Vacation for couples: stress or strengthening love? The secret conflicts!
Vacation for couples: stress or strengthening love? The secret conflicts!
Deutschland - A vacation can be an exciting but also challenging time for couples. According to a recent study by elite partners, in which 3,970 people took part, travel can have both positive and negative effects on the relationship. While over 50 percent of the respondents are convinced that a vacation strengthens the relationship, 27 percent of women and 20 percent of men report stress caused by the organization and planning of vacation. These conflicts are often reinforced by different expectations and needs during the time together.
A fundamental aspect of the study shows that 60 percent of couples have good conversations during their vacation. In addition, every third couple reports that they understand each other better on vacation than in everyday life. It is particularly striking that older couples (60-69 years) experience fewer conflicts and have more similar ideas about vacation design than younger couples (18-29 years). Over 80 percent of the older couples agree with their holiday destinations, while this is only 60 percent for younger ones.
challenges and stress factors on vacation
Furthermore, the results of the study show that intimacy and closeness also represent critical topics on vacation. Over 20 percent of men are disappointed with lack of intimacy and sex, which also confirm 22 percent of partners and 11 percent of partners. With regard to disruptive factors, 15 percent report that they are bothered by partners who spend too much time on their cell phones. In addition, 10 percent of the surveyed commented on excessive alcohol consumption or food, and 11 percent are bothered by a wasteful handling of money.
Within the couple relationship, the needs for freedom and retreat are also important. 16 percent of women and 20 percent of men miss that there is enough time for themselves on vacation. The psychological expert Lisa Fischbach recommends having open discussions about expectations and individual needs before the vacation, to avoid disappointments and to find a healthy balance between time together and personal retreat.
The importance of traveling together
It is surprising that despite the challenges and stress factors mentioned, 8 out of 10 couples in Germany travel together at least once a year. 45 percent of the respondents state to travel several times a year, while 36 percent do this once a year. It also shows that younger couples under the age of 30 tends to travel once a year (49 percent), while older couples aged 60 and over once a year (19 percent). In summary, it can be said that vacations can play a crucial role in strengthening their relationship for couples. 64 percent of the couples have meaningful discussions about their future and partnership during their vacation, and 62 percent report on special trips that they rave about again and again. It is therefore important to recognize the challenges that a vacation together brings together and actively work on strengthening the relationship.| Details | |
