Alright, if you are looking for a fun place to getaway for
the weekend with your spouse, this place has it all! This resort is hidden away
in the Texas Piney Woods (28,000 acres of forest). This place has so many fun things to do including; a golf course, world-class
tennis center, a relaxing spa, fitness center, a huge pool area, and is
surrounded by various hiking and biking trails (over 200 miles of it). They even have fun activities at night like
building your own s’mores around their fire pits, or a dive-in movie.
If you plan your trip during the summer,
be sure to check out their enormous pool.
It was rated in the top 10 pool destinations in North America. They have
5 different pools with spas, waterfalls and helix slides. You can also jump on a tube and hold hands
with your spouse as you take a relaxing ride along their 1,005 foot lazy river
that winds through the beautiful surrounding woodlands.
The spa offers some time to sit back and relax with your
spouse. They even have couple’s treatment
rooms so that you can both relax together as you choose from their various body
treatments available.
Remember, use this get-a-way as an opportunity to get to
know your spouse a little better as you leave the rest of life’s worries behind
you. As you sit by the pool, or relaxing
in your hotel room take some time to do John Gottman’s Love Map activity. According to Gottman, having a love map is basically
knowing the little things about your spouse.
The small things that are going on in their lives, and knowing those
things can have a big impact on the healthiness of a relationship. It is important to know what your spouse’s
hopes and dreams are, what are the things that are bugging them at work, or
something they are currently worried about.
Here is a list of some of things
