What factors should I consider when choosing a couples destination?
I think choosing a holiday destination as a couple is probably about the trickiest thing you can do because often you have competing interests, needs, and desires for what you want to do. Essentially, before you even begin talking about destinations, you should talk about what you want to get out of a vacation. What's your top priority? If your priority is to be culturally stimulated, that's great, but you need to agree on that as a couple. If your priority is to just flop on the beach, great, but your needs and desires have to be in sync. Even before you begin thinking about destination, you need to get those things ironed out. When you determine what those needs and desires are, you can begin to discuss destination, which can also be tricky. Often, there's a pull to visit family when you'd really rather be lying on a beach in Hawaii. You need to get those things ironed out because this should be a time to bond and not a time to fight. Unfortunately, it's usually the latter and not always the former for couples.
