When I have the money, I like to take my boyfriend to lunch and to get a massage. He used to think it was kind of cheesy because he wears a fluffy white robe at the spa, but he always feels a million times more relaxed. Otherwise, we usually just curl up on the couch and watch movies, go to the drive in, or ride up to the top of the mountains and watch the world below us. Luckily, we have a really great relationship, so it's mostly just the need to unwind from work related stress.
We'll cook together and chat, that is probably our main connection. We often go off on day trips, the Jersey shore, botanical gardens, just some place we can hang out and talk.
We try to spend an hour or so each day, just to be together, something special, we just hang. Once a week or so we go out to eat.
We also try to travel. My family moved back to Sicily so I ended up buying a place over there, so when time permits me go back to Sicily and there the world seems to stop for us without both of our work interfering. That is the extreme, but maybe just getting away would be good.
