Gallery: You Don't Have The Money Or Energy To Date (Your Husband). Here's What To Do.

When you were single, dating was fun. It also seems like a million years ago. Back when you were able to get at least six hours of sleep every night. Back when a man paid for at least most of them. Back when your weekends were when you could curl up in the bed and read a book, not run errands to the store and do a million activities with your kids.

Now that you’re a wife (and quite possibly a mom), dating seems like a thing of the past. Problem is, it shouldn’t be. Ask any marriage counselor and they’ll tell you that dating your mate should be a top priority. You are able to get some quality time in. It improves your communication. It also increases the chances of having sex (remember sex?!).

But what do you do when you don’t have much money and definitely not the energy levels to sit (awake) in a movie for two hours or to go dancing at a local club?

Apply these methods. Then report back. Oh, and leave some suggestions under this too! In case there's some tips that we missed.
