The joy of traveling as a couple
than a few trips is unlike anything else. You're not alone, yet you are just a few friends. It is more than that. They travel together as a unit, and as such you get to share all their experiences (the highs and lows) with someone else. It comes to see places and sights for the first time and to know that you have done it together. It is about creating memories that you look back on for years to come knowing they shared.
Elise and I have been together five years a year busy, and we have a go a couple since the beginning of 2010. We decided to travel in the long term, because we do not work the world to our fingers to wanted to explore the bone. We saved hard for three years, quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and never looked back.
Was it the right decision? We think so. The decision was to travel together is one of the easiest decisions we've ever made. We were told that would be traveling as a couple either "make or break" our relationship, and quite honestly, I can see how that can be the case. They are with the other person 24/7, and you really know they learn at a deeper level. There is no hiding who you really are. It can be hard for some people, but while times have tried, it made us stronger.
The biggest thing that makes traveling couples compromise work. Although Elise and I have similar interests, there are many times we give to one another and take. Not only that compromises allow your partner to experience something that they really want to do, it will open your own eyes to another side of the trip, you might not have seen on your own. That's what couples are going. It's about doing things with and for your partner.
It is inevitable, however, that you fight at a given time or another, are required. The times that Elise and I have had disagreements usually on matters not need addressing. We have discovered that the underlying factor for most of our arguments is that one of us only some "me" takes time. There is nothing wrong with the desire to have some time on your own. Your own thing for a while do really helps you appreciate the other person, and it also helps you to see things from their perspective. Just spend a few hours on your own can sometimes even make the difference if you do not fight with your partner. The best solution for an argument is, honest to each other and listen to what your partner has to say, to speak. You have time to come to a resolution and there is no need, something to blow out of proportion. to stifle the issue in the bud before things get out of hand is always the best way to try and solve problems. Communication is the key to a successful relationship.
On the other hand, the support that comes from couples travel is very rewarding. If you are sick or tired, then your partner is to draw because of the rut for you, cheer, and you get back on your feet. Your partner will, if you need someone to talk to, and if you want your deepest fears and concerns to share. You learn in a new light to see and learn more about each other than you ever would at home back. You're the little piece of home with each other, which is so good to have around.
traveling together increases the quality of the time you get to spend with your loved one. Because you are with someone 24/7, there is always the possibility to have a laugh, talk and play together. They really are together able to appreciate the little moments. Waiting for a bus for 12 hours to feel like 5 minutes to finish.
Anyway you look at it, traveling as a couple is a unique experience. It binds you and brings you together; it is something special, you both share that will really last a lifetime.
