At the beginning of a relationship, date night might mean putting on a cute outfit, heading out to a cool restaurant and engaging in some interesting conversation every Friday night.
Once you have a handful of years of marriage under your belt, date nights start looking a little different and happening with less frequency. Changes may include different attire (yoga pants), different venues (the couch) and different topics of conversation (the Costco shopping list).
Below, we’ve gathered 17 funny tweets that sum up the reality of date night as a husband or wife.
My husband asked if I wanted to go on a date & then we laughed & laughed & went to Costco.

Last night I had a date night with my husband, and it was great to talk about what groceries we need, how our physical bodies are deteriorating and the acceptable ways to fold shit in a completely different setting which also cost us money

Shower, make dinner for kids, try to put make up on, get kid a snack, try to put make up on again, do my hair, referee sibling fight, get dressed.

Marriage is basically just texting each other "Idk" when asked about dinner until one of you finally says "fuck it, let's go to Chili's".
