For any relationship to flourish, it is very important that the partners spend quality time with each other. When I talk of quality time, the first idea that comes to my mind is going for a vacation to some interesting place.

This idea doesn’t come all by itself but along with it comes the finances like the travel charges, the charges for hotel and food and blah blah blah. Not many couples are comfortable in spending so much on a vacation. Its a matter of major concern especially for couples who are broke.

Ideally money should never become a hindrance in any relationship. There are a lot many ways in which couples who are broke can also spend time with each other.

1. Going Outdoors

If you have a bike or a bicycle, just take your partner and go on a long ride down the countryside away from the hustle bustle of the city traffic. If a beach happens to be nearby just take a stroll along the beach hand in hand. You can both indulge yourself in making sand castles and sharing some chaats, peanuts, coconut water etc.

2. Attending Cultural Events

In many cities and towns a lot of cultural events are held in the town hall or community halls such as a classical music concert, classical dance performance etc . In small towns cultural fairs are held from time to time.

Most of these cultural events are free of cost. Information about such events can be obtained from the local newspapers. Broke couples can avail of such opportunity and spend quality time with each other.

3. A Dinner Date

A dinner date doesn't necessarily mean candle light dinners in expensive restaurants with lavish food and drinks. Broke couples can have a dinner in some nearby ‘Dhaba' or cafe. Such roadside Dhabas also entertain guests with some folk dances by the local tribals. Such dinner dates are reasonably cheap and economical.

4. Picnic In A Nearby Park

Couples who cannot afford to go on long vacations can occasionally plan a picnic with close friends in the nearby local parks from time to time. They can carry some home made snacks and have a nice time without spending a penny from their pockets.

5.A Stroll After Dinner

Broke couples can also have a stroll along the road in their locality after dinner. A quiet and peaceful time with each other where they can get to know more about each other and forget their worries for the time being.

6. Indulge In Some Hobbies

Another fantastic way to spend time with each other for couples is to indulge in some hobby of common interest like gardening, art work, music etc. If both the partners have interest they can also do yoga, meditation ,swimming etc. which would not only keep them bonded mentally but also enrich their companionship.

7. Playing Board Games

Common board games like ludo, chess etc. are available in almost all households. Playing board games together is a good way of spending time with each other for the couples.

8. Window Shopping

Last but not the least window shopping is another way to spend sufficient time with each other for couples who are poor. Who doesn't like to go shopping? Almost all females do.

Couples who are poor can still satiate their desire for shopping to some extent through window shopping without spending a dime from their pockets.
