?
Sometimes the best thing you can do to save your marriage after cheating is take a little time away from the worldtogether.
There are those who would argue that taking a marriage break after cheating is the best solution. In some case that is the case. But every relationship is a little difference and when you're trying to make your marriage work, the opportunity to get closer is one that's just too good to pass up.
Why Getting Away is Good for Your Marriage
Getting away from kids, work, commitments, and responsibilities is a great way to lift a weight off your shoulders. This opens the doors for you to get busy working on your marriage instead. You can concentrate on saving your marriage instead of worrying about all the other distractions in your life.
That doesn't mean that the other things are unimportant. But too many couples forget that their marriages are important too. More importantly, marriages NEED to be worked on once in a while.
If you take your marriage for granted; then your marriage isn't likely to improve on its own. Getting away for a weekend, a long weekend, or a week (is even better) shows that you BOTH are willing to work on your marriage and that's a TERIFFIC starting point!
How to Use Your Time Wisely
Getting away is great but it will only be the rip-roaring success you want it to be if you manage to use your time together wisely. So here are few suggestions that will help you stay on the straight and narrow.
Avoid contentious issues. If you have trouble agreeing on where to go for dinner set a schedule where you take turns choosing. Better yet, consider packages that include meals are suites that allow cooking.
Make a list. Write down topics that are important to discuss and work out. Keep them to a minimum of the MOST important issues you need to address in the relationship and pick two or three from each list so you are equally represented.
Have some fun together. Don't make this an all work and no play getaway. Remember to have fun together. I KNOW it's hard. It's been a while. FUN is what you used to have together before the weight of the world took a toll on your marriage. This is the perfect time to bring it back into your marriage and let it take center stage.
The main thing if you really want to get your ex back or save your marriage as a result of your time away is that you make the most of the time you have. It isn't about the amount of time but how you spend that time that will make the difference for your marriage.
