One study found that ⅓ of couples are spending less than 30 minutes a day together. It’s hard to find time for each other with children and a hectic work schedule. But, you can take comfort in knowing that spending time with your partner is more about quality than quantity. What better way to find quality time than at a private getaway for just you two? This guide explains why you should schedule a romantic trip.

 3 Benefits of a Romantic Getaway

1. Rediscover Your Partner

Most partners don’t get to spend time together until the end of a busy day; when they do, you might be amid chores or dozing off to your favorite television show. Neither of these activities gives you the chance to truly connect, communicate, and have meaningful conversations. Without time for regular conversations, you might lose track of your partner’s latest likes, dislikes, and goals; you may even forget what drew you to them in the first place. A getaway can force you out of your routine and understand each other with a fresh perspective.

2. Rest & Relaxation

One in three adults doesn't get enough sleep each night. Sleep deprivation has many negative effects such as impaired concentration, depression, and anxiety. On your private getaway, away from early-rising children and alarm clocks, you can sleep in, enjoy the sunshine, and feel better overall. In this rested state, you’ll be attentive and happy in each other’s company. You’ll be ready to chat without dozing and look forward to evenings without any chores.

3. Explore a New Place Together

Chances are, you and your partner are accustomed to a certain routine — wake up, have breakfast and coffee, head out the door, and do it again. If you have kids, that routine might feel more permanent and stressful. When you go on a private getaway and explore a new place together, you remember that there is a world outside of your monotony. Additionally, you might be used to doing everything as a group if you have children. When you travel as a couple, you create unique memories that only you have access to, which reinforces your bond.
