What are things you do with your spouse to keep things interesting (non-sexual)?

Just the above.

Besides for trying new restaurants, I’m feeling we need new activities to do together. But what?

I took up golf and we try to play together once a week. He’s very tolerant of my bad play but since I play fast he doesn’t complain. It’s nice to have four hours walking together outdoors on a nice day usually followed by a drink.

That’s nice. DH plays tennis, but doesn’t want to go with me since I’m a beginner.

We pursue separate activities/hobbies, that way we have things to talk about.

Together activities: We do trivia nights. We take daytrips. We might jump on the pickleball bandwagon. We go to festivals. We attend events at the Dulles Expo Center. We go stargazing in the Shenandoah. We take cooking classes together. We went to a drive-in movie recently.

NP. We're like the PP and spouse above. Like to travel, whether it's to another city for a long weekend, a longer trip, or just a day trip to someplace here in the area. We go to the theater a lot and always have. We go to concerts (lots of free ones in this area, all year long). Museums here and elsewhere. Historic sites.

But OP--what are your already existing shared interests with your spouse? If you're floundering to come up with things to do as a couple other than just eat out--don't you share interests already? If not, why not, and would taking a fun class together help generate some mutual, shared interest, maybe?

We just do the things that we enjoy doing together after 20 years of marriage: eating out, taking walks, watching a game at the local bar, playing games, going to the movies. We really like to travel (we met in vacation in Africa) so we spent time researching new areas, finding things to do, etc.

Motorcycling. It took a long time for her to get over the fear. But once she took classes and got her licence she caught the bug and she now has her own motorcycle. We ride together and it's amazing.

If you are a non-rider that's indeed the mentality. For those of us riders we are aware of the risks and not let that bother us. It is not for everyone you are correct.
