Love is alive: how travel strengthens relationships

Recently updated on August 1st, 2023 at 01:03 pm

Couples who travel together, feel alive together. Keeping the love alive through travel is possible – as the famous travel quote goes “to live is to travel” (Hans Christian Anderson) and travel experiences with your partner rank among life’s brilliant best! From better communication, quality time and working as a team to discovering new things about each other and sharing unforgettable experiences – read on to discover several ways travel strengthens relationships.

You’ll spend quality time together

How difficult is it to find interrupted quality time in modern life? Work and family commitments and life’s many tasks often get in the way when it comes to keeping the love alive. In contrast, travel sets the shackles free and says yes to freedom. With consistent time together your connection is given the time it deserves and can rekindle. Now you’ve shed your usual repetitive to-do lists, the romance can rear its beautiful head.

You’ll work together as a team

However, time spent in unfamiliar destinations can also present challenges. Delayed flights, missed buses, or even differing travel interests make up the highs and lows of travel. But they also push you to work as a team, make joint decisions and compromises, rely on each other, communicate better than ever – and come out the other side feeling awesome. Take a breath and reflect on the day as you taste gelato at a colourful pavement café in Florence.

You’ll discover new things about each other

You don’t just discover new things about yourself through travel, you find out a lot about your partner too. Whether it’s the fresh discovery of beautiful Greek architecture, smooth Italian limoncello or Japan’s cherry blossoms – travel can keep your love alive – and your relationship too. Perhaps you’ll keep up these interests together back home. After all, there’s no harm in making Peruvian pisco sours after the kids go to bed, or going to see an art exhibition.

As well as enriching and rejuvenating travel experiences, you’ll have memories to cherish for years to come. Dinner party tales to delight your friends with. New passions to peruse and develop. Oh, and adventures to plan – because the travel bug is a real thing (if you don’t have it already). Truffle hunting in the Tuscan or Croatia hills or washing the dishes at home? You decide.
