Pre-wedding planning, we would hug& kiss, cook dinner together, go on a walk or run errands together, then watch our favorite shows. Now that we're so busy planning the wedding, we hug & kiss, then figure out what to eat for dinner (I usually have a protein shake, he eats something real) then we work on wedding projects until it's time for bed. I can't wait to go back to the old routine!

We usually chat then cook dinner. Sometimes we go for a walk. Then we usually cook dinner together.
My hubby isn't home everyday, but on the days he is home as soon as we walk in the door we give each other a kiss. Then, I usually like to catch up on my e-mail and all that. Then, we'll usually start working on dinner, or figure out where we are eating.
We do a mix of these things. Usually we make dinner together and then talk about our days while eating. Then I usually go to my computer for a while to catch up on emails while he watches a baseball game. Sometimes we go for a walk a little after dinner with our dog, while other times we'll light candles and catch up on one of our favorite tv shows (like True Blood!) in bed. We are mega nerds and spend most of our nights together at home like hermits. We usually save the smoochin' for later hehe.
We always chat right when we get home, maybe go to the gym, then we always have dinner together :)
We have a smooch and say hello :) We'll normally walk the dogs which is our catch up time. A lot of nights we have something on, like dinner at the parentals, or he has a footy game or I have a dancing lesson. Otherwise I cook while he plays on the computer, and we meet up in front of the TV to eat and watch something :) He generally likes his alone time when he first gets home, so I've learnt to not bombard him as soon as I walk in the door, but to be patient and he'll come out of his room later on :) We eat late so it's normally shower and then bed time after that...I do like nights at home!
He usually has dinner ready when I get home so we eat together. Then we sit and watch tv (and I'm on my computer). Then we go to the gym together. But I do try to get him to take walks with me. We both enjoy the time just to talk with no distractions, but it's hard to get him out the door!
We have a routine, but its the best in the little time we have together.
I make supper for Mr.Flamingo (since hes still sleeps)
we eat together, then watch some movies or tv shows.
then he gets ready for work...
We only have one car, so one of us picks the other person up from work, depending on the day. We usually catch up on our days briefly on the drive home. When we get home, we usually chat for a couple of minutes, while we get ready to go to the gym. Not the most romantic tradition, but it works for us.
we don't live together, but we do see each other every day. I always get a great big hug and kiss and then we sit down and talk about the day and discuss our plans for the evening.
We catch up on our days as soon as we see each other and then sometimes we'll both go and workout. He will go to the gym while I go running or do my workout videos at home. Then we make dinner together and eat it while watching TMZ. haha Then we just hang out together and watch our shows or go on our computers or work on one of our DIYs for the wedding. We are big fans of quality time at home :)
We always have dinner together. There's no way to avoid conversation when your right next to someone for at least 20 minutes lol!
After dinner we do yardwork or housework, and then watch TV together or go for a walk.

We have a big hug session and chat while we make dinner. Usually this includes a qucik walk around the block with the dog too, so it's a little bit of most of those options.
We always reconnect, physically and emotionally, that's what's key.
We catch up on each other's day and take our dogs for a walk. We also eat dinner and watch tv together.
Lately, we've been working on remodeling one of the bathrooms in the house and redoing a couple of the other rooms... so we've been busy busy busy. I'll be glad when we can just hang out in the evenings and relax.
We catch up a bit, and then play on our computers or watch TV for a bit to decompress from the day. We like to spend time in each other's vicinity, but usually my husband needs some un-winding time before he's ready for a long conversation.
Well I usually get home first but when Mr. FF is already home he opens the door for me and I give him the biggest hug and kiss. Then I follow him around the house like a little lost puppy catching up on the day. I miss him so much I have to be around him RIGHT THEN!! HA HA
FI picks me up at the train station every day, since he works locally and I work in DC. Of late he usually listens to my whining and complaining as we drive home. I try to wrap that up by the time we actually get home! Then we eat together and then will either work out together or on most days, watch something on our DVR.

He usually gets home at least an hour after me ... so I try to have dinner started or ready to get started when he gets home. (Stuff ready for the grill if he's cooking since he is the grill master, haha) ... We also used to kiss when we saw each other -- but we realized that it was just a quick peck and back to what we were doing -- so now we make sure we stand up and get a good solid hug in. I think this happened after I lived away for three months for work -- the thing I missed most was hugging, just like the regular human touch ... sounds weird, I know, but now it's a hug and a kiss! After that it's mostly a work out here, a walk there, cook and eat dinner, watch some TV, work on our computers, talk to friends/family, work on weddings stuff. I had a post before about our No TV Tuesdays and Wedding Wednesdays -- they are still going strong for us and we love them!
We dont have an every-day ritual but we usually kiss hello and chat for a little bit. He gets off work around 4 and I dont get home til 6 so sometimes he is taking a nap so we will lay in bed and talk and then get up. We watch tv together alot, so we will do that and figure out dinner (usually followed by a trip to the grocery store) and have dinner. We eat really late, usually around 9 or 10 (sometimes 11!)
It sounds weird, but he usually sits in the bathroom with me while I shower after getting home from work/the gym. He beats me home because he works literally a block away from our apartment, and I won't get home until 7-ish, so he'll sit in the bathroom while I shower so that we can talk and catch up. It's kind of our time to hear about each other's day and to vent about anything going on at work.
If I skip the gym, we'll cook (or, microwave our Smart Ones) dinner together and catch up.
Then it's usually TV/relaxation for the rest of the night.
We often still have work to do or errands to run when we get home...but if either of us gets home second and doesn't hug and kiss the other, it's usually met with some pouting. I will say, that we usually end up unwinding with the TV on..though often it's bkgd noise.
Most often than not we carpool the 45 min ride home together. We chat about our day or if some days I just need quiet he'll drive and I'll read. When we get home we have dinner and watch a netflicks together. Then we both hang out on our computers for a bit and then it's bed time. Not too exciting but it's good for us :)

