I absolutely love spending quality time with the hubs. Whether it’s watching a movie, going out on the town, or staying in and playing board games– my love tank is fullest when we’re together. So how do you work this into your proposal? If you and your significant other lead busy lives and maybe sometimes have a difficult time penciling in the time, make it a point to build up to your proposal with these ideas!

1. Date Night. This may seem dumb to mention, but have actually date nights are important. While this may consist of take out and time on the couch most of the time, it’s important to have time together out and about. If this is something you maybe haven’t done in a while, plan a special date out just for the two of you. This doesn’t mean your proposal has to be public, but it’s a good way to remind her that you love being out with her before you pop the question.

2. Do something she likes. Maybe your quality time is usually spent watching sports games when she’d like to go see a musical. Make her feel special by doing something she loves to do. Is she a talker? Take her out to dinner with no distractions where you guys can have one-on-one conversation about everything she can possibly think of. This will let her know how much you appreciate her, and how you really are willing to compromise now and later on once the vows have been exchanged.

3. Say “No” to pressure. Take the pressure off of your sweetie and plan the dates, or at least one. Make sure it centers around what she wants to do and make sure you give her your attention. This is what quality time is all about– spending time with each other.

What do you and your sweetie like to do for quality time?
