Couples Spa Weekend Getaways

According to Linda Robertson, professor of Human Development and Family Studies at the University of Wisconsin, couples who have positive, enjoyable experiences together have greater relationship satisfaction. She also states couples may have to sacrifice solitary leisure time to achieve this joint quality time. Scheduling a couple's weekend at the spa creates time for both of you to relax and build a memory together so that you're nourishing your relationship without "sacrificing" relaxation time.
