5 activities to keep your marriage alive

1. Enjoy the music

Head out to a cosy bar with a live band, dance the night away to. Don’t be afraid to let loose and look a little silly. Laugh a little, live a little!

Go to a karaoke bar or an open mic bar and belt out a few tunes. Confidence is key when it comes to this activity, even if your voices aren't the best – remember this is about spending time with one another.

2. Get your adrenaline levels up

Engage in activities that encompass extreme sports like bungee jumping or sky diving, as a couple. You and your spouse can jump/dive together and make the experience that much more memorable. Go for a ride on the scariest roller coaster in you can find. Scream your heart out and hold hands while doing it.

Go paintball shooting, go-karting or lazer tagging with each other. These couple activities are fun while being mentally and physically challenging too.

3. Share a meal

Make reservations at a fancy restaurant you’ve always wanted to try. Indulge in something new and different. Pamper yourselves, you deserve it!

Dine somewhere unique like on a yacht, at the botanical gardens, or at a rooftop bar. Not only will you enjoy the food, but the location, view and of course, each other!

4. Spend a little

Book a night at a luxurious hotel in your area or even out of town. It’s always a good idea to get away for awhile if you can. Go for a swim in the pool, order room service or pig out at the buffet. Revel in the company of one another, you’re sure to rediscover the spark!

Hop on to a plane, train or bus to anywhere. Stay in a romantic resort or explore the tourist spots in the area. You can get away for a night or two as long as you’ve got someone to watch the kids for a weekend!

5. Romance on a budget

Pack a picnic basket and lay out a huge blanket in your backyard, balcony, or a nearby park. Engage in conversations or read book side by side.

Rent a movie and watch it at home in the dark, curl up together under a blanker. Since the kids won't be home, watch a horror movie or something other than animated films that you’ve been watching with the kids.
