For our 35th anniversary, my husband and I rented a cabin in a wooded area. For 6 days, we just hung out together. We didn't do anything "exciting." The excitement came from spending uninterrupted time together.

What do you do to recharge your married relationship? Now, your turn!

Hi Connie. Thanks for popping in.

My husband and I love to recharge our marital batteries by taking a drive along the beach. It's a great way for us to take a step out of our day-to-day in order to reconnect and reflect. It's a kind of health check-up for our life together.

We also try to make it a point to skip out of town for a weekend once a month, if possible. We still live with our adult children so the couple time is essential. smile

It isn't always easy for couples to recharge their marriage batteries when their lives are so busy and energy wanes. Getting out for a date night can even be more work than relaxation when there are sitters to pay for, schedules to juggle, and worries to try to put out of one's mind.

Reminds me of that Tina Fey and Steve Carrell movie called, "Date Night." If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it for a few laughs. Marrieds with kids will recognize themselves in it.

A single night doesn't always recharge the relationship. And, I've found that weekends away, while wonderful, aren't as helpful as sneaking in all of those small, sweet moments of connecting with your spouse. Those recharge my marriage batteries.

Just a quiet snuggle together on the sofa. A neck massage after a long day at work. An encouraging smile. Understanding, acceptance, support. And lots and lots of laughter.

Believe me, you can't fix a contentious relationship over a single candlelit dinner no matter how much wine flows.

We take a coffee break together in the morning, sitting in our quiet library upstairs that gets the morning sun ...

Planning uninterrupted quality time is key, whether you stay in, go out, or get away for a while. Reconnecting by listening and touching, experiencing new things, or just by taking a nature walk together can do wonders to strengthen the bond between you.

In the past year, we have both retired! That recharges the batteries. Finally, we get to spend more time together. We do projects that we have wanted to complete for a long time.
