Ten Dates under Ten Dollars

It's a MUST to keep dating even after you are married! Just because you have settled into a daily routine, doesn't mean you can't still have fun! Here are ten easy and inexpensive dates to give you some ideas for how to do just that. I suggest bringing along a disposable camera to capture these new memories! 

Out on the Town

1. Go to the library! Pick out books, or check their schedule and see if anything fun is happening. Sometimes local artists or musicians visit.

2. Take a bike ride. It's always fun to explore your neighborhood in a different way than usual.

3. If you appreciate art and/or want to feel cultured, check out your local museums. Most have one night a week when admission is free.

4. Go on an "adventure drive". Take turns deciding which roads to take, and see where you end up. Don't forget to document it!

5. Check the local paper for any open houses, and then go to them! It's fun to dream together as you walk around.

At Home

5. Bake goodies for each other! Cookies, pies, muffins. Whatever the other person wants.

6. Draw the head and arms of a character on the top half of a sheet of paper. Fold it in half, and give it to your guy to draw the legs and feet. See how silly of a person you can create! 

7. Pop some popcorn, change into your comfies, and watch as many episodes of your favorite show as you can, before you fall asleep.

8. Do something crafty related to the upcoming holiday! Carve pumpkins or make Valentines or Christmas ornaments. 

9. Rearrange your bedroom. Doesn't sound like much, but you'll work on your communication skills, and maybe get a workout! 

10. Write each other a love letter that you won't open for another 5 years. Be detailed, so when you open them in 5 years, you will remember exactly how you felt about each other!
