In reply to Iman. Iman, I know what you mean about that love-hate relationship :) Even with all the challenges we find traveling together so much more fulfilling and fun.

Haha great piece of writing. Its a love hate relationship. I have so many fights with my husband while travelling but at the same time travelling without him is not the same. I plan to write a similar blog about travelling as a couple and my experience on my blog.

In reply to Roslyn Scott. Thanks for sharing, Roslyn. Interesting to hear this, as Audrey and I just returned from a trip where I did a meditation retreat in Malaysia and Audrey retreated to a beach in Cambodia. Then, we joined back up towards the end of the trip, allowing us to share an experience together and to relate our separate experiences from our retreats. That's a long way of saying that your tip definitely has recent resonance for us.

My husband and I have been together for a long time. We do a lot of travel at home and overseas, and the one thing that I appreciate is to be able to follow our individual interests. Meaning giving each other to go it alone for a while. Not too long, just enough to do a retreat or visit somewhere interesting. The reunion is always worth it.

In reply to Jessica C. Yes, date nights or planning special occasions are really important!

Love this! Seems like you two really have it down. I would only add to do something super couple-y every once in a while. Maybe it’s a dress-up date night or a romantic dinner. But this are such great tips that I hope to implement as well.

In reply to Andy.

Keeping up with your style of humor and continuing to joke about your relationship is a good thing — helps to lighten the mood when things are stressful or not going well. And, providing mental space is really important — especially, if one (or both) of you is an introvert and needs to recharge by being alone or having quiet time. Have a great time during your travels next year!

Thanks for sharing some great tips, me and the wife plan on doing much more travel this year and next. We are more financially secure and want to explore more of the world.

I am defiantly going to keep this list handy especially the one about mental space, that might come in very handy.

I tend to joke around a lot in our relationship so will make sure I keep that up to – I usually find that is a great stress reliever

In reply to Frank. Thanks for coming over from the BBC article! I agree that even if you've been together for a while before you travel, you will still learn much about your partner when on the road and it will challenge the relationship. But, it is worth it :)

Hi! Came across your blog from that great BBC article.

We’ve been travelling full-time for almost 2 years now and totally get it. It’s not always easy and let’s face it, being together all the time in confined spaces doesn’t bring out the romance. But I think it is the ultimate test to a relationship; I don’t care if you’ve been together 10 years prior to travelling, travelling full-time will test every aspect of your relationship. And, if you survive, make it that much stronger. I couldn’t imagine travelling without my Spanky 🙂
