Yes, I have been married to the same man for 13 years and still don't know the answer to these questions and that's not for lack of trying on my part .. how you would want to celebrate your anniversary with your wife???

    Holding hands,quiet walks or evenings on the couch.
    Try taking him to his favorite restaurant and then just a relaxing evening after.

    A harley ride through the hills. Stop for a nice dinner. Then home for ice cream on the deck. Soak in the hot tub and see where that takes us from there.

    BJ and beer usually does the trick or whatever type of alcoholic beverage of choice

    you could even spice it up and add in a strip tease before the BJ

    and ofcourse the dinner first

    and btw Total congrats on the 13 yrs :flowerforyou:

    Um, you have 8 kids. Or did I read that wrong? I'd say you've got the romance thing nailed down, so to speak.

    13 years and 8 kids?

    Child-free house, steak dinner, and rarely (or never) performed sexual favors.

    Resist the urge to make men more complicated than they really are. :flowerforyou:

    If you can't afford to get away for a week. How about getting a sitter for one n ight. Book a room. Make dinner reservations. Buy some lingerie.

    I like when my wife does things that she hates but knows I like. For instance by her offering to take me to a chinese food restaurant, shows she really cares about me. Also gotta end the night right. :)

    Go out for a nice dinner and drinks somewhere and dress up extra nice/sexy for him. He'll walk tall and parade you around feeling like he's the luckiest man in the world. And as previously suggested, when you get home give him some extra loving/attention and he's putty in your hands. :wink:

    You could bring me a sammich afterwards, rub my feet and wash the bedding...would that be pushing it? Cause I can do without the foot rub... :tongue:

    Romance is sort of individual. One could also ask whether or not you really want to be romantic.

    For example, you could arrange for a kick butt time with paint ball (if you enjoy it), and he might think that's an awesome anniversary. You could of course follow it up with a shower and...stuff, etc.
