Spending Time Alone (Together)
Spending time as a couple (no kids) is very important when you are married for a second time. In this episode, Darren and Paige go to Panama for a week.
Why we go on trips?
- Your life does not start alone, you are dropped off in the middle of a bunch of stuff!
- There is no beginning with just the two of you.
- Important to disconnect from everyone and everything.
- Second Marriages don’t have a real honeymoon time.
- Things we have learned about spending time together alone.
- Understanding what helps the other person relax (Paige read a book, Darren Program)
- Finding out what we enjoy together
- Finding out what annoys the other
Trip Highlights

- Riding horses on the beach.
- We stayed in Rio Hato Buenaventura. Marriott Plug.
- We went to Anton Valley, ate at an incredible restaurant in Casa de Lourdes.
- Darren got a speeding ticket. Not his first in a foreign country.
- Came up with the idea of doing a podcast
- We spend time (not too much) talking about our future long term and short term.
- Where we want to live?
