Disconnect to Reconnect: Why Couples Need Alone Time Away

Do any of these describe you and your relationship?

- You love your spouse, but you sort of hate being alone with them

- When you’re alone with your spouse, you feel bored, anxious, or uncomfortable

- You’re so stressed out in life, but when you try to relax, you just can’t

- You don’t trust your spouse to go on trips together without it becoming a negative experience

- You’re getting bored with your sex life

- Or maybe, you’ve felt like this about your spouse:

“I don’t even know if I love you or if I want to be married to you.”

Even if you said yes to just one of those, it could be time to consider taking a vacation with your spouse ALONE.

That means no kids, no social media, no friends, no buffers…


Work, life, finances, kids – it can all tend to make us distracted, stressed, or even disconnected from our spouses. Even when you’re doing date nights, and trying to be intentional about connecting with your spouse within your regular life schedule, there’s a lingering sense of life’s demands just begging for your attention.


If you’re not careful, this could have painful repercussions in the long run. 


So, for the sake of your marriage’s future, tune in to this episode to learn how couple-only vacations can lead to better communication, rekindled romance, and stronger emotional connections.
