If you intend to keep the bond between you and your partner in a very simple and economical way, but confused on how to go about it, then this article is for you.

Below are the fun ideas you can try out even while on a low budget.

1. Have movie night dates

This is one of the cheapest ways to bond and have fun with your partner with no cash involved. Just pick a movie on Netflix and then sit and watch without any distraction. You should put your phones or any gadget that could interrupt the fun away.

If you don’t have access to Netflix, you can still have fun by watching movies together on your phone, laptop, or iPad. 

You can go as far as switching off the lights. Having popcorn and ice cream by your side will also give you a more cinematic experience. 

Just in case, you can also get movie tickets that are not expensive at cinemas or movie centres to have an outdoor movie experience.

2. Play games

Games are one of the easiest ways to bond and have fun. Playing games like scrabble, video games, monopoly, cards, board games, puzzles and lots more helps you have great fun. This would lead to laughter and positive arguments while playing the game. This depends on your gaming interests.

3. Have special dinner nights

Special dinner nights could be in your home or at an inexpensive restaurant. The goal is to have fun with your partner. You can prepare a special dish together, different from the ones you had earlier. You can also learn a new dish together online and try it out. 

Accept mistakes just in case it doesn’t turn out as expected, but be conscious of the fact that your ultimate goal for this is to have a nice time with your partner.

If you prefer to have an outdoor experience, you can visit the nearest restaurant that serves good food. Order a nice but inexpensive meal for yourselves and discuss things over during or after the meal. The choice is yours.

4. Walk down memory lane together

You can pick a day in the week together to discuss your journey as a couple. How you met, activities you did during courtship, every process you passed through till the present moment. Going through your wedding pictures, videos and old pictures is also a nice way to reminisce about the good times. You get to laugh, crack jokes, and make positive comments that will lighten up the whole room. This will help you have a nice time as you bond more.

5. Have a mini picnic

Picnics in a serene environment are the best way to have fun. Pack food, snacks or fruits from home to save you more money and visit parks or beaches depending on your purse. There are parks that are free or a bit cheaper. Just do your research and plan based on your budget.

6. Have regular walks together

Having a walk in your neighborhood is a way to have fun, even on a budget. You don’t have to spend a dime, all you need is your partner and your legs. Holding hands as you take a walk down your street while discussing or chatting builds a great bond.
