A spa day can rejuvenate your body, your relationship
Taking time out for couples to focus only on each other is not only fun and romantic, it is crucial to the health of the marriage.
Valentine’s Day provided a springboard for nurturing relationships. A day for two at the spa is the perfect setting because it offers the chance to reconnect in a relaxed, stress-free environment.
“The way life is structured today, children are far more likely to strain a relationship, which is why couples need to take time away from the kids,” said Donna Schmitz, Outagamie County director for think marriage.com, based in Green Bay. “Relationships work best when they are felt and seen as a unified team. Shift the balance away from kids and chaos to calm and soothing and your senses are refreshed as well as your feelings of intimacy for your spouse.”
Schmitz describes getting away as “decompressing your relationship. The messages you each receive are that you are loved and appreciated. The bond between couples is always strengthened during those intimate times of being alone.”
Think marriage.com, whose purpose is fostering healthy marriages by giving couples the tools they need to communicate and care for each other, offers classes on a variety of topics.
Ann and Chris Roth of Little Chute marked their 14th wedding anniversary last February with a two-night stay at Sundara Spa in Wisconsin Dells.
A heavy snowfall two days before they arrived gave the Roths exactly what they wanted — a beautiful winter get-away.
“It was very peaceful and quiet. Very seldom did we run into anybody else,” Ann Roth said. “It was just so calming. It was drop-dead gorgeous.”
The Roths, who have children ages 4 and 6, chose not to take advantage of typical spa amenities such as massages, pedicures and other pampering services. Instead, they had meals brought to their room and enjoyed each other’s company while cross-country skiing.
“They made it that way so that you had your privacy,”
Schmitz encourages couples to be creative and spontaneous when spending time together. She and her husband enjoy what she calls a “spa experience” just by visiting High Cliff State Park and hiking around the woods for an hour. “Plenty of privacy and the sounds of nature are relaxing and refreshing.
“The way couples stay close and avoid the kind of surprise that feels like betrayal is by taking the time to talk about their hopes and dreams together.”
