How has your summer been?  Any travel that you’ve had that you enjoyed?  I had the opportunity to travel alone with my husband this summer and it was long overdue.  I say all the time that you should make time for each other. In reality, it can be really hard to do.  We did it and it was magical.  Here are some reasons why you should make the time to travel together!

Traveling together can be a great way to strengthen your relationship

If you’re like me, I love a plan and I like to look forward to things.  Well, we planned out this trip a year in advance!  Taking the time to talk about where you want to go, how long you want to stay and what you want to experience can fill those days when you just want to watch a TV show.  Start brainstorming and start dreaming of where you want to travel together.

Sharing new experiences and creating memories can bring you closer as a couple

I can safely say that we will be talking about this trip for a long time.  We did so many cool things and had so many memories that I didn’t know that I wanted to do that I will be looking at our pictures when our life gets stressful or I just need a break.  To relieve the moment even afterward can help you feel closer to your partner after you return home.

When you travel together, you have the opportunity to navigate new environments and situations as a team, which can help build trust and communication skills

Can travel be stressful? Yep, it can, but in those times, you learn how to be a better couple because you are working on your listening skills, coping skills, and your ability to just laugh things off which is needed at times.  Stressful times are challenging and how you navigate them can definitely shed some light on how you work as a couple.  I recommended to everyone that they talk about it and work on establishing better communication if things don’t go as planned.  Always room for improvement right?

Taking a break from your daily routine and spending quality time together can help reignite the spark in your relationship.

Should you need to take a break, who better to do it with than your significant other. Enjoy each other, remember what you fell in love with, and create new memories to keep that spark alive!
