Be creative
Married couples after years of being together tend to ignore the relationship and begin to treat the relationship as just a routine. The relationship becomes decayed, dull and lifeless. They seem to forget that they still need romance and add spice to their relationship to strengthen their relationship as years go by. Dating your spouse should not be a forgotten event in your relationship. Creative dating is one way to bond with each other.
Dating your spouse needs creative thinking. Of course as a couple you have to consider your budget especially if you have kids to support but it doesn’t mean you cannot have decent dates together. There are inexpensive dates that you two can enjoy. What is important is that you find something that you can do together and enjoy at the same time. Here are some inexpensive dates you can do with your spouse:
Enjoy the beauty of nature. Enjoying the nature is a gift that the two of you can enjoy. Dating your spouse to walk along the beach, visit a bird park and feed the birds while talking and remembering the things you both enjoy is fun. It is nice to enjoy the beauty of nature and take a day off from house hold chores once in while and enjoy each other’s company. Be crazy and Go Scuba diving together!
Free Treats. Check your local newspaper for free or discounted concerts. If you both love to listen to good music, dating your spouse to watch a free concert is a nice way to spend time together for free and have fun at the same time.
Physical activities. If you are both athletic and you both need some exercise activities, it is nice to do it together once in a while.

This is not only good for your health but it will strengthen your relationship.

For instance, you can both learn to cook a new menu, learn magic tricks together, prune bonsai etc. You can even look for free trainings or classes on things or hobbies that you both enjoy. Doing new things together is fun and an exciting way in dating your spouse.

Loving free - great suggestions on dating your spouse. After 30 years of marriage, well, believe me, it DOES take creativity! We've found just reading together with some ambient music in the background is getting a lot of play lately, but we do plan outings as well.
One idea for a date with your spouse is to think back to the things you enjoyed doing when you first met. Maybe some of them aren't possible now, but if you can work out what you enjoyed about it you can put that into a new activity. The simple ones like going for walks give you quality time with one another, away from the strains and stresses of everyday life.
Since moving to Greece at the start of 2008 my husband and I now spend 99% of our time together. Ths was going to be make or break for the relationship, and fortunately it turned out to be make.
Spending so much time together it's also important to stay creative rather than drifting into too much routine. Simple things like hugs also keep you close.
