Revel in the time you have together without the hindrances of life back home and make an observation from time to time about how you both fare. Unless you have been through it before, there is no way to prepare yourself for the experience of countless consecutive hours in her presence. There is no escape for you now, or for her. Here you both are in an exotic location, surrounded by a postcard landscape, in a state of contentment. It is almost perfect. Except for the fact that you are in a disagreement about where to eat dinner that night, what to date that afternoon or how much film to buy for the camera. Perhaps a sunburn has made her irritable and the woman wants to go back to the room, when all you want to do is swim in the ocean. Maybe you were caught staring at a beautiful woman in a bikini and you have to engage in damage control in order to have a pleasant evening. The point is that all of the above and more can and will occur the more time you spend together. Because the option of escape is absent from a vacation together, the pressure is on to compromise with one another. Therefore, a vacation as a couple is a veritable test in conflict resolution. If you have never had a fight during your time dating, I guarantee that your first disagreement will occur during a vacation. It all boils down to hours accumulated together. The more time you spend together as a couple, the higher the chance that you will run into a problem or argument. Because the rate of increase is exponential, that fourteen-hour mountain trek in the searing heat could spell disaster. One of you just may end up taking the quick route down. The adjustment could be rather harsh as well for a couple accustomed to the occasional date and overnight stay at a hotel. In comparison, a vacation together could feel like an eternity. To soften the blow and help make the transition less strenuous, I suggest you take the following tips into consideration, Go somewhere where neither of you has visited before if it is your first vacation together.
