I don't do "guy's nights." Some guys really need them; go out and shoot hoops, play cards, or just hang out with the guys - it hasn't been my thing in marriage. I bring this up as a reminder to figure out what works for you and your marriage. I do need time away at points, I know this, Jen knows this, so I make it happen and she is fine with it. In a similar manner, Jen is the one in our relationship to let us know when we need a date night.
Many things in a better marriage are not defined by a universal "best." Who should handle the finances, who should do which chores, how often do you need to get away, etc... It depends - but it is dependent on both of you. It is not only about knowing when you need some girl/guy time, it is about understanding the needs of your spouse (and supporting them).
That said, tonight is pizza night-movie night. A 17 year tradition in our marriage - it is what works for us on Friday nights!
