Humane Society or
Animal Shelter
Your local animal shelter has plenty of opportunities to foster your relationship by taking care of some animals. If you are both dog, lovers or cat lovers, you will be able to take them on a walk or just simply play with as many as you can! You can call in advance and set up a time to help out at the shelter with various tasks that are approved just for those who volunteer. This will build your relationship.
There are many ways to grow together but this will give you a special bond that cannot be broken because you are doing good to God's creatures. We all need to be served, even the furry ones! Make this a time where you dedicate and make a firm commitment to serving at least once a month - this goal can be easily achieved by scheduling aside a certain day that works with each of your schedules, and gets you out of the house to care for those around you. If you're animal lovers specifically look at choosing your place of service at a Humane Society or Animal Shelter.

Look at all of the different animals that are there and who need to
be taken care of. Find one that you can connect with and have that animal be the
one you manage while you are there helping out. Each partner picks
an animal and tends to their needs.

For this date here is a fun new skill to learn:
Engage in “Caring Days” - Therapist Richard Stuart (1980)
recommends this to married couples -
Couples will need to identify sets of loving actions that they would like to receive from their partner. These need to be specific like: tell me that you love me at least once a day. Positive and yet small enough to be done on a daily basis, (call me at work during lunch, just to see how I’m doing) and not related to any recent conflict. His research shows that couples engaging in Caring Days significantly enhanced their marital satisfaction. This approach encourages couples to talk openly about how they like to receive love and then agree to do those things often. Your love is important and by engaging in caring days, you will start to see how your love starts to take on a new meaning. Loving each other and doing those actions can keep away the outside negativity, allowing you to focus only on your love.
