That might work. Assuring her she's more important to you than football and being willing to watch something you both enjoy will go even further. ;o) Amy Smith wrote on Facebook:

Popcorn is cheap. So movie marathons are fun and can be really inexpensive. Game night! If you have board games, make a date to play them together. Pack sandwiches (or split a $5.00 sub from Subway) and have a picnic at a park, in your back yard, on your bed. IDK. I think planning and intention are more important than what you're actually doing. That's the thing about dating. It's not about where you go, it's about getting to spend time growing closer to someone you love. That doesn't cost anything. It doesn't require that things go optimally or conditions to be perfect." More from Facebook:

Instead of going out we will feed the kids and put the little ones to bed at 7:30 -ish and then put on a movie in our bdrm for the older kids. My hubby and I then prepare a nice meal for the 2 of us and enjoy with minimal interruptions because the kids know that this is our "date time". It usually works out great!!! :)" This is a great comment from Facebook if you have lots of kiddos running around:
