What do you & DH 'do' together?

How do you and your DH spend your time together? Do you have shared hobbies? Whenever you spend time, just the two of you, what do you guys do?

We both really like to play pool, we have a local billiards hall we go to regularly.

Also we love to take our dogs to the park or for walks around the neighborhood and we take them to my parents farm sometimes as well.

Allthough Im probably not a good source to ask we do pretty much everything together so Im having a hard time finding things we dont do together........?

We have "date night" every Friday or Saturday (depending on our schedule), which is really nice.  It usually means dinner and a movie.  We also enjoy walking together, camping, mini-golf, flea markets, sailing and paintball.  We still have our different hobbies so we each have "me time".  I belong to a local choir, for instance and he spends time with online friends playing World of Warcraft.  We have a fairly good balance between togetherness and individual activities.

it varies a lot - but one thing that we've started doing together (and will keep doing until we TTC in the next couple years) is play on a co-ed softball team near us.  we both really enjoy it and the people we've met there.

We train for triathlons, go out for dinner, go to the farmer's market, wine tasting, beer tasting, watch Big Brother (DH's idea LOL). That's just off the top of my head. We do have some separate hobbies, like DH brews beer so I sew or read if I'm home while he's doing that.
My babies have fur :-)

Watch TV, play Rock Band, walk the dog, cook meals, clean up meals, go out to dinner, play tennis, go bowling, go to movies, visit family, get together with friends, and talk talk talk. We're both the kind of people who never shut up.

We spend a lot of our free time together and I guess are easily amused... we don't 'do' anything too earth-shattering. We do our chores and errands together, we go to the library, play board games, watch TV, go window shopping for furniture, ride our bicycles, play with the dog, once in a great while we'll go to a bar and get rip roaring drunk just the two of us. We talk a lot too... we love to watch political shows with the pause button handy and just babble away about the topics discussed.

We recently started playing tennis together (still too bad to keep score!)  We take the dog for walks, travel a lot, go to fetivals together, out to restaurants, cookouts with friends, camping, boating, fishing, rent movies, clean house, dinner with out parents.

While we both still have our personal hobbies and time with just our friends - we do a lot together. Play with our dogs, take walks, hike, camp, watch movies, garden. I'm also really lucky in that my H is usually willing to try just about anything once - so in addition to random activities, I try and schedule one activity that we do together once a week to make sure we have consistent 'us' time. So far he's tried yoga and pottery classes and found that he really likes them both. So sometimes we do yoga once a week and sometimes we do pottery once a week for a multi-week session. We're now talking about doing dance lessons together.

Often we mean to do something in the evening (go out, do a project etc) and then we get to talking and before ya know it, it's way past our bed-time.  We're not super chatty in general by nature but for some reason, we always find something to talk about that can really get us going.

Everything.

Really, we travel, go exploring, go find new places to eat, watch movies and TV, run errands, sit around talking, go kayaking, play video games.

We have our alone time too but almost everything we do alone we also have done together.

We play board games in excess, go geocaching, go for hikes & walks, we do our little errands and go shopping together, play wii (though, really not often lately), watch movies, find new recipes to try....
 
mostly quiet, relaxed stuff, but it's good.

Honestly, not a lot together. We are very independent with our own hobbies, our work and we generally need to make plans to do a day together.

Together we: shop, watch movies, go to church, go out on day trips or out around our city, out to eat.

Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building block of our universe. If I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem.

We're married, so we do everything together. But something we do that's special for us is cook. If we're eating at home (which is about 4 times a week), we cook together. It one of the things that helps us stay connected and in tune with our marriage. So if we are not having fun cooking and arguing, then we know something is wrong and work it out.

we love messing with the garden together, a unwind ritual after work. 

watch movies, play Wii, drive around or tromp through the woods looking for good photographs, occasionally play pool and some friends have talked us into bowling a few times.

now that the newness is gone, we're trying to branch out -- we've signed up for a yoga class next month and I'm working on him to take a dance class

We're both huge gamers, so most of the time we do that, either together or separately.  We also go out to eat at our favorite restaurant once a week.  On Saturday nights we play Dungeons and Dragons together, but I'm not sure if that counts since it's not JUST us, but a group of friends as well.

We both love movies so we spend a lot of time either at the movie theater or watching movies at home.

We take a lot of long walks and we also like to go hiking.

 We are both foodies, so we love to go out and eat.

 We also spend time together doing home improvement, shopping type stuff.

And, last but not least, we like to do creative things together like write a play together or make a movie together.

We're both triathletes, so sometimes we train together.  We go for walks, to museums and art galleries, out to dinner, concerts.

-Kayaking and swimming.

-Tennis.

-Water volleyball/court volleyball (depending on the time of year).

-Taking walks.

-Rock-climbing (that one is a really good trust builder).

-Playing music (I play violin and piano, DH plays guitar, drums, and is teaching himself piano with a little help from me if he asks).

-We have a "date night" every couple of weeks.

-Watch movies from NetFlix.

We do really almost everything together. But we recently started excercising together. He doesn't want his butt kicked to bad when he joins the marines and I don't want to be a blob.
