What are the benefits to your relationship when you go on vacation with your partner?
Cupid’s Advice:
Sometimes a relationship can go stale when you follow a routine and do the same things over and over again. Â Going on vacation is a way to spice up your relationship. Â Here are some specific benefits:
1. Relax: Real life can be stressful, so going away with your partner is a great opportunity to forget your worries and simply enjoy each other’s company.
2. Connect: On a day-to-day basis it can be difficult to remember to carve out quality time with your significant other. Â When you’re on vacation, it’s a good time to re-connect on a deeper level again.
3. Focus: There are so many distractions when you’re juggling your career, the gym, a social life and potentially children. Â Getting away as a couple allows you to focus on each other … and only each other.
