Summer is officially here. Although this is a great time to spend with your family, it can also be a time that cause strain on your marriage. With the kids out of school, and fun to be had by all, it’s easy to fill your calendar to the absolute max. If you aren’t careful your marriage can feel the effects of this. It can come to the point where you and your spouse are like two ships that pass in the night. That weakens connection.

Here at A Beautiful Adventure Marriage, we are all about adventure and fun, but not at the expense of your relationship. Join us on this podcast as we look at 5 ways to have fun this summer, enjoy your kids, but still keep your connection as husband and wife.

5 Ways for Your Marriage to Thrive this Summer Don’t over-commit yourself or your family

Sit down and have a discussion as husband and wife to figure out what your capacity is this summer.

After you and your spouse have the chance to sit down together, then include the kids.

Another way you can keep your calendar free is to limit the number of activities per week.

Its Ok to Tell Your Kids… No

Honestly, kids need to see what a good marriage is more than they need to do every single activity that comes up.

Schedule Regular Date Nights

Dating is one of the best ways to keep connection and intimacy alive in your marriage.

Share in each Other’s Interest and Hobbies.

I believe everyone has more fun when they know they will get a turn to choose what is done.

Have Weekly Check Ins

You and your spouse will have to work together as a team for this to be successful. Have Fun this Summer

By the time fall gets here, you don’t want to be exhausted with little to show for it. Doing everything we mentioned above may take a little work on the front end, but this work will help you and your family to have an amazing summer.

Our prayer is that you and your family will end summer closer than when you went into it.
