Keeping your marriage fresh can sometimes be challenging, but it is a definite must to maintain a healthy relationship.
So, here are some tips that can be customized to fit your budget.
And remember, to get the maximum benefit, be mindful to select options that you will both enjoy and keep the conversation light.
1.
COUPLES PICNIC: Choose a ranch style park that offers horseback riding, long walking paths, and maybe a small lake to reflect and unwind.
Take with you a basket of lunch favorites, something on which to play relaxing music, and 2-person board games or activities to allow you to re-bond.
Take time to just hold each other to remind the other of the love you have to give and the love you need in return.
Afterwards, can stroll the paths or cruise over to the stables for a nice horseback ride through the park.
2.
SCENIC HIKE: Take a drive to a wilderness or canyon park and go for a nice hike.
Its breathe-taking beauty along the trails will certainly create shared intimacy and memories that will last forever.
A great time to visit is in the late afternoon when the sun is setting.
Be sure to call ahead and inquire if the park has any type of waterfalls or any special mountain views that leave you in awe.
3.
HOT AIR BALLOONING: This cozy take off will sure spark a little heat as you go "Up, Up, and Away" from all cares of life that make it difficult to maintain the spark in your relationship.
This adventure is perfect for the couple who has no fear of heights and wouldn't mind floating in the peaceful quiet of the sky while viewing the incredible scenery below while thinking on the great things that connect you together.
It allows for the two of you to focus on how precious and valuable your marriage truly is.
You take off together and you land together.
There is no other option.
4.
AMUSEMENT PARKS: Maybe a thrilling adventure is what you need, so a trip to a theme park such as Disneyland (where dreams do come true), a carnival, or a local fair would be a good choice.
Its rides, variety of unique foods, award areas, and a sea of wild flavored candy can reignite the kid in you as you run around holding hands.
Being young at heart you will begin to feel all warm and misty inside just like you did you in the very beginning.
Love will hold on to the memories that help create it, so it won't be hard to find your way back.
5.
GONDOLA RIDES: Take your spouse to a local Italy for a little touch of Italian love.
Lot's of man made beaches and coves now offer Gondola rides for lovers.
It's nice to go when the weather isn't too warm, which gives you reason to wrap up in a blanket while eating vendor-offered deli delectables, enjoying beverages, and being serenaded by the Gondolier.
6.
SCENIC DRIVE: Take a leisurely drive up or down the coast to a town that you both would really appreciate; a place like Santa Barbara or Oceanside where you can explore the area and leave your love scent that will help you find your way back.
7.
JAZZ LOUNGE: Music has always captured the heart and soul of love.
Take your spouse to a nice jazz lounge where you can wine, dine, and dance.
This is a platform for getting a little closer in the form of body language.
And if dancing is not your talent then watching others can be just as enjoyable.
As long as you and you spouse are talking, laughing, and relishing in the moment, you are creating intimacy.
These are a few ideas to kick off a little Saturday romance and to help put the fun back in your marriage.
Rotate the ideas from time to time and you'll never to have another dull Saturday again.
