Staycation!

There are some great, historic inns here in downtown Globe. The Chrysocolla Inn. This Inn was once a boarding house during the turn of the century, as Globe was booming.


Another unique, local inn is the Noftsger Hill Inn. This inn was once a school, therefore it boasts of spacious rooms with sitting areas and wonderful historic memorabilia. 



Marriage Reconnect

Enjoy your own marriage retreat here in this historic community. Just enjoy relaxing together: be it reading side by side or together on a shaded porch or garden area, learning about mining history or ghost stories, just be present and keep away from the usual topics of kids, house, work, chores, etc.

Swap Meet!

Image
Run to the far end of town (ok, you can drive) on a weekend and go to the Globe Park n' Swap. Make a game of it and set a limit for each other, say $10? Now you can decide if you want to find things you actually need/want or weird things...but see which of you can be the best bargain finder and/or haggler! Enjoy the competition. Marriage Reconnect Share with each other something you learned in the past week. Often times we don't reflect on the things that we have seen, done, or learned in a week--not recognizing that we are becoming better, smarter, and stronger. You may have to dig through your mind on this one, but it doesn't have to be extraordinary. This is another way to bond with your spouse; possibly they will have questions about the thing you shared or maybe you will have something come up that you both want to learn more about.

He expresses that body language is very important. Do you have good body language in your relationship? Where can you improve? è Scene 1: “Listen to what she is saying.” This is another piece of advice that is given from the “expert”. How are your verbal communication skills and listening skills in your marriage? When we are with the same person for so long, after awhile things become lax; we are comfortable with who we are and who they are, but we begin to focus less on that other person.
