You are finally getting away without the kids – how can you ensure that you have a fight-free time away and so some bonding …….
Align your Expectations. Discuss each of your expectations so that you know you are one the same page. If your expectations differ, how can you compromise?
Get on the same page about your budget. Touch base to ensure that you haves discussed additional expenses. Will you eat out for every meal – or self cater? How much flexibility do you have for extra expenses or splurges?
Take things in your stride and be prepared to go with the flow. Dont complain unnecessarily, go with the flow and keep a sense of humour if mishaps occur.
Active the away time model. If you are away, be away – dont take work along and let go of stress and frustrations so that you can maximise your together time. Dont be afraid to let your fun, silly and romantic side show.
