  • Discussion

     

    Why is a getaway important?

    • It gives you something to look forward to
  • To reconnect
  • To celebrate your marriage
    • This may be a new concept for you.
  • Parents never took vacations together
  • Leaving a legacy for legacy
  • To make new memories
  • What should we do on our getaway?

    • Sex
    • Corinthians 7:1-4 “Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.”
    ‭‭
  • Set goals
  • Spend time doing things you enjoy doing together
  • Try something new
  • REST!!!
    • Mark 6:30-31” The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.””

  • We are a society that’s busier than ever these days.
    • Kids are constantly on the go.
  • Ministry
  • Work
  • How long should a getaway last?

    • We recommend at least 3-4 days (but shoot for as long as possible)-it may take you 1 whole day for travel and just to unwind from the last few months or year depending on how long it’s been since your last getaway.
  • If you go to a conference try to go a day or 2 ahead and/or stay a day or two later
  • As important as the number of days are, and they are, the quality of the time is just as important.
  • Who goes on the getaway?

    • Husband and wife only
    • This says to your spouse you are important to me. I want to spend this time with you.
  • You can plan a family vacation and include the kids later.
  • Where should we go?

    • Personal choice
    • Conferences
    • Good for getting refreshed in the Word on how to be married God’s way.
  • Cruises
  • All inclusive resort
  • Different cities or states
  • Favorite hotels
  • To see or do something on your Bucket List
  •  

    What should we do to prepare?

    • Pray/Fast ahead of time.
    • John 10:10  “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” ‭‭
  • Plan ahead financially (spending plan)
  • Make sure you get passports way ahead of time if you’re leaving the country
  • Have backup plans for childcare/petcare
  •
