If you’re married or in a long-term relationship, do you and your SO make plans with other couples as a foursome (or more)? Would you say you’re really all friends with one another?

Or do you have your separate friends and do your socializing individually?

Do you relate your answer to how long you and your SO have been together and how old you were when you got together, or is it just a matter of personality and preference—say, introvert vs. extrovert? Is it about having or not having common interests?

To be clear, I’m not using “socializing” here as a euphemism for anything. I’m just talking about friendly gatherings for dinner, games, conversation, travel, whatever. X-rated whatever isn’t under discussion here.
