Between household, professional, and parental responsibilities plus everything in between, finding time to reconnect as a couple can easily fall to the bottom of the priority list. Hey, it happens; rarely will you find a couple that is immune to getting caught up in the day-to-day hustle. That’s why it’s crucial to take a step back and make a conscious effort to break up the monotony — a great way to accomplish this is to travel together.

Couples need one-on-one time together; to reconnect, remember, and reminisce on what brought the two of you together in the first place. No matter the destination, whether it’s a weekend date-cation in the city, a cottage country getaway, or to somewhere far from home, here are some tips to keep in mind when planning your romantic rendezvous for two:

Disconnect to Reconnect: Put the phones away or at least limit phone usuage as much as possible. Take a break from scrolling social media feeds to make time for new experiences to share together.

Opt to Unwind: Choose a destination that makes couples wellness a priority, where you can both relax and unwind in each other’s company with minimal distractions.

Magical Moments: Side adventures and unexpected fun surprises go a long way in making your travel experience one to remember. Live in the moment and drink in the present moments being made. When you make room for the unexpected, you’re also making memories that will last a lifetime.

Life is more than what we see on a daily basis. Travel allows you to bond with your partner, giving you that necessary downtime to rekindle the spark in your relationship. More than just getting back to what you have in common, travel opens you both up to new experiences and interests that will help strengthen your relationship for years to come.

A recent survey by OnePoll reveals that 79% people agreed that travelling with someone special is a great way to strengthen bonds
