Reignite Your Relationship with a Couples Retreat in Spain

How to make the most of your couple’s retreat

If you and your partner have decided to take some time away from your busy lives with a couple’s retreat, it will be the perfect time to relax, rekindle and revitalise your relationship.  Whether you feel as if you have both neglected your relationship, or you have simply drifted apart because of your busy schedules, these are our top tips to help you make the most of your couple’s retreat.

1.     Use the time away as a digital detox

This is your time together away from your usual daily lives, so take the chance to use the retreat as a digital detox. By eliminating potential distractions, you will learn to focus on each other and to truly connect in a way which you may not have done for a long time. This is a retreat for the two of you, so forget about the demands of sharing everything on social media and instead focus on the present.

Technology is a big distractor, with notifications, mindless scrolling and video streaming potentially taking away from your valuable time together. Although it is probably important that you bring your mobile phone on the trip, it should be safely stored in your room so that you are not tempted to check in on life at home.

2.     Take time to relax

This is your time to de-stress and relax away from your usual lives, so forget about work, household chores and other commitments. This retreat is a holiday for you both, so do not feel pressure to always be on the go. Instead, relax and take the time to simply enjoy each other’s company, explore the area at a slow pace and unwind with activities that leave you feeling relaxed and pampered.

Think about activities such as massages, spa treatments, yoga, gentle walks and even dancing, as these will all release positive endorphins which boost your mood. This positive outlook will help you to forget about your usual worries, so that you have the space in your minds available to truly focus on your connection.

3.     Listen to each other

Before you leave home have a conversation about what you are both looking to achieve from the retreat. Within your relationship there may be one person who naturally tends to lead the way with decisions, so take this as an opportunity to see what you both want and learn a new balance. This could extend to decisions over how to spend your free time during the retreat, or even the areas of your relationship which you are looking to focus on.

Although you are embarking on a couple’s retreat, it is important that you both open up about exactly what you are looking to achieve. By truly listening to each other you will help to avoid the usual heated debates which create a feeling of negativity, instead the retreat should feel like a positive and happy space where you leave your usual issues and relationship problems behind.
