Every relationship suffers from the grind of life. Bills, kids, bosses & everyday nonsense can bring your love life (& sex life) to a screeching halt. One way of combating this “life fatigue” is to plan a simple one night, or day, getaway. As we mentioned in our dates article, the point of these exercises is quality time with your lover without the everyday worries.

Another advantage to a brief getaway is the change of scenery. Some people just can’t unwind & relax in normal, familiar surroundings & god knows the phone always rings at the wrong time! Getting away puts a wall between you & your everyday life that will allow you to forget these problems, if only for a night, & enjoy the company of your lover.

Plan Within Your Budget

Since a major worrying point of almost every couple is money, try to plan something that will allow you these take these romantic getaways without adding fuel to the budget fire. The point here is time away, not expense. The simple things are the ones that will mean the most to you both, if you allow them to be used for what they were meant for.

A simple evening of dancing or a concert followed by an evening in a hotel could do wonders in the long run. You must remember how to live & enjoy each other & each others company. Trust me, money won’t do it for you, it’s time, solitude & being together that bonds your relationship. If money is a major concern we recommend you read our dates article & try some of the ideas for an at home getaway. A neat idea for these romantic home getaways is to tell everyone you are going away for the weekend & stay home, lock the doors & shut off the phone! As long as you don’t have nosey neighbors watching the house no one will know. Buy everything you need in advance & just ignore the world, but don’t ignore each other!

If Money is No Object

Many people, myself included, get so flustered with life that they just don’t care what it costs anymore. I am one of those people that will work myself until I’m so run down I have to get away & I don’t care how much it costs! This is also true of getaways. Many hotels have wonderful evening or day packages that include a dinner, drinks, a suite & breakfast. These packages are perfect for those “Let Me Out” times. Many of these hotels also offer great rates on these packages during off times like during the week. If you can swing a mid week getaway these are the deals to look for. Call around to your local hotels, motels & resorts to see if they offer any of these deals.

Weekend Trips

If your really in the mood to get out we suggest a weekend getaway. Once again, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune so plan within your budget. A cabin in the woods, a house at the beach or just a local hotel can all be used for these occasions & if planned right can be quite inexpensive. If your into something a little more lavish try some of the airlines great 2 & 3 day getaways different areas. Many big cities such as New York & San Francisco have some wonderful weekend getaway packages set up through travel agencies & airlines. For those with simpler tastes we might recommend a camping trip to a local park or a quaint bed & breakfast.

Just Do It!

No matter what you do or where you go, the point of this all is to get out. Relieving stress from everyday life will put a whole new light on your attitude & your lover. Spending time alone, away from it all can be the shot of penicillin your relationship needs. As I have stated so many times in these pages, all to often we let life’s problems drag us down & our relationship with the one we love always suffers. Making time for yourself & your love life will always reward you.
