Since the two of you are engaged, it would be useful and very beneficial to take time now to plan for the future.
I'm not speaking of the wedding, although that will be necessary to do.
I'm thinking about goal setting, for an example. A good marriage can be made much better(and successful) if BOTH of you are working towards common goals. Not general ideas said in a vague, consensus sort of way, but a written down plan.
At what time do you want to purchase a house? Do you want to own a house? Bedrooms, number of, ranch or victorian, etc.
You get the idea, I'm sure.
Not just about where to live, but all kinds of things can be brought to the table.
Whatever you do, work it through TOGETHER. Try not to argue.
You will both feel much better going into a marriage if you have taken the time to REALLY discuss and plan ahead.
This includes the unforeseen emergencies. Things happen.
Yet even the best laid plans can go south. If that should happen, be flexible enough to alter the plan.
In marriage counseling, a good minister will cover all manner of issues. I recommend that you put the time you have now to a good use for your future time.

Answer 3

Play sexual games that does not always end up in sex.
Play a game where you have to come up with a line in the poem that starts with a certain letter and the other starts the next line with the next letter. do names and other things. Write the 10 things you love about the other person. When you are done frame it and latter add your marriage photos to the frame. Start a charity drive around your county or city area for your favorite charity. Feed the children.org or something. find something you can make cheap and then give all profits to charity. make crazy dishes you would never do on your own or her own. Do one of you know something the other does not but wants to. Like language or computers. teach the other. get a stripping video and practice on eachother. If you want to get kinky and she is okay with this. Find other couples and practice with multiple strippers (women) and couples then switch if everyone agrees.
Learn something together. I hope I have given you some ideas. I kind of went consevative and liberal because I do not know better the relationship you two have.

Answer 4

Well, as someone who is married you have to learn to appreciate that quiet time :)

To answer your question though, find some common interests. I don't watch much tv but when i do its a show my wife is interested in. We love "Heroes" so we talk about it and ponder what will happen next. Think of it more as finding shows you watch rather than vegging in front of the tv.

We also play board games, computer games, listen to music and try and get each other involved in one way or another.

You may also want to re-consider quality time. Don't just think of it as what you can do at home, but what you can do that is cheap around your home. Go for a walk, excerisize, ride a bike, go to the park, get active in your local community, volunteer. Do things that challenge you as a couple and as a person. Expan your horizons of what hanging out with your future hubby actually means.

If your board now, your in for a disaster after 25 years of marriage.

Answer 5

if you love your fiance, even the dullest of things can be amazing. Talk to her. Spending time with each other is meant to be amazing. Even the simple things, like watching TV. But obviously, try some different things. Buy a cookbook and try some experiments out. Try making a home video, or crafts. Shop online, renovate the house... There are lots of things to do at home!

Answer 6

I agree with Bob 125% you must first turn the t.v off and get to know each other more, do a lot of activities together, find a hobby that you're both interested in. There will be no use in getting married if all yall do is watch t.v., have sex and go to bed.

Answer 7

I am in exactly the same situation. But we try to make things interesting by watching dvd's cooking a meal togetherand sharing a bottle of wine, playing board games like cludeo, scrabble or monopoly is fun. Last night we went out for a drink and then went bingo (its not just for old people) it can be a laugh.

Answer 8

Get out of the house and go do something. Now is the time to discover each others interests.

He's a guy - if you are home and there is a tv that is what he is going to do.

Have a few friends over to distract him.

Answer 9

Play card, Play games, Talk about world events, Read the paper together, take a walk, join a gym, play asport together, take up tennis, kick a soccer ball around, throw a ball around, garden, go to a museum, play, dinner, make dinner together, clean the hosue together, do cross word together,

But first you have to TURN THE TV OFF!!!!

Answer 10

It may sound corny but a lot of board games are fun. You can even play chess if want something more challenging. Some couples like cooking together, trying new recipes.
