25 Inexpensive but Fun Ways to Spend Together Time with Your Spouse.

No matter how busy life is, I can't stress how important it is to maintain your relationship and make sure you keep a regular date night or time together without family. So here are 25 ideas, most of which won't cost the earth:

1. Fire up the skillet or the grill and cook a meal--go all out with wine candles romantic music.
2. Make a picnic and\picnic just the two of you in the lounge room or the bedroom.
3. Take up a sport together. It doesn't matter what the sport is so long as you both enjoy it.
4. Go to a production by a local theatre group. Many of them are excellent and usually inexpensive
5. Go fishing toether.
6. Make a CD together.
7. Go to an art exhibition and then have a coffee and talk about the paintings you liked.
8.Depending on the weather, head to an indoor or outdoor ice-skating rink — it's the perfect excuse to hold hands and cozy up to each other to keep warm.
9. Settle down in a comfy spot with maybe a glass of wine or port for a good long chat.
10. Join a community group together, either as a volunteer for some charity or join a community class where you will learn a new skill.
11. Draw each other. If you draw as badly as I do, it might produce some hilarious results.
12. Make your own chocolate fondue and eat it together.
13. Work on a photo album or photo collage together.
14. Spend the day hiking and taking pictures together.
15. Sign up for a short course in Latin dancing or ballroom dancing.
16. Go parking just like when you were dating.
17. Depending on the weather go for a moonlight swim.
18. Play X box, WII, table tennis or pool.
19. Take a late night drive to a secluded beach and walk along the sand hand in hand.
20. Settle in for a night of pampering: Use your empty wallets as an excuse to stay in. Run a bubble bath and then treat each other to full-body massages.
21. Cook a favorite cake together.
22. Make your own picnic and take it to the beach or a park.
23. Go to a movie. Go for coffee afterwards and talk about the movie.
24. Cuddle up together with a DVD and some popcorn.
25. Get spooked at a haunted house. Start off the night by watching a scary movie before you go.

The main point is that you have fun spending time together and keep the lines of communication open.
