Taking kid-free trips as a couple isn’t selfish—it’s intentional. In this episode, we talk about why couples need time away without kids, how kid-free travel strengthens your marriage, and why prioritizing your relationship actually benefits your children. I share our family’s experience taking annual couples trips, how we make it work with support from grandparents and caregivers, and practical tips to plan guilt-free, kid-free getaways. If you’ve ever felt hesitant about traveling without your kids, this episode will give you the encouragement and permission you need.
