Ideas You'll Love

5. Board Games

5. Board Games• These games are more fun when played by your own “house” rules• Take them to a favorite outdoor spot to enjoy a beautiful day/evening• If you’re the betting sort, wager on who will win and pick some

fun/racy “winnings”• Board games are better than video games from time to time for face

to face interaction, and the fun conversations they can spark!

4. Book Club (For 2 Or More)

4. Book Club (For 2 Or More)• Read books over a week or a month, then get together to discuss

them over a homemade meal• Get together with another couple and expand the club– adult

conversation with others can be a major treat after long days • Choose books in turns, but unless you both dig them stay away from

classic chick or dude books. No strictly romance or sports novels UNLESS you both agree ahead of time. You should both enjoy what you’re reading.

3. Hiking (or a stroll)

3. Hiking (or a stroll)• This is a great opportunity to talk about something other than

everyday life• Also great for sightseeing if you have a local park or other place with

trails you can use• Be sure to keep each others skill level and health in mind• Use a smartphone or camera to get new candid pictures together• Scenery pics are fun to take together too

2. Dollar Store Scavenger Hunt

2. Dollar Store Scavenger Hunt• Set a reasonable spending limit• Don’t make your list super specific• Setting a time limit can make this even more fun• Comparing items can be quite funny—even insightful into how you

both interpret things!• This is fun to follow with a cheap dinner out—fast food, maybe?

1. Matinee and A PicNic

1. Matinee and A PicNic• The afternoon showings are often much more affordable—and can be

less crowded. Make out time, anyone?• Making a picnic for before the show can be a lot of fun to do together.• Try going for a coffee or inexpensive beverage after the movie to talk

about what you liked or didn’t about what you just watched• You can save this one for school breaks if you have children and help a

neighbor teen out by getting them to baby sit for a couple hours—total win-win!
