How to Encourage Your Husband to Stay In on Friday Nights
Introduction
Spending quality time with your partner is important, but I used to struggle with my husband's weekly poker game with his friends every Friday night. Here's how I creatively managed to change our routine and bring us closer together.
The Challenge
For years, it bothered me that my husband spent every Friday night playing poker. Whenever I mentioned that I’d like us to spend the evening together, he insisted it was his only time to unwind with friends.
Initial Attempts
I tried various approaches to get him to choose me over poker. Initially, I proposed staying home for an intimate evening, which occasionally worked. However, he soon caught on to my intentions. I also attempted to lure him with events like action movies and car shows, but there weren’t always appealing options available.
A New Strategy
After six months of failed attempts, I decided to try a different tactic. I figured if I could master poker myself, I could challenge him to a game. If I won, he’d give up his poker night; if he won, I’d pay for a trip to Las Vegas. I dedicated time to learning Texas Hold'em, practiced online, and even visited local casinos to hone my skills.
The Challenge
Feeling confident, I proposed the challenge to my husband. As expected, it triggered an argument, emphasizing his need for guy time. I seized this moment, suggesting he let me observe a game. He declined, citing “players only” rules. So, I provoked him by questioning how difficult poker could be, leading him to challenge me to a game.
The Outcome
We agreed that if he won, I’d pay for his solo Vegas trip, and if I won, he’d quit his Friday games. We each started with $100 in chips. Despite losing, my husband was impressed with my poker skills. As a result, he decided to stop his Friday games, and now we enjoy playing together at the casino.
Conclusion
Instead of separating us, poker became an activity we both enjoy, strengthening our relationship. Sometimes, embracing your partner's hobby can lead to unexpected joy and deeper connection.
