Timing Your Honeymoon

Congratulations! You're married. The big day has come and gone and hopefully you and your new husband have your honeymoon planned and set within the next several weeks. Aside from the passion, romance, and intimate connection, there are additional reasons to honeymoon sooner rather than later.
You've just planned a major event, which took a great deal of time and energy. It can be emotional, overwhelming, and stressful to prepare for a wedding. Now you and your husband need some time to wash away any lingering stress and enjoy each other. It's time to relax and go somewhere you both can feel comfortable and no pressure from your surroundings. That means being somewhere you can leave work, family, financial, and other commitments behind so you can focus on your relationship and building your physical and emotional bond with each other. Taking time to renew, grow together, and be in a positive state of mind is a good way to start your new life together.
Another reason you want to have your honeymoon soon after your wedding day is that you never know what life brings. Hold off on planning a honeymoon, and all sorts of things could get in the way. New job, new house, baby on the way. Any number of life events could delay your honeymoon. And the more you push it off the more likely it may not happen. So ideally you want to plan your honeymoon while you're planning your wedding. This way you have something to look forward to and know you will follow through.
Finally, going away on a vacation can make the transition to living together as husband and wife easier. While you're away, you don't have to concern yourselves with household responsibilities and other new routines. Instead of jumping into husband and wife roles, you can simply have fun with each vacation day. Having a honeymoon reminds you that marriage is multifaceted and includes time together to just be and enjoy.