We don't live together yet but will very soon!
My own after work routine usually includes a stop at a grocery store on the way home (I can walk home now, but won't be able to after we move). When I get home, I immediately remove my work clothes and put on something comfy. I make my lunch for the following day and some sort of dinner (not much of a dinner eater). Fairly often I watch Jeopardy with one or more of my roommates, then go see FI for a while (he lives two blocks away), or we talk online. Then I get ready for bed and read until I'm ready to go to sleep. I try my hardest to be in bed by 9:00, or 10:00 at the latest, because I get up at 4:30/5:00 a.m. to work out in the mornings.
FI rides his bike to and from work and will go on longish bike rides after leaving work a couple days a week. He gets home, showers, eats dinner, and usually spend the rest of the evening on the computer or reading, much like I do. He doesn't go to bed as early as I do but says it will probably be good for him to do so once we live together.
AW I clicked that we don't live together. I'm curiuos to see how this all works out when he finally gets out of the army! I'm THINKING that we will go to the gym, make a light dinner, watch some tv, and do necessary household things like laundry and shower. I can't imagine it'll be THAT much different than what I do now.
PS, sminerva21, I think it's really cute that your FI sits with you and chats with you while you shower! I don't think mine has that willpower...he'd be annoyed that he couldn't join me!
Everyday when he gets home from work (he is normally home a little after me) we sit on the couch and talk for a few minutes then he showers and I'll either throw a load of laundry in or do some little stuff around the house, or finish dinner and we will eat and talk some more. We never run outta stuff to talk about. :) After that we either go on a bike ride, take our dogs for a walk, or just watch tv.
Usually we make dinner together, or I make dinner while he does a couple of chores around the house, then we sit and eat and talk with some TV on in the background, then we either play a game or watch a movie, then we go to bed. :)
On a typical day, the first time I'll see FI is a quick hello at the gym. He will almost finished when i get there. I'll see him again at home around 6:30-7, where, post-shower, we'll make dinner (scoop from a massive vat of salad in the fridge and cook for who ever needs cooking for. I'm vegan and he's not, so I alternate cooking something for one of us, and microwaving leftovers for the other).
We'll watch TV for a bit, but right now there's nothing on, so he'll go play on the computer and I'll flip through a magazine or work on a project. We're up early, so it's bedtime before you know it.
Our schedules are very different. My hard-working FI gets up at 12:30 AM and must be at work by 2 AM. I work duing the day. To make matters worse, his days of are Tuesdays and Saturdays and during the fall and spring semesters, I have off weekends. In the summer I have it made, I only have to be on campous Mondays and Wednesdays and work from home with an online class in-between. Darn difficult to gt readjusted to getting up at 6 am and working five days a week when the fall semester starts. So when we do get time together, we spend almost every moment together.
*sigh* Now I am lonely.... =D
My fiance and I don't live together right now (#7). So when we're both home, we talk on MSN with each other (hence I voted #1). However, we will be spending a week of quality time alone together in August, and I'm looking forward to cooking and eating with him, and going on walks in the ravine (#2, #4). =)
And I wouldn't say no to some "passionate embracing" (#3). ;)
First thing everyday after work is walk/play with our German Shepherd since she's alone all day. If it's nice out - long walk/play ball or if it's rainy out (basically everyday in the summer... gotta love FL) then we play tug-of-war, etc with her inside. All the while we're using talking - about our day, plans for the evening/week, etc.
Since my fiance and I commute together every day, we do our share of "catching up on each other's day" in the car during our commute. When we get home, we usually make something for dinner, and then either run errands or take our dogs for a walk.
We love our TV time. We like to just relax and do nothing most nights. I have an hour commute to and from work and he works 9-10 hour days every day so by the time we are at home and together all we want to do is figure out dinner and veg out all night. Some people might find that horribly boring but we love that time together. Part of his night is also spent managing his fantasy baseball team on my computer, which is when I watch my DVRed episodes of wedding shows.
Mr acts weird if I don't make it to give him a kiss and hug when I get home (he usually beats me home and practically has dinner on the table when I get there). Sometimes it really hectic with the kids and putting dinner on the table, etc. Usually at dinner we catch up with each other, although we talk a lot throughout the day. To relax we either watch tv together or sit on the deck with a glass of wine and talk.
I usually pick him up since we work 6 blocks away from each other. When we get home, we both go to our computers, check emails, etc and unwind. His unwinding is sometimes a video game, mine is facebook and laying on the bed. It used to bother me that he wouldn't talk much after work, but he just needs time to switch from work mode to home mode and relax.
Then one of us will cook dinner and we'll eat and watch tv or a movie or something. Usually he's got some work to do (he's got a lot of projects going on right now at work) and I've usually got schoolwork so we'll do that too.
we watch tv or play video games or what not together but we also have dinner and talk, too. FI has a bit of a commute so he calls me on his way home and we do our venting abotu work and such then, that way by the time he gets home it's just "us" time :O)

Do you guys have a ritual of sorts when one or both of you gets home, where you catch up on each other's day? Or do you eat together? Or do you passionately embrace and lock lips?
I guess I should create a poll... but would love to hear how you guys reunite after a day apart! I'm realizing that it's such an important part of the day, and so I'd like to have more of a "plan" when I get home from work. :-)
