We all know that getting a massage helps your body release hormones, which will ease tension and lower your stress levels. When our guests finish a couples massage, we witness mindful conversations that aren’t fueled by any previous anxiety.
1. Try Something New
Getting a couple’s massage allows you and your partner to beat the repetition and mix things up a little.` Sharing new experiences like this is what being a couple is all about. It’s important to keep it fresh and push the envelope, trying out new activities that stimulate your time together.
2. Enjoy Some Much Needed Quality Time
Do either of you ever complain of having too much quality time together? Not likely. Massages allow you to relax and put your life on hold for an hour or so to spend time relaxing with your partner. The best part about getting a massage is that it gives you the same relaxation benefits as a vacation for a short amount of time. You won’t even have to take a day off of work or stay somewhere overnight.
3. Re-Connection
If you jump straight into dinner, you’ll be so preoccupied with these things that you won’t be able to have a proper conversation. During your massage, you’ll be able to put all of that behind you and focus on the here and now. It is the perfect pre-dinner activity for a date night.
Where on your priority list do you place
your relationship with your partner?
4. More Feelings of Affection
The hormones that are released during a massage do more than encourage stress-free communication. Touch stimulates your social hormones as well as dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. These hormones work together to lift your spirits and keep you happy long after the massage is done. During this time, you’ll experience increased amounts of affection for your partner. You may even find a new appreciation for them.
5. It Encourages Intimacy
Staying on the hormones topic, the ones that are released from getting a massage not only will increase the affection you feel for your partner on an emotional level but on a physical one as well. You’ll enjoy more intimacy together after the massage than you probably have in months. If you have the same experience that many couples do, you may end up having to take you after massage dinner to-go.
Where is your relationship on your priority list?
The answer better is the same one you would tell your partner. Why not spice things up a little and experience something new, melt a bit of stress out of your relationship, and enjoy some quiet relaxation time together?
Trust us when we say, you’ll still be talking about it for weeks to come.
