Mountain Bay Trail

In my neck of the woods, we have the Mountain Bay Trail.  It's basically a trail that you can bike on, walk on, etc.  In the winter, it becomes snowmobile trails.  It's where an old railroad track used to lie and has been converted into something amazing.

This trail comes right past my house.  My husband and I have taken many a bike rides and walks on that trail.  For us, it's given me a chance to relate to my husband different stories that I've had on the trail.  (I grew up riding and walking on the trail with my family.)  In that way, it's allowed us not only to get to know each other better, but we've also been able to create our own memories on the trail.

This spring, we went on a ride and collected rocks along the trail.  We painted vegetables on them and used them to mark the rows in our garden.  (That's also another cool all-summer-long date we're doing.)  Use the trail as a calm date opportunity (or a different local trail).

Relationship reconnection:  Use this chance to explore together.  Have some meaningful conversation.  Throughout the conversation, try to ask only open-ended questions.  That will fuel the conversation and you probably will learn a lot from each other.  Also, make an effort to truly listen to the conversation for something new to learn about your spouse.

Happy dating!
