WHY COUPLES SHOULD TRVEL TOGETHER!
According to a survey of 1,000 married Americans, of those who rated their marital satisfaction as "excellent," 84 percent also travel together regularly. Upwards of 90 percent of couples who have taken three or more romantic trips since their honeymoon rate their relationship as "good" or "excellent." Out of the people who rated their marital satisfaction as "not so good," 78 percent do not travel regularly.
The number one reason couples travel is to spend quality time together. Showing a correlation between marital satisfaction and travel, Honeyfund says couples should make taking a honeymoon a priority, and should continue to plan romantic getaways throughout their marriage.
"Relationship research shows how important it is to continue to prioritize quality time with your partner," said Sara Margulis, CEO and co-founder of Honeyfund. "Our recent survey shows that honeymoon-style travel may be key to keeping a love relationship going. And with 91 percent of people claiming their partner is their favorite travel buddy, there's no reason not to plan that next trip."
The study goes on to find that only 55 percent of those with a high school degree went on a honeymoon versus 82 percent of those with a college degree. Only 58 percent of black couples surveyed went on a honeymoon, as compared to 75 percent of white couples. Roughly 27 percent of couples never went on a honeymoon, and of those that did, 90 percent paid for their honeymoon without assistance.
