Marriage Advice For Overworked Couples
My wife and I have been planning a getaway from our five children for a couples retreat, and after doing some research in our local area we are looking at sneaking away from home for a couple of nights at one of the Utah resorts not too far away from our home. By splitting up the kids between my sister and grandma we can make an escape to the mountains and have a chance to reconnect with each other once more. With all of the strains and stresses of finishing a teaching degree and running between programs for school plays and all of the other activities of work that are associated with the daily routine it seems like forever since we have been able to take a break from all of the demands of life and spend some quality time together.
Because of our busy schedules we wanted to plan a simple weekend to ourselves that does not require a great deal of planning or preparation. What we found was a beautiful Utah resort within a short distance that caters to the kind of pampering that we are looking for. Aside from the luxurious accommodations, we have found a quiet place that has a full spa and natural mineral baths, golfing on a private course, and dining options that allow us to mingle with other people or hide out in our room and order in. After being married for 17 years we have discovered that it is essential to the health of our marriage to take a well deserved break from our obligations every once in a while and recharge our batteries, just the two of us.
