Do you say grace before a meal?

The last guy I dated started to say grace after about 6 months of us seeing each other. I asked him why he started he said he always did just not in front of me because he knew I wasnt religious. We've since broke up. Not for religious reasons...lol
Went on a date over the weekend for a quick bite to eat and the gentleman did it. Just something quick and to himself.

So it got me wonder of how many people do it.

Sometimes. We are trying to teach our DD to do it, so when we don't forget (sorry God), we do.

Re: Do you say grace before a meal?

We have always say Grace at Thanksgiving dinner. That's the only time until recently.

We began saying grace every time I cook a meal. Not often...haha..

My 6 and 3 year old actually started it. Chat Icon My 6 year old started religion classes so we say a little grace before we start. Actually its funny..this is what they say.

Don't know why santa is in there but its thee prayer and I love it!Chat Icon

Nope, we're not very religious. My grandmother is, but she doesn't say grace either.

Me and my DH couldn't stop laughing after she said it. Chat Icon Of course I had to get it on video. Saving that for when she grows up.

Re: Do you say grace before a meal?

Growing up we never said it ever...but I also came from a family that wasn't super religious (my mom was Jewish and my dad was a non-practicing Catholic).

My ExH used to say it before every dinner, so when I married him I started saying it too before every dinner. I believe he still does this because our DS knows how to say Grace and I never taught him.

In my DH's family we only say it during holiday meals.

Growing up we did before every single meal, even in restaurants. I try to say it at home with the kids but we forget... a lot.

Re: Do you say grace before a meal?

We do every night, even out at restaurants etc. If we are with friends we will do a silent one to ourselves, because we have noticed it makes others uncomfortable.

Always, even at restaurants, unless we're out with friends. It's actually kind of funny, because we're not really religious. We do it for all meals we eat together too

Re: Do you say grace before a meal?

We say it if we are with my ILs.

Most nights I am fighting with a 2 year old to try to get him to stop watching Thomas and come sit and eat with us as a family. Fun times!!!!

As far as I know none of my friends do it. But maybe they are too uncomfortable to do it in front of others. Which is unfortunate if that's the case.
The guy I was seeing eventually asked me to join him. We would hold hands but I wouldn't say the prayer he would.
The time I did I said "rub a dub dub thanks for the grub"Chat Icon He laughed and just rolled his eyes. And that was the last time he askedChat Icon
