The Need for Separate Vacations

One person in a relationship is eager to awaken before dawn and be the first person skiing through fresh powder, but their partner has plans to slide down the front of a tropical ocean wave. This is a case where each person wants something completely different, but many couples learn to sacrifice for each other when it comes to vacations. The difficulty with this is that one person will be bored on vacation, and this is true even if the couple alternates their venues.

Taking separate vacations does not necessarily lead to a couple breaking up, and some of them have done this for years. Each person is happy with their choice, and both come back refreshed by their break and the activities they enjoyed. Taking separate vacations can help a couple deepen their commitment to each other while exercising their freedom to be their own person.
