Monthly Private Retreat 

"Us Time" is fun! (Love is fun! 😍)

Private Retreat

A Private Retreat is a monthly event (at least) for just you and your spouse! This can be an overnighter or a weekend (i.e. bed & breakfast, camping, hotel etc.), but should at least be a good part of a day (i.e. a Saturday or Sunday at least 5 to 6 hours).

Guidelines

1) Your retreat should include relaxation, good food, walks in nature, hammocks, games, boating, reading something together, watching movies, or whatever you would both enjoy.

2) Please do not talk about your relationship. Note that as with Date Night, a Private Retreat is also a Relationship Cleanse.

3) Sometime during each day (or even 1/2 day) of your retreat, include at least 30 minutes getting to know each other with the "Getting to Know You" App (especially with "Write & Share").

4) For added value please also consider revisiting “Love Map” and/or “Particulars” during your retreat.

The ideal sequence in my opinion is a walk and/or movie on a Friday night at a bed and breakfast.

Saturday morning, “Write & Share” &/or “Face to Face”, “Love Map” and/or “Particulars” for at least 30 minutes and then kayaking, hammocks, hiking, fishing, etc., then home to rescue dog and/or kids. This is just a suggestion. Make it work for you, even if you just have 5 or 6 hours out away from your place, together, alone and include some “Getting to Know You” time.

Note that if you go south in any sharing, put it all on your Request List, run out of the Hotel together as fast as you can, return to a “Relationship Cleanse” status and enjoy your hike or whatever together.

Please consider scheduling 2 or 3 Private Retreats right away! ☺

P.S. Do not compare yourself to the couple pictured above. They are paid models. No one should be having that much fun, or... I could be wrong.🤨 Let me know.
