How to get spark back with no money?

    My girlfriend and I have been going out for a while now and the relationship seems to have lost its spark completely. We're both students, we both live at home and we only see each other at weekends (LDR). Recently I've been feeling like the spark is gone. We're both completely broke, and we never do anything any more. I'm feeling bored and frustrated. What can we do to put the spark back in, that doesn't cost money? On a typical weekend, we get together on Friday night, watch TV until we go to sleep, get up and laze around on Saturday and just watch TV again on Saturday night. Occasionally we go out with friends, but we can't afford to do it often.

    So any advice for cost-free solutions to this rut? Anything at all to put the spark back in is good.

    Hi OP,

    Its awful when it gets like that but it's great that you want to work on it. Why don't you go for a walk together if there's any local parks or rivers to walk by. It's the quickest easiest idea... even if it's late at night it can be quite romantic.

    Annother idea would be to buy a day pass for the bus/dart whatever the local transport is where u live and plan a day at different places along the way. if it's sunny bring a picnic. i know i've been known to go to howth and walk to howth head with a picnic and get the dart home.

    is there anything you both enjoy doing - soccer, climbing, museums etc... could you join a club together?

    of course there are other ways to put the spark into a relationship... few candles, write her a love letter, or little notes for her to find. give each other massages etc

    A letter, either give it to her out of the blue or post it to her, actually give it to her so you can see her reaction, write a list of the things you love the most about her, or why things are so good between you. The spark may be gone but its easily reignited, it may sound cheesy but stay away from some of the cliches and just be honest about it, she'll love it
