Ways to spend time together without spending so much money?

Question

My fiance and I are having a hard time thinking of ways to spend time together without breaking the bank.

We'd like to spend more time at home, just the two of us... but we get bored quickly and always end up going out to visit friends and spending money. Not only are we slowly driving ourselves poor by doing this... but we're not having that quality alone time that we think we need. It's hurting our relationship... and our wallets.

Any suggestions on ways to spend time together without spending a lot of money, and without just sitting at home watching television?

Answer 1

play cards, watch movies, communication.

have a nice romantic dinner. sit and watch the sunset.

my husband and i go for coffee and just talk about the things going on in our lives, work, kids, etc.

play video games together, like a racing game.

Answer 2

Board games where the winner gets a fun sexual favor.
Massages with all the goodies - candles, lotion, etc.
Since you're getting married, write down what your life goals are together and revisit them once a month. It not only sets a tone for the future but it allows for some serious soul searching together.
Burn CD's together that is a perfect compilation of each other's tastes and/or favorites
Donate your time to Volunteer/Charity events

The point is be creative.

Answer 3

Find an activity that you both enjoy. Me and my BF like hunting (gun and Archery) so we practice shooting with our bows a lot. We love the out doors so we find things to do outside. Just walking together through the woods is a great feeling and great alone time.. We also fish so we may go to the river and sit for 3-4 hours fishing and just catching up on things. You just have to find "your Thing".. Wish the best for you and many years of happiness.

reading and discussion groups at the library
(also at large bookstores)
lectures at various area universities
go to the Zoo( in St Louis it's free)

Last year we learned to fly-fish free from a local tackle store

There is more stuff, but I can't think of right now..
We could do something free every night if we wanted too

Answer 5

I like to grab a six pack of beer, or a bottle of wine and take a drive in the country! (Don't get drunk, of course!) That way, you are alone together and there are things to look at, so you don't get too bored! Secretly pack a blanket and a snack for a secluded rendezvous with your love!

Answer 6

...getting outside...riding a bike together... exploring on the bike... (do you leave near the Ocean ?) the beach is an endless discovery of "things"... Sit on the "roof" at sunset, the "show" is awesome... find a place at night (in a clear sky) where the lights of the city and industry don't obscure the night sky... you can reach up and almost touch the stars...

Answer 7

Go see a matinee movie together, or take a walk around a museum in your city, most of those are free, or cost $5 per person.

Answer 8

sex. cant get better then that, its priceless, no money just you and your partner. thats a very good way to bond, always making a homemade romantic dinner, watching a movie, making stuff together, baking together.

Me and my bf just stay in so we do alot of things inside. we mainly just talk, play video games, watch tv, movies, bake and cook together as well as sex.

Try it.

Answer 9

why not try investing in a deck of cards or a few wacky board games make them fun by adding your own little twists like strip poker for card games or card games involving shots of alcohol rent out a few dvds over one night and stay in bed all day and night watching them.
