How to Connect with Your Partner through Nature Activities

Spending time in nature can be a powerful way to connect with your partner and strengthen your bond. The serene beauty of the outdoors can create a peaceful and intimate atmosphere for you both to enjoy. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway or simply looking for ways to reconnect with your partner, nature activities can provide the perfect opportunity to do so.

One of the simplest ways to connect with your partner through nature activities is by going for a hike together. Walking hand in hand along a scenic trail can create a sense of togetherness and offer a chance to engage in meaningful conversation. Take in the sights and sounds of nature around you as you explore new surroundings and enjoy each other's company. Another great way to bond with your partner in nature is by planning a picnic in a beautiful outdoor setting. Pack some delicious snacks and a cozy blanket and find a peaceful spot where you can relax and enjoy a meal together. Take the time to appreciate the natural beauty around you and soak in the tranquility of the outdoors as you savor your time together. Stepping out of your comfort zone as a couple can be a thrilling experience and can help you build trust and communication skills. Plus, the adrenaline rush from trying something new can create lasting memories that you'll cherish together.

We have what my partner refers to as to the Great Canadian Picnics. In the dead of winter with temperatures reaching well into the negative degrees, I have packed up the portable barbeque or filled a thermos with hot chili with some bread and cheese. We have bundled up and headed outside to watch the snow fall. We explore a different spot each time. We have had some laughs about just how insane it is to be eating your supper in minus 32 degrees when you have the heat on back at home. However, that is a memory that my partner tells all of his friends and family, how this crazy woman took him on a picnic in the middle of a Rocky Mountain winter. Infact, we have done several of those picnics and they never become boring.

The conversations we have created from these experiences have become some of the most memorable moments. Mother Nature is there to share with everyone, and she is the best couple's therapist I have had the privilege to know. Just step out into the world and see how you can JUST LEAVE IT AT THE DOOR.
