STUDY: COUPLES WHO TRAVEL TOGETHER

Topics

Former Member

OK Folks!

According to a study done by the US Travel association, couples who travel together have better relationships and better sex than those who do not.

TIDBITS FROM THE STUDY:

* Travelling together boost romance.

* Travelling together allows couples to adventure together and re-connect.

* Travelling together allows couples to get away from their routines---chores---busy schedules.

* Travelling together often breaks up the monotony that seeps into a relationship.

* Travelling together eliminates boredom and re-kindles romance.

The study also mentioned that travelling together doesn't have to be extended overseas trips and vacations---it can be a little weekend getaway---and regardless of where you live---within a 5 hour radius there are endless getaways couples can enjoy.

In this thread, the folks here can list some of the exciting getaway trips they have taken.

10 of us are heading off to the Caribbean to celebrate my mom's birthday next week. Talk about fun in the sun and pampering.

Rev - the Guyana pics are wonderful!

Tell your Mom the Rev wishes her a happy birthday.

By the way alena, hope your significant other is part of that lucky 10 heading off to the sunny Caribbean to celebrate Mom's special day---remember what the study said:

"Couples who travel together are happier together."

The social club is where gni posters are nice, cordial and respectful to each other---if you prefer to be crass, vulgar and boorish please head to the political forum.

Check this Nehru: WHITE HOUSE CONFIRMS SEPARATE VACATIONS FOR BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMA

READ MORE:

"The White House confirms today that President Barack Obama will be vacationing in Florida this weekend. His wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, will be in Colorado. The two daughters will be with Michelle. "

QUESTION:

What does the study say again about couples who dont travel or vacation together ?

Rev

That's a picture of very beautiful young couple in love. I guess the president should try to help the first lady to do more around the Whitehouse. It will pay dividends, I can attest to that.

Are they now drifting apart ? Or is it the pressure of the job that is affecting the performance of the president ? Spending vacations away from each other is not good.

Ask Nehru bhai, he is an expert at spending holidays away from his first lady.

Yuji:

Take a look at that photo of Barack and Michelle again.

* Michelle is clearly the more romantic of the two---note how she has both hands tightly grasped around her husband.

* Barack, on the other hand, he has one hand on his hips--and his thoughts seem to be on something other than his wife---maybe his great political future.

* It is clear from that photo that Michele's interest level is higher than Barack's.

* Anyway, I dont believe the Pres would cheat on Michelle---she looks like the kind of Momma who would cut his balls off if he cheats---and he looks like the kind of husband who is deathly afraid of his wife.lol

BOTTOM LINE:

Couples who vacation separately or dont travel together have lost the spark in their relationships----they need to re-connect----to rekindle the fire.

Michelle and Barack ought to vacation here:

I am sure you folks will have a splendid time! There is nothing more joyful than a loving family having big a get-together--love it!

When you get back you can tell us all about the resort you folks went to---and give your personal rating---dont reveal anything now---can't trust anyone on the internet---next thing some weirdo will track you down.

Rev: First of all congrats on being married nearly 30 years! I have read some of your comments and you have written kindly and lovingly of your husband and children. You are blessed chameli. And you are right! There is an exception to every rule. But there are couples who grow apart from each other over the years--the husbands become boring while the wives, particularly after menopuse, become adventurous. Those marriages can last a lifetime once both parties are loyal and faithful to each other and their families are loving--it's when a 3rd party enters a marriage--that's when disaster(separation) is the likely end result.

chameli: spending some vacations away from each other has been the opposite for us...since the only thing we love in common is cricket and not every vac is about that

Rev: There is an old saying, "absence makes the heart grow fonder," so its very likely that couples who genuinely care for each other--anytime spent apart from each other--they find themselves missing each other.

chemali...i love shopping, going to beaches, looooooong drives etc...as do my girls/ my son is very much like his dad...sports and concerts

Rev: Regarding shopping, you know what they say, "shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist.lol----but seriously it looks like after nearly 30 years the phrase "adventuring together" doesn't exist between you and your significant other---next time you go shopping say to your husband, "how about we go for an adventure together ?" If that doesn't excite him---he is likely boring. Once last question chameli---what does your husband like to do for fun ?

chameli:

What you just wrote is very sweet and very endearing. You and your husband are clearly winners in the marriage adventure.

Anyway man who can make his women laugh will always be a winner in her heart--laughter brings warmth and sunshine into any home and into any couple's lives.

The Rev hopes poster Stormborn is reading this---that dude is very petulant and quarrelsome.

RE: CRICKET

Introduce your husband to Chairman Bhai Krishna's cricket site---the Rev, a huge cricket fan, also posts there:

chameli:

Many years ago the "first lady" and I went to Carnegie Hall in New York city to listen to John Gray--he is the author of the best seller "Men are from Mars; Women are from Venus."

In essence what Gray said and what he wrote in his book was men and women are fundamentally different people but once we can learn to accept and respect our differences and once we trust each other and are loyal to each other, then our relationships will survive and blossom.

You said your nearly 30 year marriage has had it's ups and down---well, to borrow an old cliche:

"You can't have a relationship without any fights but you can make your relationship worth the fight."

It looks like your relationship with your husband has been worth the fight---keep on trucking---keep smiling and laughing.

Congratulations on your 29 (almost 30 ) years of marriage, Chami. I can see that the "E" is still missing

Thanks Mira. There are advantages and disadvantages to having one's anniversary on their birthday. The disadvantage is that I usually get only one gift. The advantage is that I can't forget our anniversary.

Ah, you probably got only one tangible gift, but the gift of friendship in marriage is priceless!

As she demonstrated so well during my recent illness. I told her that whether she wants it or not, she now owns it since she was mostly responsible for getting me to the hospital on time.
