Hey Family Brand! It’s Melissa here, and today, I’m sharing something that I am SO excited about—our brand-new Escape with Intention: A Couple’s Getaway Guide! Chris and I have felt the power of a well-planned getaway so many times, and we truly believe every couple deserves time away to reconnect, dream, and have fun together. But here’s the thing—there’s a BIG difference between just taking a trip and planning an intentional escape that strengthens your relationship. That’s where this guide comes in!
In this episode, we talk about why getting away—whether for a weekend, a full vacation, or even just a few intentional hours—can be life-changing for your marriage. Chris and I share personal stories about our own getaways, from our honeymoon to last-minute anniversary trips, and even small moments that made a big impact. The key? Being intentional with your time together. When you approach your escape with purpose, it becomes more than just a break from daily life—it becomes a chance to grow, reconnect, and dream together.
We also give you a sneak peek into what’s inside the Escape with Intention guide. It’s a fully designed 30-page resource packed with conversation prompts, planning tips, and ideas to help you make the most of your time away. Plus, we’re doing something special—we’re hosting a live masterclass, where we’ll walk you through the guide, answer your questions, and help you brainstorm how to make your own getaway happen this year!
Whether you’ve been putting off a couples’ trip because of busy schedules, finances, or just not knowing where to start, this episode will help you rethink what’s possible. A getaway doesn’t have to be extravagant—it can be as simple as a planned afternoon together, a night away, or a full retreat if that’s an option for you. The most important thing is carving out time to escape… with intention.
