“Take A Beach Vacation”
|
Author: Belina Storrey
As a marriage and family counselor, I give out a wide variety
of counsel to families and an even wider variety of suggestions
for ways to reprioritize their family life above other things.
I
was recently meeting with a family that is in the middle of a
huge family crisis. Many things are going wrong and they are
far from being whole and healed, but one of my first
suggestions to them surprised them almost as much as it
surprised me. I suggested that they plan a beach vacation as
soon as possible and that they get away as an entire family.
Quite honestly, I had never suggested to clients that they get
away on a beach vacation before. In fact, it had never entered
my mind until that day just how important it is that families
have time together away from the normal routines of life. I
have had the privilege of vacationing with my husband and
children yearly for as long as I can remember, yet for some
reason I had never thought to suggest this remedy to others. I
guess I was perhaps assuming that all families took time for
beach vacations.
The reason I suggested that this particular family get away on
a beach vacation was that one of their most serious issues
hinged on the fact that the father of the family, loving as he
was, was a workaholic. He spent nearly eighty hours working
each week and hence his wife and children felt very neglected
by him. He was under the impression that they were thankful for
his provision, which they were, but even more than provision his
loved ones wanted his attention and affection. So I suggested
that he take two weeks off from work and that the entire family
of six go on a beach vacation.
A beach vacation is great because it gets you away from the
routines of life. There is no need to talk on cell phones,
check emails, or be running here and there every evening to
attend meetings or events. A beach vacation is the perfect
getaway for couples and families that need to relax and be
undistracted in time together.
They can spend days on end
simply enjoying the beach, the water, and lazy time together.
There is perhaps nothing as therapeutic for a family than
extended time together. This family took my advice and
scheduled a beach vacation to Mexico just weeks after our
appointment. They returned from their two week beach vacation
and were full of laughter and a sense of reconnection. They
told me that they planned to take a two week beach vacation
each year because of how great it had been for them.
