What issues do you need to walk through to make fun a part of your marriage? How often do you want to plan for fun? What is reasonable for you to do for fun in a year? You might choose to schedule a getaway annually, biannually or quarterly if you can afford it. Agree on a frequency for fun and then discuss your financial ability to plan for this expenditure. It will be a lot less fun if you spend your entire time worrying how much all of it is costing.

Having a strong, intimate marriage costs money, just as having a healthy body or increasing wealth takes money. So long as you remain in agreement, then fun can remain fun.
