Relationships need nurturing.
Everyone knows that. If you don’t put in the effort to spend time together or go out on romantic date nights, it’s easy to lose the spark which brought you together. Sometimes, though, even your efforts could struggle to keep things afloat. If one of you is stressed, for example, or work keeps you apart, it’s easy to go astray. If these kinds of issues persist, you could find yourself on a raging relationship sea in no time.
Of course, none of us want to give up on our relationships. That’s why, when date nights stop working, we reach for the big guns. If you’re doing just that, it’s possible that a romantic getaway could be the thing you need to get your relationship back on track. These are fantastic for rekindling that flame. Done right, they ensure your relationship is your only focus for the duration. At least, they can if you take the following precautions for the perfect getaway.
Book somewhere secluded.
Prime tourist areas will never help you smooth things over. You’ll spend the whole trip stressed out and surrounded by distractions. That’s why you need to look for somewhere which offers isolation. Forget ‘romantic’ hot spots like Paris and Venice. Search for quiet island destinations. These can see you and your man spending plenty of time alone.
The Caribbean is fantastic for this, with options like these Christopher Columbus Condos in Grand Cayman offering beach-side seclusion. Equally, quiet locations like Vernazza in Italy could work well. The main thing is that you ensure plenty of alone time. This peace will give you a chance to talk about issues, or even get reacquainted in the bedroom. That’s never going to happen in a tourist-heavy area.
Leave your phones at home.
Taking your phones on a romantic getaway is never a good idea, especially if you’re feeling distant. With our smartphones, it’s possible to go without saying anything for hours. As such, you may use your screens to avoid each other rather than addressing matters. That won’t solve anything. Make sure it doesn’t happen by keeping phones out of reach. At the very least, leave them in your hotel safe. Then, use the time you would’ve spent scrolling to talk. You may find that removing this divide is all it takes to rebuild your romance.
Plan new experiences together.
Often, it’s the new experiences we face which really cement us as couples. If you and your man have gotten stuck in your routines, it’s no wonder you’re drifting apart. Change that by using this break to face new experiences together. It may be that you book up for lessons in pottery or surfing while you’re away.
Or, you might fancy excursions like boat rides or car trips you embark on together. Even just agreeing to order something new together off a food menu could help. The point is that these are shared experiences. They could well see you moving into your future together feeling stronger than ever.
