feeling the same way and will be excited!

Aww... he's not there to paint, he's there to hang with you. ❤️ Love it, and he will love it. Be your silly, fun self, and he will suggest you do it every weekend. If you're a nervous wreck, he'll dislike seeing you that way. If you aren't sure he'll like the activity, you can always try something else next time. Metalworking, glass blowing, beekeeping, survival skills class, axe throwing, smash rooms, personality test workshop... things that are outside both of your comfort zones are great, but the most important thing is to bond by having a shared experience, which you can do anywhere (including in your own kitchen!). I hope you have a great time! 🍷

I told him I got tickets for us to go to a couples event and he asked what kind and I said was extremely vague lol Because I don’t want there to be any expectations 😂 But he basically said ok bet lol He lived and worked in Brazil for 2 years and he always talks about the BBQ there so I made dinner plans to go to Fogo De Chao after the paint&sip which he’s never been to so I felt like that would be a nice treat. I wasn’t sure if the paint and sip was something you do with your girls as opposed to your spouse so I’m happy to hear that yall think it’s a great idea 😅. I think my excitement is making me a nervous wreck

I used to teach paint&sip classes and plenty of couples came for date night. Most of them seemed to really enjoy the experience together. I think it’s neat you took the initiative to plan something fun for you two. Hope you have so much fun!

Me and my husband just do date nights at home as we aren't very socially interested in going out since we have 3 kids

Sounds amazing! But don’t take all the date night pressure on yourself. We did alphabet dating and worked though the alphabet. My favourites were B - went on a boat ride. L - watched Les Mis, K - Korean BBQ, S - Star gazing, p - painting following a YouTube tutorial. We’ve had a riot. You’re right, he might hate it. But he can then counter with something and you can make it into a little game. Besides you’ll be hanging out and sipping so what’s not to like. We have also loved using date night questions. We’ve found lists online and bought some like questions for humans. It just gives you something to talk about other than the day to day. Some of them quite cheesy, but we still have a laugh. I love that you’re doing it. I recommend dating to all couples. It’s a game changer if intimacy, friendship, relationship, etc.

@Morgan - I love this approach. Telling them what you need before going into it. Think we could stand to do this with all our relationships.

He will love it mine is a smoker we went to a smoked n paint n it was fun

Before I found out we were having another baby I had us down for a byob spinning class with pottery lol
