How to Create Your Own Marriage Retreat

Do you and your girlfriends talk about how you wish you could afford a vacation with your husbands but do not know how to pull it off? Is everyone having issues with not having enough quality time with their spouses? Create your own marriage retreat and save money as well as have fun.

Rent a Cabin
Rent a cabin that has enough bedrooms for all of you. Call ahead about rates and try and plan it off season, This not only saves on your wallet, you're all more likely to be able to take the time off work to go.

Plan Day Activities
Check out local attractions, such as shows and restaurants as well as outdoor activities like hiking and boating. Plan an itinerary to do at least one fun thing everyday when creating your own marriage retreat to bring the fun back into your relationships. Poll everyone beforehand about favorite things to do and all agree to try new things as well.

Plan Evening Fun
Have a favorite movie night where everyone pops some popcorn and watches another couple's favorite flick. Bring group games for a night of cards, trivia and drinks. Plan another night stargazing on the hill with blankets and binoculars.

Trade Off Chores
Every couple take turns making breakfast so the others can sleep in. Do this with lunches and dinners as well. Cooking is a great way to feel closer to your spouse, and so is some extra time snuggling in bed together.

Write Thank You Notes
The last night together, have everyone write down and read out loud what they enjoyed most about their time spent with their spouse. The best part about creating your own marriage retreat with other couples who are friends is that there will be less embarrassment about being romantic. Plan on spending the last night in your prospective rooms until check-out the next day.
