Do you think that getting away for a bit with your spouse, or kids etc.. away from all the familiar surroundings and stressors can be the answer to a strained relationship? Has this ever worked for you?
Yes I do I think that everyone deserves and should make some time for themselves, even a few hours can make a diff. I have done it the last two yrs with my girls in Ohio. Made the time and relaxed and came home happier.
Yes and no. I agree with Judi. I think it is important for a person to make time for themselves! I don't know that taking a weekend away would reduce any of the stressors for me though. I have small children and nobody I really trust them with for more than a few hours so I would spend most of the time worried about them and their well being. Don and I used to take weekend trips and it was great but that was before we had kids to worry about while we were gone.
Even sitting in your own house and making time alone to talk, or whatever "helps" but doesn't really work until you get away from your kids, your chores, your stresses. You just have to make sure you are "working" on things while away and not just using it as a distraction.
