Every couple looks forward to their honeymoon, and every couple dreads the end of the “honeymoon period.” Try these three tips to help make that happy, fuzzy feeling last years after your wedding day.
1) Spend less on your first honeymoon so you can spend more on future “honeymoons.” Who ever said you are only allowed one honeymoon? Nobody. Taking time away from the daily grind to be with your honey is a way to stay connected all throughout your marriage. So after the huge costs of a wedding, avoid the lure of an expensive honeymoon and split your vacation budget in half. Save the remaining for an instant second honeymoon fund. Finding a inexpensive honeymoon that will still sweep you off your feet can be easier than you though.
2) Make your second honeymoon an experience to remember. After months of planning the wedding, many brides want their first honeymoon to sit and relax with the one they love. However, you may never have another experience quite like the celebration of your wedding day, unless you make some! CNN suggests Unforgettable Honeymoons and Absolute Travel, who are travel matchmakers to find the perfect honeymoon for each couple they meet. After questions to learn your interests, they provide personalize packages well beyond just booking a reservation.
3) Surround yourself with what made your honeymoon feel special. Think about what made you happy while on your honeymoon. What you love to enjoy, see, and experience is easy to bring into your every day life. Did you love the ocean waves and beach sunsets? Then move to the coast — or, for a less drastic change, buy a wave-sound machine and frame your favorite beach pictures. Never wanted to leave the hot tub? Then look into budgeting one for your home or get a couple-pass to the nearest spa. Want more private one-on-one time with your spouse? Easy. Schedule a time to unplug the phone, turn off the TV, and simply spend time together.
