Let's face it, our days are busy and we get so involved in job-related issues, kid-related issues and all of our chores that we forget to focus on our marriage. Sadly, losing this special connection with your spouse usually has dire consequences. Rather than continue to drift, here are some easy ways to revitalize this important relationship.
Sometimes all it takes is a commitment to get out together one night each week, just the two of you. Try to plan an evening out at least two or three times each month. A simple dinner and movie night is perfectly fun, but you also could consider attending a concert or touring a local museum or even just getting out for a cup of coffee or even taking a walk.
Of course, your weekly date doesn't always have to be at night. You can head out to the local lake or harbor and enjoy some paddle boarding or a kayak trek. Go hiking in a cool, nearby wilderness area or enjoy a morning shopping for curiosities at a big flea market. If you both like golf or bowling, why not go and do that? Capitalize on any shared interest that you have. So often we spend weekends doing chores, but we really need to make a point to enjoy something fun together.
Sometimes you have to be the one to make that first move, so just start out with something simple, like packing them a special lunch with their favorite treats or maybe bringing home a bouquet of flowers. Send a cute text now and then or write a note in your lipstick on the bathroom mirror. Transform yourself back into that fun girlfriend or boyfriend you were back in the day when you were dating. Obviously, life has changed, but you can still have fun.
Sometimes it's a great idea to plan a vacation just for the two of you. Ask friends or family to watch the kids for a long weekend or even a week and get away. Select someplace where relaxation is the main focus of your trip, such as cabin in the wilderness or perhaps a cruise or a romantic trip to somewhere in paradise such as Maui. An island vacation in Maui is a particularly romantic option, filled with soft ocean breezes, warm tropical waters and spectacular sunsets. Often, a change of scene alone will help two people reconnect.
If you do plan a Maui getaway, surprise your partner with a truly romantic gesture, such as a vow renewal ceremony right on the beach. Contact Love Maui Weddings and let these experienced Maui wedding planners handle all the details. They offer a special vow renewal package for just $299, entitled "Love, Always."
