Weekend getaway

You could do something as simple as taking a walk together, go on a scenic hike and have a picnic, or recreating your first date or most memorable date.

If I were you, I'd get two pieces of paper, one for him and one for you. Sit in front of each other and on one side, make a list of all the things you love about him and why. On the other side of the paper, write your favorite memories you've shared together and he do the same with his piece of paper. When you're both done, sit close, look into each other's eyes and read what's on your papers. Take a trip and go down memory lane and remind each other why you love one another. He purposed for a reason and you said yes for a reason. That's what I would do. I wish you both the best of luck!

You can even bring some cute lovey dovey games

I would just plan some fun things to do together that don't involve cell phones or computers. Whether it's a hike, couples massage, yoga class, camping, board games, movie, dinner out, etc.

This I would second. I am in a long distance relationship with my FH, and things definitely get fraught and I get depressed or frustrated with everything. Because we are online most of the time, I have 100s of photos of our conversations together. When I get low, I read back through them, and it helps me to remember why I persevere with it all, and why I fell for him.

I also have a playlist made up of songs we've sent each other that I listen to, as it helps me feel more connected to him.

Sit and just talk...first try and clear the air between you two. In premarital counseling we're learning about the meaning of oneness in a marriage and it talks about not putting your personal issues at the front of the list and putting yourself aside for a change to lend a hand/ear/emotional support to your partner. So like listening and validating your partners feelings and accepting what's being said. We recently did that exercise (on Monday night) because we were bumping heads a lot and it honestly really helped bring us back.


Once that's out then you can talk about the fun stuff, about your favorite memories together of when you first started. It's always super fun in the beginning so it's good to relive those times so you can remember why your even doing this in the first place. Get cozy, make some home made board games, dress up the room you'll be hanging out in, have some fun interactive snacks that you can make together and just talk! More great things will unfold that weekend once you clear the air, remember your WHY and then have some fun!
