Besides having sex, cooking, eating, watching TV and other day to day activities.... what do YOU do with your SO?
We watch TV too much. We end up simultaneously surfing the internet too much. As a result... we end up eating too much. We don't like this.
When the warmer months are here we've been better about stopping this cycle and taking long walks to fill our time with but we want to have more variety.And then winter comes along! Yikes! No long walks for me in the winter.
We're getting married at the end of next month. We're sort of brokey-broke for now.
What do YOU do? There's gotta be something my fellow mefites do that fill their couple-time that isn't playing video games or sitting on your heiny for hours on end. And again, besides sex. I promise we'll have lots of newlywed sex. But after that!
HELP US, PLEASE.

Board games, reading books to each other, camping, hiking, riding bikes, walking the dog, drinking beer, making beer, cooking, chores (sigh), listening to records, going to the theater/concerts (especially free/cheap ones), having friends over for food/drinks/games.
Basically, there are more things to do together than time to do them in.

Card games are always great and just the cost of a good deck of cards. You can do two player games like gin or cribbage and you can always branch out and make it a great couples activity with friends.
If you have similar book interests you and your SO could always read to each other. It takes effort, but I enjoy the books or articles more.

Rock Band! It's not exactly like playing other video games, and it can be quite active if you are drumming or dancing around while singing or playing the guitar.
Or, you could play real music together, if you have any skills at such things.
For the long walks, go different places. We have discovered dozens of tiny nature preserves and weird little historic places near our city just by looking at the map and picking a place to go. Or, pick a big state park nearby and aim to do all the hikes there over the next few months. You can do things like pick a park that's a couple hours away and then google around for a good restaurant/weird museum/antique store (whatever you're into) that is also in that area and make a day of it.

There's a lot to be said for just sitting on the porch watching cars go by — or on the couch, watching a fire in the fireplace, that sort of thing. Back when gas was cheaper, we went on long drives. We run errands together, even when they're not necessarily two-person errands. If I'm cooking, Girlfriend will sometimes just hang around the kitchen, and vice versa if she's doing laundry.
This all sounds pretty boring. But in a way, that's the point. You want to arrange to be bored together, because shared boredom is what motivates you to pay attention to each other, to find things to talk about, all that good stuff. The problem with TV is that it's just barely interesting enough to keep a real, natural conversation from developing.
Also, yeah, card games.

gardening! even if you have no ground to plant things in, you can do some containers.
volunteering! check out your local food bank or soup kitchen and sign up for a shift together.
the farmers' market! related: if you get involved enough in cooking food, you won't have time to sit in front of the TV after. Embark on a complicated cooking project that will challenge you both and work on it together.
State or County Park! Look at the hokey visitors' center, go for a hike or jog, take pictures of each other, sit under a tree together and play cards.
Ride your bikes! Even errands are fun on a bike.

We've taken up bowling. You don't have to be in great shape, and there's not a big investment in gear until you decide to get serious. It's a low-key air conditioned way to do something non-sedentary and exercise-ish out of the house.

You can go for walks in any weather, if you have appropriate clothing and good hiking boots. We know people who go backpacking in the wilderness in the snow, which makes a walk in the neighborhood seem like nothing in comparison.
We go for a walk together every day, regardless of weather, even when visiting relatives who live in colder climates. Sometimes we go to the shopping mall or a big box store to do our walking, if the weather's unpleasant enough. You have to get your exercise in every day, anyway, and treadmills are just too boring.

We go to Nationals baseball games - expensive, yes, but if there's a minor-league baseball team where you are, those tickets can be quite cheap, and minor-league teams usually have great promotions.
Even if you don't particularly care for baseball (we're both hard-core fans), the late summer picnic atmosphere is great. Bring some food and sunscreen, and you're golden. We also watch lots of sports together on TV, particularly now with baseball and college football going on.

We too have a tendency to do extremely sedentary things much to the detriment of our waistlines, and our first step out of this into something more active has been bowling. A place near us has an ongoing special price of three games plus shoe rental for $10 apiece, so for $20 we get an afternoon of entertainment and exercise. It's been a lot of fun, and being that we're starting from near-total couchpotatohood, we can definitely feel that we are getting something of a workout.
One thing that I like to do that we haven't done for awhile is enjoying the trails at our nearby state forests. I'd hardly call what we do "hiking" but it's more intense than a stroll around the neighborhood.
I was also thinking that tossing a frisbee back and forth would fun and cheap. I've also had fun with an SO going on the swings at the park.

We do many of the things mentioned above. But we also instituted what we call the "Hell Yeah! Doctrine". We were finding interesting events and opportunities would come our way but we would make excuses for ourselves to not go. (It's a week night, too tired, etc.) So now when these things come along we sat Hell Yeah! we're gonna go. A couple of examples are a silent auction and talk about our city, and a crafts night at the museum.
I am often feeling tired and don't want to go right before the event but I always have a great time and am glad we got out.

Being married with kids has taught me that going to the grocery store together absolutely qualifies as a date. If we have time to lounge at Starbucks for an hour prior to getting groceries even better.

