What things do you do with your spouse? What things do you do with your friends? Why don't you do the things you do with your friends with your spouse?

We work opposite shifts and rarely get to spend time together, so when we get the chance, yes, we spend it together. Other than that, we're both too tired to do anything with other people.

My spouse and I spend a lot of time at home together. We watch DVD's and talk over coffee. WE got out to eath once and awhile.
Separate: he plays tennis at least four times per week, usually more.
I go to small groups and sometimes visit at friend's houses.
It is important to meet your social needs with some people other than your spouse. For women, I think it is important to have some women friends. If you try to get everything from one person, you will never be happy. It puts too much pressure on the other person.
However, I don't really like or believe in spouses going "out" like dancing or to places people usually go to pick people up, without the other person. I just don't think it is right and if you need to do that, there is something missing in the relationship.
Take care!

We work all of the time. But after that we are home together. We indulge ourselves by dining out once a month at upscale restaraunts. We like fine dining (no children) and wine tasting. We watch and go to sporting events and we travel. I only visit with friends once in a while for the occassional niece or nephew birthday, and at that time I can get all caught up with what's been going on with our different lives. Once in a while he will go golfing and I will get a manicure or my hair done.

A little of both and I do the same things with my spouse as I do with my friends except he doesn't always like shopping, he'll do it though.

We do everything together; we are very attached to each other. In the rare times I go somewhere without him, I end up sitting around missing him. When we socialize we would prefer to do it together. He is the exact same way.
I make him shop and I go to the gun range and hunting with him. It helps us both learn to enjoy new things. He says he is now a mettrosexual redneck.

We have a very close relationship. We shop together, we go everywhere together. I know he doesn't like to shop for clothes at the mall, so I shop for the clothes and he takes a couple of our children down the mall to the knife shop, etc... so he isn't in my face. I feel safer when he is with me and the children and we have always done this in our marriage. We go on dates and have that special time together also.

Both. I game with My friends, or go to seminars that go with My hobbies. My wife will take days to herself, much needed decompression time from the neverending job of mom and wife.
Together - we go on dates, or weekends together, or watch tv and kibbitz about it, watch movies.
Because we are still individual people with individual preferences, there are some things the other doesn't WANT to do. And it keeps a sense of self alive.

We travel together, we do projects together...like planting the garden. We prepare meals together.
But we have some friends we share, some who are separate (like he has a guys only poker game) and I have my female friends.
We actually have two homes because of work location, so we only spend 4 nights a week together, so we only sometimes share a bed!

We like 4 wheeling, flying - mostly him, reading, going out for drinks. I like dancing he does not therefore I go out with the girls about once a month. I like sea food he does not so again when the girls talk about going to a sea food restaurant I join them.
Why bother tagging along with him/her if you know your going to be bored? We just find something else to do. We always communicate with each other to make sure we do not ruin each others plans - first come first serve.

Most things we do together cuz we have a lot of common interests. We used to go to the race track together to race, we go surfing together, dinners, music /book stores, movies and vacations. I go out with my friends when I want to go shopping cuz he can't stand shopping with me (LOL)! I go for a long distance run with my girlfriends cuz my husband hates running. He goes cycling with his buddies instead. He also goes out with his guy friends if they want to do a "guy's night out" kind of thing. It keeps the relationship healthy if you both allow each other to do things separately then you both have something different to talk about.
