5 Getaway Ideas for Married Couples with Children

It isn't always easy for couples to getaway when they have children. It's sometimes even harder to find someone to watch the kids when you and your partner want to spend some quality time together and, hopefully, share some romantic moments together. These are five popular getaway ideas for married couples who want some down time from helicopter parenting their little ones. In addition, if you can get Auntie or Grandpa to watch over the kids, then you are one step closer to having some much needed couple time.

Road Trip!

What a great way to spend some time together, on the way there and when you arrive at your destination. Choose anywhere on the map and go! Sometimes the best conversations can be had in a car. It is a great way for couples to reflect on their memories and life together, as well as tell stories that they haven't shared with each other yet.

Take a Spa-cation!

Couples who spa together - stay together. Well, maybe that isn't the exact phrase, but I am sure that couples are happier if they are relaxed and enjoying soothing massages, refreshing facials and pampering treatments. Book you and your honey in for a spa retreat and let yourselves be ultimately pampered VIP-style.

Go Camping in the Great Outdoors

Conquer the outdoors with your love. You might already be professional campers when it comes to family trips into the great outdoors, but what about spending some time with your partner under the stars and in a sleeping bag built for two. Sounds great doesn't it? Get your tent, pack up the car and go!

Go on a Whitewater Rafting Trip

Seize the day! A little adrenaline always works wonders for married couples and it can awaken the fire between you once again if you have fallen into a routine. Do something completely out of your comfort zone like whitewater rafting, zip lining and for those of you who are really brave, sky diving. Yes, you do need to come back alive and take care of your kiddies, so do make sure you go through professional , qualified companies when it comes to risking it all for love!

Rent a House

It may sound strange to rent a house when you already have one. This is a unique way to get away and escape with your husband or wife. Rent a house or cottage and spend a weekend or week there. Just the two of you, by the fire and without your little adorable rug rats.

Those five ideas are just a few escapes that you can plan when you want to spend some time together nurturing your marriage and relationship. Make sure you include fun in any escape you plan and always, I repeat ALWAYS...think outside of the box. Be original.
