Why? To give yourselves space to breathe and adapt to living in each other's pockets. The other 351 days of the year, you have different and maybe completely separate routines; so when all of a sudden , you're together all the time it can soon start to stifle you.
How? Unattach yourselves at the hip! You both need space, so spend time apart reading, swimming, hitting the shops and doing whatever you fancy. This way, you don't have to drag him to aquaerobics or on shopping trips, so there are less sacrifices all round!
Don't give yourself so much space that you end up not sharing anything! The whoel point of of going away together is to spend time together, so don't go off on your own to do different activities more than twice a week. |
