If you are married, no you don't.
My wife and I do much better at controlling our diet (calories, fat, salt intake) if we eat at home. If I took her out frequently enough to hit 1.5K of restaurant spend in 3 months, her waistline would blow up like a balloon. Not worth the aggravation. When she gains weight, it is always my fault!
I'm taking her on an Alaska cruise this summer. I already have enough possible future weight gain to worry about.
