Re: List fun things to do with your wife/husband that won't cost a dime.
We are an outdoorsy athletic type couple, so we really enjoy hiking, biking, jogging, etc. Sometimes we just sit indoors, enjoy some wine and listen to a cd or two. (Anything from Prince to Def Lepard is game). We're also artists and cherish creative time... Although I usually catch up on my art while he's meditating.
We sound like a bunch of hippies. lol Posted via Mobile Device
Re: List fun things to do with your wife/husband that won't cost a dime.
My husband and I are a very active couple. We love strolls, hiking, and country drives. But our favorite is bedtime, because we get to be close together, all legs crossed over each other, either reading, studying or watching netflix.
One thing that my husband loves to do is make breakfast for us each and every morning. He's been doing it now for 3 years and he still gets a kick out of it. lol

1. We have this book called "The Ultimate Guide to a Sensuous Honeymoon" which has 30 tear-out suggestions of sexy surprises for your spouse. Some (most?) of them are things you have perhaps tried before, but the surprise aspect makes them fun again! Okay, it's not free, but it's, like, really inexpensive. There are copies on Amazon for like $1. Don't be deterred by the one-star review. I completely disagree with its jadedness even though the suggestions weren't that novel to me, either. It's all about your attitude toward them.
2. Massage. Foot soak/scrub/massage is fun and different.
3. Have a no laughing contest.
4. Have a fitness race or a contest! Loser has to cook bacon for the winner! Great for your fitness ...except for the bacon!
5. Boudoir photo shoot! Think classy, not compromising.
6. Three-legged race, just like the family picnic relay. It's great when you have a fight! It's more fun somewhere with other pedestrians because who doesn't love strangers doing something weird and fun? Plus it's all metaphorical and stuff.
7. Drag your mattress into the TV room and watch episodes of a show you like on Netflix or DVD or something. Just fall asleep in front of it. It's nice to have a change of scenery.

Paint! I don't know if this has already been mentioned but basic art supplies are minimal cost. Pick up some small canvases and paint together ....hang them up in your home afterwards.

We used to do this...we'd write one or two sentences each, then pass the paper over to the other person to continue the story. I found a couple of these stories recently, and I do see his sentences turned to sex pretty quickly lol. They are racy stories.

I don't think I saw this suggestion...EXERCISE!! If you're fit, it's easy. If you're not fit, it's funny (and could be the start of something!) Then afterwards take a shower and make love (if you're not already sleepy or sore!)

Play the game 1000 questions.
Get a book of conversation starters or search for them on the internet. Using the book/list person A either choses a question from the book/list or makes one up and asks it of person B. Person B answers the question. Then person A answers the question. Now person B asks a question and person A answers followed by person B. And so it goes back and forth.

Carol and I play dress-up a lot. I'll just leave some ridiculously sexy outfit out on the bed for her to wear. Then we'll go about our day (inside)... perhaps she'll paint and I'll work on web sites. But suddenly normal activities are punctuated by much leering and pawing and whatnot... it's very bonding for us.

Re: List fun things to do with your wife/husband that won't cost a dime.
I sent this poem to my hubby's phone a few minutes ago.
When Day turns to Night
I will fall into darkness
fall away from the light
falling, falling so deeply,
when day turns to night
The darkness is good,
it makes my heart take flight,
because his arms are around me,
when day turns to night
the night is erotic,
dark dampers the sight,
doesnt matter with him there,
when day turns to night
It's time to let go,
dont think about what might
lose all inhibitions,
when day turns to night
one day when we marry
my heart will soar like a kite,
for he will forever be with me,
when day turns to night
