Going on a couples trip can be exciting, but it can also feel like a lot of pressure. To ensure a smooth, rewarding and drama-free trip that satisfies both partners' needs, it's important to minimize stress as much as possible and to accept that disagreements may happen. Life Kit consulted experienced couples therapists — one of whom is also a travel adviser for couples — and a financial coach to learn how to organize a trip that leaves both partners feeling connected, refreshed, and eager to plan the next adventure. Here’s what they said: 🏖️ Decide why you are going on the trip and how you want to feel while you are there. Communicating this will help eliminate mismatched expectations and plans. 🏖️ If you want to avoid arguing with your partner about finances while on vacation, try to pay for as much of the trip in advance as possible. 🏖️ As your trip comes to an end, take a moment to reflect on the experiences you and your partner shared. To keep the good vibes alive, discuss the highlights of your trip and brainstorm ways to incorporate those elements into your everyday life. For additional guidance on how to have a successful couples trip, listen to this episode of NPR's Life Kit.
