1.
Cuddle up with your sweetie on a romantic hay or
sleigh ride. Make sure to think of mosquito repellant or blankets
depending on the time of year.
2.
Plan a progressive dinner with other church members.
A truly fun idea is to have the youth group in the church do all the
cooking, serving, and babysitting.
3.
Have dinner at home with the kids. Then go out for
dessert and hot chocolate, coffee, or tea alone.
4.
Go to an arcade and play
together. Tickets redeem something fun to share...sticky cotton
candy anyone?
5.
When was the last time you visited the library?
Choose a time when there is a guest speaker. Check out a book on a subject
you two would enjoy learning together. Such as massage or candle making.
6.
Take in a poetry reading or karaoke at a local
coffeehouse.
Christian coffeehouses are now all the rage and often come with a free
band to entertain you.
7.
Bring a bottle of sparkling cider, cheese and
crackers to an outdoor concert. Don’t forget the sunscreen or insect
repellant and a blanket to spread out!
8.
Take a “cheap” community course in some subject
you would both enjoy.
9.
Go roller skating or ice skating at the local
rink/pond. Be bashful, but flirtatious on "couple's
skate." If you find yourself
falling down, make light of it with such phrases as, “I keep falling for
you over and over baby!”
10.
Every region has their “look-out point” where
couples congregate to spend time alone. Make sure you bring the breath mints!!!
11.
Play together. Go to the park and take turns pushing
each other on the swings and going down the slides. If they have a
barbeque pit you can roast hot dogs and marshmallows to make S’mores.
12.
Camping! Camping can be cheaper than a motel and far
more romantic. This is when a wife can prove her love by going fishing
with her hubby for his pleasure. He might have to bear with her
conversation instead of silence though (you won’t catch many fish if you
don’t whisper wifey)! Don’t forget to take marshmallows to roast over
the campfire.
13.
Fingerpaint with chocolate pudding.
Butcher’s paper works well for this. Have a contest and paint each
other’s portraits…and allow the “fingerpainting” to roam.
14.
Baseball
farm teams! High school football games! Find a local team and you will
find CHEAP tickets to go to a sports event that is bound to bring some
cheering and excitement from both of you.
15.
Drive to a remote, but safe place (preferably scenic,
but any quiet place will do). Turn up the radio, get out of the car, and
ask your spouse for this dance, stepping on feet as little as possible.
