Hot tubs are nothing if not versatile. Whether you’re looking to improve your health or get in shape, a hot tub can help.
One of the more unexpected benefits of hot tubs, though, is their ability to bring you closer to your spouse and help your marriage flourish.
Here are 4 reasons why you need a hot tub in your marriage:
- More alone time.
- Better conversations.
- Easy staycations.
- A stronger friendship.
1. More Alone Time
If you and your spouse work, and especially if you have children, it can be very difficult to carve out some alone time.
After all, the saying “life happens” exists for a reason. To-do lists, logistics, work, raising children and simple distractions tend to get in the way of something more important: your relationship.
With a one-on-one soak in the hot tub, though, you and your spouse can enjoy some meaningful alone time that’s completely free of distraction. No kids, pets, chores, smartphones or TV — just the two of you.
With a hot tub in your backyard, all you need to do is walk outside and you’re ready for some relaxing time together.
2. Better Conversations
In a hot tub, the distractions of electronic devices, children or a blaring TV will melt away.
What you’ll be left with is quality conversation. If you’re accustomed to spending your free time watching Netflix or scrolling through Instagram, this will be a welcomed change.
Soon, you’ll notice that yourself getting lost in conversation, simply enjoying the company of your spouse. In a modern marriage that’s barraged with constant interruptions, few things are more valuable than that.
3. Easy Staycations
Most couples can agree that it’s difficult to find the time and money to go on vacation. You might not be able to get time off work, or you might lack the funds for a trip to the Bahamas.
For hot tub owners, though, a tranquil staycation is just steps away. With massaging jets, hot water and stars overhead, you and your spouse will soon forget you’re in your own backyard.
To enhance your staycation experience ever further, you could try incorporating aromatherapy, dressing up your backyard with some outdoor mood lighting or practicing some relaxing hot tub yoga.
4. A Stronger Friendship
While your hot tub conversations may concern more serious topics (and that’s a good thing!) it’s also important to nurture a healthy friendship with your spouse. As you may have guessed, a hot tub is the perfect place to do that.
After all, it’s much easier to get into a lighthearted mood when you’re wearing a fun swimsuit and splashing around in the water.
Next time you feel that you and your spouse need a break from the burdens of life, just hop in the hot tub. You could even play some hot tub games while you’re at it — hilarity is sure to ensue.
When it comes down to it, nothing is more important to your family than a healthy, happy relationship with your spouse. With a hot tub, you can strengthen that relationship every day.
