If we doing anything it involves his parents. Either that or we'll go out to dinner which isn't that special anymore, because we do that quite often. We may go see a movie every now and then. I may hang out with a friend every few months but that's it. I'm either watching TV, on the computer or on the phone or reading a book. Me and my husband may watch TV together. We don't have any kids yet.
He wants to go to a highschool football game tonight and is always asking me to go. I hate football and it's chilly here right now. The temperatures will probably drop tonight. We are in Texas. What do you and your spouse typically do on a weekend?

His friend is a highschool football coach and he always wants to go to these sporting events and wants me to go too. I went several times last year but just didn't enjoy sitting out in the cold. Besides, I don't understand football. My husband is a sports fanatic, especially football.

GO with him - pack a sweater...marriage is about compromise - so maybe ask him to take you to a nice dinner before the game and then watch the game...
Typically we run our errands on weekends, watch TV, go to the Movies, maybe a game, to a restaurant, have a beer with friends, have friends over for BBQ, go for a walk, make a nice dinner at home and talk, play cards or boardgames etc... It is not always exciting - but that is life!

My husband and I only get every other weekend off together so whether we are going to dinner, going to the local fair (it's in town this week) or watching a movie on TV I love every single second I spend with him...the great thing about us both is that we don't need to be entertained to feel loved by one another...we have no problem sitting at home watching tv or just relaxing on the couch talking to one another and feeling completely fulfilled...
I'd go to the game and freeze my tail off (I too hate football but I love my husband) and spend some time doing what your husband loves...marriage is give and take

As long as the two of you are doing things together should be all that matters...BUT, both of you need to compromise on what it is that you should be doing. He shouldn't expect you to want to watch football all the time; what you both should be doing is taking small trips and just getting out of town. Go for a drive or for a walk. Try and find a music artist that both of you enjoy and go to a concert. There are so many things that couples can do, it's just a matter of doing it. Sometimes a partner needs to do something the other partner likes even if they don't. That is what love is all about. SACRIFICE!!!

Well, I'm not married but I have been in a relationship for a while and it is very easy for things to get "dry" in the relationship.
You could try to go to a nice concert (not anything crazy with a lot of teenagers but something geared towards adults). You could also go to a night club (geared towards the 25 and older crowd). A good idea is to host a couples only cocktail party with friends and their spouses. Also, going out to the movies is a nice outing.
Another good idea is to go to a surrounding city for the weekend just by yourselves and sight-see.
I hope that these are all helpful.... =)

funny, my spouse and i usually go to the Arizona State football games or we watch football on t.v. i'm from texas, and football is huge there, so i completely understand where your spouse is coming from. i really enjoy the games, but even if i didn't, i would want to be with my husband. how about you compromise and join him at the game on friday then do something that you want to do on saturday or sunday. you could make saturday date night, and pick a different restaurant to try every week, or something like that.

You should have him teach you about it. I think you would probably enjoy it more if you understood it.
My husband is a HUGE sports fan. His mothers first question to me was "Do you like sports?" I love sports as well, but not like he does.
We usually just hang around the house, go out to eat, sometimes we will go shopping or do a few entertaining things, we play with our dogs a lot, go over to friends houses.
We leave Sunday's for family time. We see his parents and then mine every Sunday.

It's sounds like you forgot about all the things YOU like to do. Going with him to the football game is a nice thing to do, you know he enjoys it, he wants to share it with you (men just don't seem to understand that being cold and watching men pound eachother isn't fun for everyone), but you need to find things that interest you, and then share them with him. Take him on a hike, play some video games, go out dancing, get drunk on a saturday afternoon for no special reason............... Being married is a fun and special thing, don't forget to take advantage of having a partner to do all the things you love to do with.

Anyhow what my husband and I usually do on the weekends is cook and read and play guitar and keyboards and we have 3 cats to make sure they are happy and we let them out side by our river cottage and watch them play other wise we don't do much. We are artsists and try to paint in our spare time as well..... CHEERS!

Hello well I have been married for 2 yrs. but been with my husband for 5 yrs. The times he has the weekend off we usually hang out with our friends got to a bar play pool have a couple of drinks, go bowling, dinner for two, we usually play pool though that is our hobby. When it's just night out for the two of us we go out to dinner, walk around the mall or beach, and if we stay in due to shortage of cash we buy a movie or borrow one we make dinner together or buy it and stay in cuddle in bed. Maybe you should TRY YOUR BEST to understand football I don't really understand it either but I tried understanding golf and Im telling you I didn't like it before but now I do. It's all about compromising ya know my hubby does things or he goes places we me sometimes even though he doesn't "FEEL LIKE IT" but I always remind him I go places with you or do things such as gong to the hardware store when I have major cramps or things like that anbd he recognizes it ya know I think that's how it should be even though it sucks sometimes you don't feel like doing it just do it and it will suck one time for him but he will remember "Ahhh compromising" hope this helped I hope you get the hang of football and oh take a themos with something warm scarf, gloves, coat. I really hope everything works out for you. About going out togehter why don't you try to make plans for the two of you tell him You are making plans and for him to keep his agenda open to you. hehe!

sounds to me you need to tell him how you feel and let him know that you don't like football like that. my husband doesn't want me around cause he knows I'm not a fan like him and he saids that it is bad luck. so maybe you can come up with a compromise you go to the game and then he do something you love
