Time: 1 - 2 Hours

STEP 1: Look at convenient getaway dates for the two of you. Everyone needs a change of scenery every once in a while and nothing can spark romance and laughter like enjoying a getaway with your loved one.

STEP 2: Look at locations that are feasible for your pocketbook and would be a good getaway for you two. If funds are an issue, plan a night at a hotel and get away from your usual surroundings to get the relaxation, excitement, or peace you are seeking. Groupons or pitching a tent in the back yard will work. It’s all about reconnecting and creating good memories.

STEP 3: Look for activities that both of you will enjoy, preferably together, but don’t book up your schedules too much. You want to have a good amount of down. Plan a couple of free days and nights to simply see what opportunities present themselves.

STEP 4: Book it. Consider printing out a picture of the location and giving it to your loved one as an “invite”, or purchasing something that can be used while you’re there (i.e. swimsuit, scuba mask, gift card for a massage or golf game, etc.)

STEP 5: Buy some champagne and make a toast to your upcoming trip and keep it top of mind by posting pictures of your destination on the refrigerator or texting them to one another.
