Honeymoon Romance
Maximize the Romance on
your Honeymoon
Tropical islands, sandy
beaches, exotic wildlife, breathtaking views overlooking sandy
beaches and crystal blue water and hotel accommodations that would
impress even the most seasoned traveler set a good foundation for
the honeymoon of your dreams.
You’re finally on your honeymoon and it’s time to capitalize on this
beautiful setting you have chosen by taking time to open up at
levels you may have never experienced before. A honeymoon needs to
be more than just a vacation with your spouse. It’s the vacation
that celebrates the lifelong decision you have made and the start of
the life you will build together.
Honeymoons are all about the
romance.
But, before you get to
be idealistic, you must be pragmatic and plan, plan, plan. The
following are some tips to ensure romance on your honeymoon and upon
your return.
-
Communicate and plan
beforehand. Discuss what it is you both want out of your
honeymoon. Remember, what you might want and what your spouse
might want, may not be the same so you’ll have to find somewhere
to meet in the middle. Do your best to know and understand what
your partner is looking to get out of the honeymoon. Is the
honeymoon about pure relaxation? Is about adventure and
excitement? What is the budget? What should you be packing? Is
everything going to be taken care of at home in your absence? If
you have all of these items covered, there will be less stress and
more romance on the honeymoon.
-
Have one day and night
each where you plan the entire day centered on what you think your
partner will enjoy. This requires selflessness and a genuine
concern for your partner’s happiness. Here’s an example. The
thought of exploring underwater life in the crystal clear ocean is
scarier for you than it is exhilarating. But you know that an
awesome SCUBA adventure would give your partner a life-long
honeymoon highlight. Your spouse will appreciate the opportunity
to teach and guide you along in something new. Now that you’ve
demonstrated a willingness to try new things, maybe you can
finally your spouse to do something out of their comfort zone.
-
Celebrate your
marriage by announcing to people that you’re on your honeymoon. If
you like the attention, people are always going to gush over the
newlyweds and share their personal stories of marriage success.
You may encounter older couples who will give you the guidance and
wisdom to make a marriage successful after so many years. Maybe
you’ll meet younger couples who will share in your new marriage
bliss. Or, perhaps you’ll meet the single folk who yearn for the
love you and your partner share. Either way, people’s eyes will
surely bright up when they hear you’re on your honeymoon and
positive energy is bound to enhance the mood and atmosphere of
your social time.
-
Use the element of
surprise. One groom we know on the first night of their honeymoon,
surprised his wife with his personal rendition of their wedding
song at the resort restaurant in front of the entire room. With
the help of the house cover band, a good spirited, sing along
audience and a couple pina coloda’s, he impress his spouse and the
entire resort. The honeymoon is the time to think outside the box.
Do something’s that may a little uncharacteristic. A honeymoon is
the time to let loose and is about fun, romance and relaxation.
You may be surprised what you’ll get in return.
Relax and enjoy!
