So we have been together close to 6 years now and have to younger kids. A toddler and a kindergartner. We are both young in our mid twenties and had our daughter really early in our relationship so we didn't get to do a lot of things that a lot of our peers got to do. I love our daughter more than anything and she's such a blessing, but she wasn't planned at the time, but we both stepped up to the plate and are both amazing parents. Having her so early in our relationship we didn't get to experience what a lot of other couples get to experience. If we wanted to go out on a date we had to find a baby sitter first. So a date to us a lot of times has been getting some take-out and renting a movie and watch it with some wine when the kids went to sleep. Don't get me wrong this can be great after a long week of work, but it has kind of gotten stale.
We both are pretty busy working full time and I've been finishing up my degree part time, so we are exsulted a lot. We lost contact with a lot of our friends because we kind of live separate lives. We are parents and they are still young and trying to find themselves.
My question is what kind of things can I do that spontaneous and that will bring new excitement to a relationship. We don't have a lot of money where we can go on trips etc, and we can usually get a baby sitter once per week. But what are some types of things to do as partners and even stuff to with kids (if there are any parents here.) summer is coming up and I want to get out of the house and go do new things. We kind of live in a small town so there aren't a lot of options. But the city next to our town is fairly big with some stuff to do.
Thanks in advanced.
TLDR; Parents that have been in a long term relationship, what are some spontaneous things you do to bring excitement to a relationship? (It doesn't have to be sexual and can be done as a couple or as a family if you don't have a baby sitter)
