11. Soak in the Sun
One might argue that soaking in the sun costs money because you have to invest in sun block. Assuming you already have sun block on hand, you and your beloved can take in the rays in your backyard, garden, porch, roof or stoop, depending on where you live. The sun has magical powers to lift the spirits.12. Smell the Roses – Literally
Walk around your neighborhood and find flowers anywhere you can. Take a moment to look at the beauty of the different varieties and smell the perfumes they emit. Hold hands with your spouse in between observations.13. Share Jokes
Be your own stand-up comedians. Search the Internet or your own memory bank for the funniest tales and puns and jokes. Laughter, after all, is good for the heart.14. Lay Under the Stars
Head outside to your terrace or yard in the darkest of night, lay on the ground, and take in the heavens. Even in the city, you should be able to see a star or two if you look closely enough and pick a clear night. You might even find yourself combining this free date with the make-out session above.15. Get Religion
Go to a religious service with your spouse. Everyone could use moral guidance and a little faith, especially in marriage. Going to a religious service or event together could help you both spiritually – and that could be good for your marriage, even if you have different religions.16. Do a Good Deed
Volunteering together is a chance to do something nice for your neighbors and spend some quality time together. Here’s a chance to see your husband or wife at his or her best. You could work at a soup kitchen, read to kids at your local library, or collect clothes and food for the less fortunate. The possibilities for helping others are endless.17. Exercise Together
Getting a good work out is good for the heart in more ways than one if you are exercising with your husband or wife. You don’t need fancy equipment or gym membership either. All you need is motivation to do lunges, sit ups, push ups, and jumping jacks. You can inspire each other to get in shape.18. Read to Each Other
Not everyone will enjoy reading out loud to his or her spouse. But some people enjoy the classics – or an old-fashioned beach read – and it is something they can share with their spouse. It’s a way to share what is usually a solitary hobby.19. Be a Movie Star
Role playing can be a healthy part of any marriage. For date night, you can get creative with your wardrobe and whatever items you have in the house to re-create your favorite scenes from the movies. The end of Casablanca, the orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally, or anything from Star Wars can be as silly as it is entertaining. If that sounds like too much work for you, you can just try to imitate kisses from the movies. Just make sure you share your Oscar speeches when you’re done playing.20. Dress Each Other Up
Go through your spouse's side of the closet and make an outfit you'd like him or her to wear for you. Maybe you're always trying to get your wife to wear skirts and she lives in pants. Or maybe you'd like your husband to wear a cardigan with his jeans. Now’s your chance to play stylist. If you own a camera, you can even have your own personal fashion shoot.
