The Honeymoon

New bride’s guide to starting your marriage off right: a dream honeymoon vacation

Your honeymoon is an important beginning to your marriage. Your time together immediately after the wedding is an opportunity to focus on each other, your special celebration, and your deep love and devotion to each other. Some cultures recognize the importance of time together and support the bride and groom in such a way as to allow them to have an entire year to focus on each other and establish a solid foundation for their new lives together. This may include a month-long honeymoon of travel or service together, and then no work the rest of the year so the two may enjoy each other and their new togetherness.

While this will most likely be impossible and impractical for you, your honeymoon can embody the spirit of this tradition by starting out as a romantic adventure for the two of you. Even if you are on a tight budget or have little time, make the most of it. Let us help you figure out how!

Also, when the honeymoon is over, the romance does not have to stop! Make a point of growing closer together and spending quality time together often, especially as you begin this journey. Our For Newlyweds section will help you with practical tips for launching your marriage with a strong foundation to build a happy, healthy home together.
