First Vacation as a Couple, Tips and Recommendations to Remember

The first vacation for the couple: a wonderful, romantic, and fun experience… or a terrible experience, which you would rather not have had! For some people, going on holiday with their partner, just in two, can be a factor of worry and stress: "what do we do alone for so long?", "If we get bored?", "If he/she does not like the same things? " and many other dilemmas, including choice of location, hotel, activities, budget…

If you are going to go on your first vacation as a couple, however, it is not the planning of your point-by-point stay that matters: it is to remember that you are leaving to feel good and to relax. Indeed, it happens that the partners of a couple have the most heated quarrels during the holidays: from any misunderstanding, the storm starts… This is also due to the stress given by the "obligation to have fun" and because you no longer spent so much time only in two…

What to think about before your first vacation as a couple:

The chosen location matters much less than the fact that you will be together and you will have free time to relax! When you do not agree on the location of the holiday for the first time, there is no need to start an argument: if your first preferences clash, look for a third one that suits both!

Everyone leaves him, and the couple wins! There are so many options that it is practically impossible not to get to a location that you both like; and if one is the man of the sea, the other of the mountain, you can divide it into two vacations: nothing more pleasant than to enjoy in the same vacation the smell of the sea and the strong mountain air.

One more thing: depending on your style, choose a location that will offer you a romantic, quieter vacation, or a fun, active one.

How is it better: in pairs or groups? The first vacation as a couple should theoretically be for two: to be just the two of you, to have intimacy, to have time to get to know each other better, to relax, to try new things.

But it's not even a rule: if you're a sociable person who likes hustle and bustle, who wants group activities, you can go with your friends - but only as long as you both get along well with those friends (it also happens that one partner should not support the other's friends).

Forget that obligation to have fun and try to relax. Why do quarrels often occur during the first vacation of the couple? Because you try too hard for everything to be perfect, you keep trying to do something ("We're on vacation, we can't be idle, we shouldn't have fun!"), Sometimes you forget to rest, and fatigue will irritate you. the only thing that matters is to feel good; so, if one day you feel like lazing around, do it!

Get into the holiday spirit! This is exactly what is said above: there is no such thing as a "must" in these few days! You feel like something - well, you don't - just as well. But here another couple's quarrel may arise: one wants to do something, the other does not…

An important idea: even if you are on vacation together, you do not have to constantly stick to each other! Dedicating a few hours to separate activities - each doing what he likes - can be a good thing! Don't get bored just because your partner lets you go for a few hours to do what he likes: he's on vacation, he has every right to have fun; so you better look for an activity you like to spend this time…

Plans vs. spontaneity. Some people plan their vacation every hour of the day to make sure they do everything they can! For the first couple of vacations, however, it may be better to plan only those main activities, leaving the rest to come naturally. Do not follow a schedule even during this period, let yourself breathe and follow your inspiration for the moment.

Budget - Another dilemma in a couple's first vacation is money. Will you keep the money together or separately? It is an important decision for the good of the holiday: think about how you would feel more comfortable: with your own money or in common?
