Do you ever feel like life with your significant other has become stressful, and you’ve lost that romantic spark? You love each other deeply, but you both feel worn-out by the stresses of everyday life, and you’ve lost that romantic, happy mood.
Don’t worry — this is normal. Fortunately, there are ways to bring back the magic in your relationship. A couples massage is a tried-and-true favorite that many couples have benefited from.
What Is a Couples Massage?
A couples massage is a treatment in which you and your partner lie down for side-by-side massages from highly trained, licensed massage therapists. Your therapist will attend to your needs and skillfully work to relax your tired muscles, making you feel refreshed and restored.
If you’re looking for a couple’s massage in the Winston-Salem area, look no further than Qi Massage & Natural Healing Spa. We offer a couple’s massage that will make you and your significant other feel amazing in many different ways. Read on to find out how!
It Gets You Two Out Of the Daily Grind
Life can be pretty repetitive. Work, school, bills, chores, kids, rushing to this appointment, that meeting… does it feel like a hamster wheel sometimes? Maybe you feel like you’re always running around in an endless cycle, and it’s starting to wear on you. Chances are your partner feels the same way.
One of the great things about a couples massage is that it gives you and your partner a way to step off the hamster wheel, get out of the daily grind, and finally have a moment of peace. When you two are in a quiet room with your massage therapists carefully working to release the tension in your bodies, you won’t be worried about anything. Both of you will feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
Trust us — this is something your significant other will thank you for!
It Reduces Negative Emotions
If you’ve been experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression, these negative emotions can damage your relationship. When your mental health is not in a good place, it becomes harder to bond with the people you love, especially the person you’re in a romantic relationship with. Even if your own mental health is okay, it’s possible that your partner is going through their own mental health struggles.
It’s important that you and your partner take steps together to improve your emotional well-being. According to the American Massage Therapy Association, “A growing body of research is supporting the positive impact of massage therapy for relief of stress, anxiety, and depression.” Getting a massage as a couple is an excellent way to make mental health a priority for both of you, and this will have a surprisingly powerful increase of your bond with each other.
It Gives You a Positive Shared Experience
Imagine if you got a massage by yourself, your partner got a massage by themselves somewhere else, and then you two met up with each other afterward and described your experiences. What would that be like?
Now, imagine that the two of you together, in the same room, side by side, received massages. You would be able to see and hear each other. You would be in each other’s presence. You would be able to smile at each other.
Which would make you and your partner feel more connected? Of course, the shared experience. While getting a massage by yourself has a wide range of benefits, getting a massage with your partner is a wonderful way for you both to feel happier and closer.
It Helps You Feel Good Together
A massage relaxes your muscles and gives you an all-over pleasant feeling. And knowing that your partner is right there with you having the same pleasant experience will lift your mood, because you know that they are being cared for just as much as you are. A couple’s massage is like a form of communication between you and your significant other. It’s as if you two are saying to each other, “I care about you and want you to feel good, and I know you care about me and want me to feel good.”
One important thing to remember is that the feel-good effects of a massage last well beyond the duration of the massage itself. Both of you will continue to feel good physically and emotionally, which will lead to more romance and intimacy between you two. You’ll both be glad you did this!
It’s a Fresh, New Thing To Do
Maybe you and your significant other have never received a massage as a couple before. Or maybe you haven’t experienced a massage in a spa at all! If this is completely new to you, it’s okay. You might feel a little nervous about trying something new, but trying something new as a couple can be a lot of fun!
Even if getting a massage as a couple is different from the activities you normally do together, you should give it a try. It just might be the stress-relieving activity you and your special someone didn’t even know you needed.