Let one person show the other person something they like to do. (Yeah, much of this should have come up already, but you never know.)
We've gone geocaching together, for example, which is something I love but which she was only mildly curious about. We've gone on apple-picking trips and then cooked: when she makes apple pie I am the assistant who washes & peels, but when I made something else, she lets me take the lead.
We've been married for 14 years, and kids mean there's not much strictly one-on-one time any more, but it's still good. There are a few things we return to time after time when we do get away, like a walk through Providence's Federal Hill [="little Italy"] to the dessert place Pastiche for their wonderful strawberry shortcake.
We like working on the yard together, though we're both headstrong so unifying two visions of the 2010 veggie garden was tougher than I expected. :7)

Orienteering. Sadly only once a month for us locally. Somehow the winter orienteering experiences are more memorable ... especially when the weather is really god-awful. We like the hiking, I like having a goal when we're hiking, he likes nerding out with maps, and it's fun and a bonding experience to solve the problem together.
We bundle the baby up good and stick him in a pack (front when he was tiny, back now that he's big) and we go out in just the worst, worst weather. And then we go home, eat something really warm, and feel justified in sitting on the couch snuggling to get re-warm. :)

We have a 2-year old so the time after 7:30 pm is time that we generally have to spend at home and are still trying to figure out how to make that "couple"time. We've done a few crafty projects together and have planned to learn Italian together via DVDs (but haven't done that yet). Since we do end up watching DVDs of movies and TV shows a lot, we've also made it a point to find series that we enjoy together so that they also become a discussion point. Some things that we've watched together as marathons over a few weeks or months: Lost, Mad Men, Deadwood.

If you want to get out of your house regularly, I would suggest getting involved in more of a "leadership" position in a local Church, charity, or non-profit. There are various "Friends of [local landmark]" groups near where I live that have regular meetings and activities. If you can find one that you're both interested in, you could take on positions that fit your personalities (ie, he could be the secretary and you could be the tour guide, or whatever). This gets you involved in the same thing, and it's fun to have regularly scheduled activities to do together and plan for and discuss in your down time.
My boyfriend and I are involved in our local Church, and it's great because it incorporates a broad range of things, from charity work, to socialization, to deeper conversations. We've also made a awesome group of mutual friends, and have a constant roster of things to do together.

Do you belong to a church or other place where couples organize themselves? We end up finding a lot of activities through that - either church sponsored things (especially volunteering), or other community things that are advertised.
Also, if you live somewhere of relative size, there's almost always free music to be had somewhere - seek it out if you like music. Live music is almost always good, as far as I'm concerned, so if it's free live music I am THERE.

Advice from a get-happy book (I forget which but I'm sure someone will recognize it) suggested that creating rituals of things you enjoy is one of the biggest things you can do to increase your happiness. Not only do you regularly do something you enjoy very much, you get to look forward to it, too, as a consistent part of your life. Maybe you can pick a night of the week to ritualize one of these new things you enjoy. (I am partial to Bananagrams.) Good luck!

This is my parents' thing, not mine (except when I'm visiting) but geocaching! There's an initial outlay for a handheld gps receiver (or the geocaching.com iPhone app), but after that the world is your oyster. My mom and dad are outside every day, seeing parks and cool places they never would have known were right down the road. They've met tons of people, gotten creative with their own cache hides, and gotten so in shape I can't believe it sometimes.
Do a little reading online then jump in. At the least you'll be outside, being active and having a bit of a mental and physical challenge. At the best you'll find new friends (usually other couples even) and have a new hobby that never quite seems to get stale.

Want to work off the pounds you've gained from eating too much, and manage to go walking in the winter? Get some good cold-weather clothing and snowshoes, and go for little hikes in whatever trails you can find in your area.

Definitely make things together. It helps if one person is already into it (my S/O loves to do projects: building things, canning things, playing things). Sometimes we read outloud to each other. But I get bored too, and I love to organize social activities with other friends. Like at least twice a week we'll have people over for either dinner or maybe just lunch on the weekends. It gets us out of our rut, plus it's an excuse to clean the house and get off the internet. Or if you don't like hosting, just going out with other people.

We took a community ed welding class for our anniversary this year. That was awesome.
We have dogs. We play with them, take care of them, make things for them like a grooming table with a ramp so I don't have to bend over or lift them, a raised food bowl for the one who can't reach the floor anymore, etc.
Depending on what my health will allow, we've done things like planting and tending veggie gardens (very satisfying), and getting season tickets to nearby-ish roller coaster parks and going for a couple of hours or so fairly frequent weekday afternoons. If you have a season pass, it's not a big deal if you don't stay for long; you can just come back later. Those are the things I'm really missing this year.
We hang out with his family. He has a great family and they're mostly local. We go play cards or watch movies or just hang out.
We do home maintenance and improvements; some of this is pretty fun, when it involves something new that we don't yet know how to do, or involves putting a lot of thought into how to get it to work.
When we need to do something unusual for my health (ie, go to an out-of-town specialist), we often take a side trip on the way there or back and go see something touristy that we're going to be passing.

We hang out with his family. He has a great family and they're mostly local. We go play cards or watch movies or just hang out.
We do home maintenance and improvements; some of this is pretty fun, when it involves something new that we don't yet know how to do, or involves putting a lot of thought into how to get it to work.
When we need to do something unusual for my health (ie, go to an out-of-town specialist), we often take a side trip on the way there or back and go see something touristy that we're going to be passing.

I'd rather work on my own interests than watch TV with the SO, and prefer they do the same; it makes for a more interesting SO, and a more interesting me!
