Business trips become a marriage sabbatical.
Bond Marybeth Bond is a travel writer who has turned her business trips into private indulgences. She believes that these sabbaticals have recharged her 15-year marriage and relationships with her two children. Getting Lost in the Hustle and Bustle Like every mother, Marybeth becomes so consumed with details about the household that she never has time to reflect on herself. A marriage sabbatical for her can mean a simple getaway trip by herself, or another day added on to a business trip where she can do things she cannot do at home, like reading a paper, sleeping late without an alarm clock and taking a bubble bath. Preparing Your Family for the Sabbatical Marybeth talks to her family each time she wants to go on a sabbatical by presenting her idea and asking her children and husband about their schedules.
