New Edition: Cheap Date Roulette
Introduction
We all should recognize that dating your spouse is vital to a happy and healthy marriage. What is holding you back? For us it was cost, setting aside time, having good ideas, and just plain laziness. My husband and I recently came up with a list of 19 date ideas that are both fun and inexpensive. Some of them seem incredibly crazy and stretch the bounds of our introverted-ness, so to avoid avoiding these we have set up a system. Each Monday we use a random number generator (thanks Google) to pick a number between 1 and 19, then commit to that date for the upcoming Friday. No weaseling out of the date ideas this way (husbands)!Week 1
Number 10 : Board Game in the Park
Wife picked the game (Catan 2 player card game) and husband picked the park (beautiful and green). Nature contributed a wonderful breeze (picture scrambling for flying objects and holding down the table of cards), a lovely watery backdrop, and the culmination of a passion fruit sunset.Wife won the game (of course), but husband was a good sport.
Lessons learned: think of potential airy hazards while picking the game, setting matters to bring the ambiance of date-ness, be goofy, and accept the inquisitive bemused stares from fellow park-goers.
