Doing activities together is a great bonding experience for couples. The bond is further strengthened when couples volunteer their time and effort for a good cause. Habitat for Humanity accepts volunteers to build homes for lower-income families. The organization allows volunteers to participate in their own neighborhoods or in international locations from the townships in South Africa to the favellas of Brazil. A fun weekend could be planned in New Orleans. Volunteer to build in the morning, then enjoy the city's decadent night scene with rich jazz music and culinary delights for every palate.
