If you're in a country that has it, you might check out the Society for Creative Anachronism. SCA events are like taking a camping trip at a ren faire. While the combat is strictly foam-padded stuff, a lot of the people who do it also work with real weapons so it shouldn't be hard to find sparring partners. Lots of non-martial things to do as well so it's easy for couples and families to participate.
