Cupid’s Advice:

The first vacation in your new relationship could be considered an important leap to take. It can go either two ways — absolutely terrible or all you have ever dreamed of. In this case, you would rather have the second one. Cupid has some ways on how a worthwhile vacation can strengthen your new or existing relationship:

1. Making decisions: Before you are able to actually take the romantic trip, planning has to be done. If it is a joint effort, the two of you have to come to an agreement on the destination, dates, etc. Whether you realize it or not, you and your new partner are actually testing the waters. If you both can come to a common ground without much of a disagreement, then this could be a sign of what your relationship will be like when it comes to mutual decision making.
