About this listen

Feeling disconnected from your spouse? You're not alone. Life’s busy seasons — raising kids, careers, and constant responsibilities — can slowly erode intimacy and connection. But what if one of the most effective ways to reignite your relationship was simpler than you thought?

In this episode of A Purpose Driven Marriage, we explore how taking intentional time away together — whether a weekend staycation or a full-blown getaway — can deeply impact your marriage. It may be surprising, but intentional time together has been shown to help:

  • Rekindle intimacy

  • Improve communication

  • Increase relationship satisfaction

  • Build lasting memories that strengthen your bond

If your marriage feels dry or disconnected, this episode is your permission slip to prioritize your relationship and make time for just the two of you. Let’s dive in!
