But forging your way back to health doesn’t require an exotic trip, oversized budget or therapy. More and more experts point to a simple getaway — some of it in the Great Outdoors if possible — to restore some sanity and to reach a romantic balance.

And the therapeutic benefits of exploring nature over a weekend extend from the sun to the water. Studies show proximity to water can actually lift people’s moods.

So as spring splashes back into your ever-warming days, why not consider an adult spring break — a weekend away at a country cottage or bed and breakfast. Most are surrounded by spectacular settings that offer outdoor activities by day and a mix of dining and private time by night. Often, you don’t have to travel far to get lost. And you don’t need to bust the bank.

And when you make your escape, try to forget stress triggers like finances and kids. Keep the conversation focused on you. If you need some ideas on how to add some spice — from hand-written letters to loofahs — this top-10 checklist should get you started.
