Every relationship needs a time out from reality. The day in and day out struggles of life can really wear on a marriage over time, leaving many marriage problems, and not much time to resolve them. One of the biggest things that keep couples together, apart from marriage counseling, is identifying the problems when the first begin.

Discovering what these issues are before they escalate into a full blown problem may sound hard to accomplish but really most partners can see and feel the issues early on. Like if your partner or yourself is not willing to talk about something or there is a distance between you that can be felt then you know there's an issue that needs to be handled.

As you start to feel the separation between you it's important to give some time to starting to reconnect with each other. An evening out just for the two of you is good but most will need a longer period of time to bond than that, so to truly get to the bottom of it schedule some time away for a romantic vacation.

Going on a romantic getaway is about being together, it's not necessarily all about sex, it's about being somewhere you can both relax and reconnect the relationship. Choose a spot where both partners will feel the stress lift, if you like sun and sand then head for the shore, if you'd rather be stuck in a snowstorm with a big fire then head to the ski mountain.

Activities at the resort location are fun but don't fill up the schedule with them, you are there to spend time together, to discuss what's going on in the relationship and restore it. Going on a romantic trip will go far towards helping rekindle the spark, open up communication and ultimately correct the issues so the relationship thrives. Addressing issues before they get too big will really help in avoiding future problems or even divorce.
