Quote:I guess it depends. I think it is extremely healthy for you and your significant other to have a girls night or guys night. For example, going out this weekend to Ginnie Springs for a guys trip. Obviously this happens a lot less than before, but it isn't necessary for husband and wife to be joined at the hip for everything and honestly it probably isn't good for the relationship either. But different strokes for different folks.

 

 

Quote:Agreed. Everybody's different. I play golf every other weekend and my wife has no issues with it. If started to try to push it to every weekend, she might take issue.


She goes out and does her girlie things as well and I'm glad she does. IMHO, you NEED to get out with other people occasionally.

 

Just to be clear, I wasn't saying having a guys/girls night every once in a while is bad, but in context of the thread... doing those types of things regularly (more than once a week) is not a good thing.... assuming you care about having a long-lasting marriage.

 

Also, day-time activities like golf or other sports are not the same as going out to socialize.
