I'm looking for fun things to do with your wife/husband that don't cost a time. Weather it be at home or going out and doing something. Of course the cost of gas when going out will happen. I'm looking forward to your suggestions from the 10+ Club. :smthumbup:

Pack a picnic and go to the park. Act a bit like kids again, and swing on the swings, feed the birds any leftover sandwich crusts.
( okay, you have to pay for the food, but you need to eat anyway?)


Go for a long walk at sunset - make sure you hold hands :)

Recreate High School prom night in your own home...get all dressed up, put on some slow music and waltz the evening away - sort of sappy, but sweet :)

Make your wife breakfast in bed...make enough for you both and have a lazy morning in bed.

Check out your local community center or library for a fun, free classs or activity that you might both enjoy - new, common interests are good.

My wife and I are poor. What's been fun for us:
1. Walks together, with or without the dog.
2. Cooking together.
3. Investigating new ideas separately, then discussing our conclusions together. We've been coming up with a lot of things to research and discuss in this political/economic climate...
4. We tried writing together, but that didn't work. I have written for her many times and that is fun for me and her.
5. An idea we were going to try, right before she left me: Vibrating underwear for her. Not free, but if you use them frequently enough, the per-use charge is very small. *grin* I hope I get a chance to test this out...
6. Hidden object games for the PC. Sure, they're not free, unless you look in the "right" places.
7. Watching free shows on Hulu.com. We don't have a TV, but we like John Stewart.
8. Shopping together and making it an adventure not a chore.

Huh. I should put more thought into this...

Good topic. Thanks.

4. We tried writing together, but that didn't work. I have written for her many times and that is fun for me and her.
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 like the one about cleaning together:D

All your ideas have inspired me to think about this again. Here's a list of what we have or what I would like to do:

Afterwards (the cleaning), take a shower together.
Walk the dogs and enjoy them being so enthusiastic.
Write down your romantic ideas for an imaginary vacation and read it to each other.
Dress up and dance in the living room, if you are in the mood, do a strip tease.
Cuddletime.
Sit on the front porch and talk about the day while the sun sets.
Play frisbee (not so sure I want to do that in the nude).
Play tennis (who cares if your'e any good)
Ride bikes to a local outdoor cafe and sit outside sipping your water (or if you are in the mood to splurge, buy a coffee)
Go window shopping at night (all the stores a closed so no fear of spending money, plus it quieter).
:scratchhead: I'll have to keep thinking....this is a damn short list.

Some of these things have already been said, but they are fun and help you connect better none the less.

Walking the dog together.

Hide and Seek with or with out the kids. (Can be inside or out, although evening outside in the backyard is much more fun and your neighbors will never know how nuts you are J/K)

Another variation is to play hide and seek or Tag (adults only) inside with blindfolds on.

Make up silly rules and silly consequences if the rules are broken.

Look up a new recipe in a cookbook or online and cook it together.

Feed each other food while cooking and smear it on your spouses face.

Have a food fight while cooking dinner.

Clean up the mess from the food fight together.

Stage a pillow fight in the living room during the commercials of your fav show.

Take a shower together (Can lead to more adult fun later)

Talk about nonsense or take turns telling each other jokes.

Wrestle with your kids together on the floor.

Play a board game but make up your own rules for the game as you play.

Take turns reading a book (that you both are interested in) to each other.

Turn on your favorite song and dance with your spouse. (It's okay if you don't know how, you can always close the curtains)

Sing a love song to your spouse. (Sometimes a drink beforehand might improve singing skills)

Put on a silly hat and dance with your spouse.

Play a video game together and and set up silly rules for the other person to do if they win/lose.

This may not be for everyone, but my hubby and I will jump out and randomly scare each other every now and then. We both get a kick out of it 'cuz we are just big kids lol.

Go to the local park and walk around. (With or without kids/dog)

Race bikes around the neighborhood or park.

Come home and cuddle together. It is always fun and since it doesn't cost anything, it can be done as often as you wish.

Love like you just met and live like you are going to die tommorow. Life is a gift and should be cherished, not ignored.

Be blessed.

1) Not so free, but car rides
2) Walks, more free
3) Play a good coop video game
4) Practically molest our cats
5) I like a good cup of coffee, with some munchies
6) Get drunk off wine, not free, but it can be preeeeeetty cheap
7) Wrestle for something ridiculous
8) We're learning to play chess
9) Sing over-passionately in the car, to Phil Collins

I also really liked some of your guy's ideas -

-Learn an instrument together, I play guitar, but I would love to learn the cello, and my wife says she would love to learn it with me, we could do some cool duets ^_^.
