There's something magical about escaping the everyday routine with your partner. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, rekindling romance, or simply craving quality time together, a well-planned weekend getaway can work wonders for your relationship.
Why Weekend Getaways Matter
In our busy lives, it's easy to let days blur together. Work, chores, and responsibilities can push quality couple time to the back burner. A weekend getaway forces you to disconnect from the ordinary and focus entirely on each other.

Planning Tips for the Perfect Getaway
Start with your budget. Weekend getaways don't have to break the bank. Set a realistic budget and look for deals on accommodation and experiences.
Consider driving distance. For a true escape, aim for destinations 2-4 hours away. Far enough to feel like an adventure, close enough to not spend half your weekend traveling.
Plan activities together. Use Lovebae's shared planning features to add activity ideas and vote on what you want to do together.
Leave room for spontaneity. Don't over-schedule. Some of the best memories come from unexpected discoveries.
