Since my wife and I don't have children, I spend the majority of my free time with her. We pretty much do everything together, I'm sure tonight we will watch Netflix and have dinner like usual. We will probably make fun if whatever we watch, and laugh at lot.
Laughing a lot together sounds wonderful!
We also have a Netflix routine that we like to break up. Sitting on the couch 5 out of 7 days a week watching Netflix seems like a lot of wasted time and a monotonous activity... So we want to break the routine, but right now we don't really know how. Hence the question.

How about a regular dance class together?

first and foremost, it sounds like you're interested in introducing more quality time. here are a few ideas that I have, most are things I saw my parents do:
- go for a walk, bike, hike, or something. but just walking around the block is straightforward.
- read a book or poem to her (if you want to keep it short and easy, to start, I recommend trying just one random page from the Tao te Ching) (I've linked the digital version, but get a paperback, they're tiny and you can carry them around easily)
- do a crossword together
- sit on the floor stretching & listen to an album from start to finish
- talk to each other, but not about politics if you can avoid it
- get some crayons and do some coloring books
- grow a chia pet (they're surprisingly complicated to get started)
- learn a card game, or dominoes, or backgammon
if all else fails, you could tell her about bitcoin ;)
