Simply Getaway for Reconnecting Your Marriage

It is important to simply getaway for reconnecting your marriage.

We have all heard it before. You must make time for your marriage. It makes total sense. If you cherish something, you spend time with it. Easily done until you have kids and life happens. So what now?

walk down memory Lane.

I love the opportunity to walk down memory lane when it comes to how my husband and I met. We both attended Mississippi College for sports. I went to run cross country and he went to play football. Before Mississippi College, we did not know each other. I am originally from Mississippi, and he is from Louisiana. It didn’t take long for most of the athletes to know one another. We might know every single person’s name, but we could recognize faces.

All the athletes at Mississippi College arrived to the campus 2 weeks before the rest of the students. This was to give the athletes a chance to get settled in and to start conditioning and practicing before the upcoming school year. I would see Kyle in the cafeteria as well as the training room.

He has that personality that you love to be around because he is either making you laugh or he knows his worth (not letting others walk all over him). I always wish I had his later trait! I obviously enjoyed being in the same room with him. Before the end of our first semester of our freshman year, I messed up my IT band. Let’s just say it isn’t fun. Also meaning that I wasn’t going to be running anytime soon.

I decided to switch things over to being a student trainer. On one of the away games, Kyle tore is ACL/MCL. You know what trainer begged to assist him? This trainer. It was from that point going further that we became more than friends and married 7 years later. God knew what He was doing when He brought us both to that college.

How to keep the love story going.

Practically every marriage starts off with all the warm and fuzzies. You and your spouse are inseparable. Is there anything they can do to make you really mad? That first year is so magical. Then what? Life begins to truly enter the picture. This includes kids, jobs, finances, and extended family. Did I forget to mention the world? There is going to be a lot that is thrown at your marriage. You might as well except this fact.

You then can make the decision if you are going to work for your marriage. As I said, the beginning of your marriage just seems easy. It is new and you are finally living your life with the one person you truly love. Once all these outside factors start pushing their way into your marriage, the love within your marriage can slowly be chiseled at. This is not what God intended for you and your spouse.

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
-Mark 10:9

God’s decree is that you are one in marriage. As long as you keep Him the centerfold, no one can separate your sacred union. So how does one do this?

Love and patience above all.

Love and patience are spoken of very often in scripture. God is love and when you make him the center, you are experiencing love. When you love someone, you want the very best for them. You don’t want anything to harm them and you want to cherish them. God’s love for us is how we must love our spouse. This is where patience comes in.

Marriage isn’t meant to be easy. You must be patient with one another. Living together and trying to keep a home a float takes work. It also takes patience. Being patient with what life throws at you. It is easy to be aggravated on no sleep after being up all night with a sick child. I am not saying you will never get frustrated, but you have to keep love and patience in the front of all things.

You will grow as a married couple and learn to love each other deeper than you could ever have known. Again, by keeping love and patience in the center. A marriage based around God is an absolute must.

It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.
Genesis 2:18

Getaway for reconnecting your marriage.

God wants you to work with your spouse. You will become a team and working together with each up and down that life hands you. This is a lot of work! It can be exhausting constantly keeping things a float and making sure everyone in your household is well. Kids are such a blessing, but can start becoming a priority over your spouse. Instead of taking the time to cherish your spouse, you are putting a lot of energy into your kids.

At some point, you need to reconnect with your husband. You don’t want things to be shadowed or lost. This is where the getaway for reconnecting your marriage comes into play. The best way to reconnect is to getaway with just the 2 of you. Date nights are great, but sometimes even those are filled with you worrying about the kids and hoping you get back home in plenty of time.

Kyle and I had the opportunity to getaway to a Getaway cabin this past weekend. Y’all. It was exactly what we needed. 1 night. 1 night without all the worldly distractions. A night where we could just concentrate on us. It is how it all started and how you should be able to meet again. We spent the late afternoon and evening just enjoying each others company. There wasn’t a tv or the hustle and bustle of life to get in our way.

These Getaway cabins are set up for you to disengaged with the world. It is almost a tad bit like glamping. We stopped by a local grocery store right before we got to the site. Grabbing all that we needed to cook dinner/breakfast over a campfire. Instant coffee was also a must! This is the best getaway for reconnecting your marriage with only nature surrounding you both.

Don’t let life get in the way of your marriage happiness.

God intended your marriage to be a partnership. One filled with love and the ability to work together when things get tough. Keeping Him in the center is the key. I pray that each and every one of you have a marriage full of love and patience. A marriage where you are excited to have a team that has been put together for better or for worse. A power team that can be unstoppable. Make a point to put your marriage at the forefront when life has other plans.
