What you don’t realize is that you can enjoy and reconnect with your significant other from the comfort of your own home. Now before you start frowning at the idea of having a date night indoors, check out these creative ways to spend time while saving a dime.

Ousman Jatta, 45, married British Beryl in the Gambia, when they were 32 and 75 years old respectively. The couple moved to the UK 9 years ago and Ousman soon took up a job as a store secrity officer.
