Why Boaters Have More Satisfying Marriages & Closer Relationships With Their Children

Published January 19th, 2016

In the 21st century, maintaining solid relationships with your loved ones can sometimes be somewhat of a challenge. Managing work schedules, kid’s activities, and other commitments can be a colossal effort! Its no wonder we often find ourselves in need of quality time with our families without any clue what to do to bring them all together. This is where boating comes in.

Boating offers families a unique opportunity to spend time with one another, almost effortlessly! When you and the rest of your family set sail out on your boat together, you find yourselves isolated from the rest of the world the moment you leave the shore. While boating, safety involves every person on board. You have to look out for each other. Family members working together on the boat fosters teamwork and builds trust between mom, dad, children and even friends.

In a boat's limited confines, togetherness can bloom. Here, each member of the family can learn and implement strategies for "getting along," which will ultimately contribute to the overall mental health of the family. Additionally, everyone has different needs; your children value your time, attention, and the responsibilities you give them on the boat should be different and based on who they are as individuals, highlighting their abilities and strengthening their areas of opportunity.

When your family boats together, working toward a common goal, it promotes a sense of pride and accomplishment. Investing your time and energy in the health and prosperity of your relationship with those who matter the most to you will not only benefit those relationships, but ultimately leads to a more fulfilled life. To top it all off, boating is just cool.
