Listen to this article

Many couples feel travel is important for keeping the spark alive but only a large percent have never even been on a romantic getaway. And if you’re looking for a good reason for a couple’s vacation, studies have said that couples who travel together have better sex lives than those who choose not to go away.

Experiencing new things with your other half can really deepen a relationship. Find eight reasons below why couples who travel together stay together and have stronger relationships.

1. Experiences will bring you closer together

When you travel, you will encounter strange, funny and fascinating moments with one another. When you have all these different experiences, it will form a special bond that only you and your other half will know and understand. This will deepen your relationship in ways that you couldn’t if you were going through the normal motions of your daily routine.

2. You have to look after one another

When you’re traveling long distances together, things can go wrong. One of you might get jet lag, a stomach virus or lose a wallet. These things are bound to happen during a trip away but they are also situations that give you the opportunity to show how much you care for the other person. You will also see whether having them around makes things easier or more stressful for you.

3. You will have each other’s back

When you are traveling with someone you love, you won’t ever get the feeling of isolation. Even when you are in the middle of a group of strangers, you will have each other to have fun, talk, laugh and share thoughts about your adventure. Wherever you are, you will have each other to make you feel loved.

4. You will naturally bond more and develop a feeling of mutual trust

It is natural for human beings to bond when they are put in situations where they have to trust one another and traveling does this all the time. If you are in another country far away from where you live then you need to place a lot of trust in another person. You need to know that they will look after you, help you navigate, take care of you and help you negotiate when required. The more situations where you have to trust one another, the stronger your bond and relationship grows.

5. You will learn to respect your partner’s strengths

Just as stressful situations during travel will bring out their bad points, it will also make you recognize and appreciate their good points. They might be calm during moments of confusion or have amazing communication skills. Travel will help you appreciate everything wonderful about the person you are with.

6. You will return home with a sense of comfort and accomplishment

After getting home, you will reflect on your time together and realize you can do challenging things together and survive, if not thrive. This will give you a feeling that you and your partner are great together. This will become a point of reference for anything you do together with the mindset that if you could do that, then you can do anything together.

Travel will give you something to reminisce about and help you build powerful memories together. Some people travel alone to find themselves and traveling together will help you find each other.

7. You will enjoy the present moment together

Travelling will help both of you be more present with one another. Travel allows you to simply enjoy the beauty of a new place and experience new cultures.

You will learn to appreciate the good things, exciting new places and the value of each other’s company. As you both enjoy new experiences you will appreciate the worth of each other’s time. Every moment moving forward will be a blessing to you because you’ve shared it with your partner.

8. You will become best friends

Travelling with your partner will force you to interact and communicate in a new way and in a way you’ve never interacted before. Your adventure together will help to form a new and powerful bond between both of you. You will share vulnerabilities and grow closer together, forming a lasting friendship.

Start planning your next romantic getaway

Grab your partner and go! You will experience highs and lows and as a result, learn and grow more together. You will both return closer than ever before with new memories to reminisce on.
