Both,time together is wonderful,time with friends to reconnect is great too. You don't have to do everything together,you don't have to miss out on things you enjoy or endure things you dislike because one or the others interests are different. My girlfriends and I love artistic pursuits and love catching up,my partner loves fishing and boating. I will go fishing,but the idea of being out at 4am on a boat isn't quite my idea of a great weekend. So we do things apart,send each other videos,messages. Come back together again share stories of what we have been up to and have a laugh. It's nice to have differing interests it's what makes you the person you are,and your significant other the person you fell in love with. So yes...

Do people sleep naked or pyjamas

I thk it depends. One might not wish to go on holiday as they might have kids and one might need to work. Some just go on holiday with other family or friends, whats wrong with that? My sister had a holiday with just her daugther once.. while hubby stayed home. Everyone is dif. Its stupid to say a couple are having issues just bcs they do not always hoilday together. Not everyone hoildays either. Mostly, its the whole family that go, kids included. Many people are too busy to holiday these days anyway, or rarely. Others should just mind their own business.

With work and other commitments like taking kids to sport (especially if you have kids that play more than once a week at different places at the same times) holidays are when they spend the most time together.

One thing I now miss is going on holiday with my late partner. We had similar interests and liked many of the same things si we had wonderful holidays together.

Why would couple be separate if they love each other? That's a recipie for cheating. Grow together.

Why get together at all if you want to be separated from each other even for work let alone a vacation? I am celibate by choice, a loner whose sole companion is a pet kitty cat.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and familiarity breeds contempt.

I say together. It is usually a time where you can be more relaxed. Why would you not want to be together?

I married my lovely wife because I wanted to be with her and not apart.!!!.

I think they should always go on vacation together. That is the whole point of marriage, to be together.

No

If the couple get along they should be togeher. If not then they should take their own vacations and make sure they keep their wedding vows.

If a couple feel they need time apart I would suggest they shouldn't be together. My husband had a relative who after his wedding went away with the groomsmen and the new wife went away with her girlfriends, and guess what? Surprise, surprise, the marriage didn't last 2 years. It's all a little odd I feel.

Ka sira sira what ever will be will be

Usually together

no, I don't see my man enough as it is...last thing I'd wanna do is holiday seperately :( I'd think ppl wud be rethinking their relationship if that's the case.... I mean u dont need to be joined at the hip...and ud be free to do other stuff through out the year seperately?? Surely ur holidays ud WANNA spend together? Edited 27-Jun-25 07:05am

its each couples decision,BUT why not spend time together.....its good for the love and romance

no one cares do what u want

Up to the couple. We prefer together.

We spend our vacations (holidays) together to enjoy each other’s company and keep our marriage strong .

It totally depends on how much you trust your partner and if it might end in you being suspicious off his motives. If people wanted to holiday separately maybe they shouldn't have gotten married in the first place.

It's statements like this that cause divorces, if you want individual holidays then don't get married

I think holidays together are great, however, if it is in relation to a hobby that your partner is not enthused about a short break is good.

Sometimes

if in a good relation, then spend holidays together

Together.

spending holiday together deepen the connection and intimacy as well as hepls to avoid the conflict over who goes where and when

I think long holidays together are important but so are short breaks to immerse yourself in your own personal interests. eg. crafting weekends for the handcraft enthusiast and fishing for the keen fly-fisher etc. Taking your partner who has no interest will only put a damper on both people.

together

Depends on the couple and what type of holiday they need

together otherwise too easy to stray

Whatever suits both. For some it is essential for others they need a break from each other.

Couples should holiday together but the attitude of day to day life should bend towards romanticism.

A buck's party for a week. Then a hens party for a week. I can see my wife going on holidays with her girl friends. Me going fishing with my mates. BUT I would not have a holiday without my wife.

Together, I don’t get why you would want to sped the separately!

No of course not. If you have to have holidays away from each other your marriage is in trouble. Time together away from work pressures etc should bring you closer. However, each to their own. I guess what works for one does not necessarily work for others.

depends on the couple and what they as an individual feels is right for them

Are they really a "couple" then or just a couple of people de-coupling for holidays.Edited 26-Jun-25 15:48pm

together

I would say as much as possible together, as they can still experience personal growth and get to know each other better.

I am all 4 Freedom, but what is the point of having a lover and being with someone, if you share memories alone? Stay single then

Whatever works for the people involved

It's not right if one is off spending time with his mistress while the other is stuck at home because of poor conditions and no confidence

Both

There are millions of people, perhaps billions of people. that will never be able to take any sort of vacation in their entire lives. If you're lucky enough that you have an opportunity for a vacation, take advantage of it. Whatever you think will be the right one is up to you. Just don't get caught doing something illegal.

Isn't that the point of having a relationship? Spending some of your free time together especially holidays, relaxing together, sharing travel experiences together, time to talk and unwind when you are not stressed? Perhaps one year go to a place one partner is interested in and the next year going to somewhere the other partner is interested in? Of course it might depend on what one grew up with or the example set by a person's parents or family. Having time with the children might seem less than relaxing but doing something that all family members are interested in is possible. Like a beach holiday, kids can play on the beach, parents can take turn swimming with them, reading a good book sitting in the sunshine or under the umbrella, bringing a picnic lunch, playing board games in the evening together, going out to dinner, cultural tours if overseas in Thailand or Bali, Singapore, Japan, Queensland, going to the local markets on the weekend etc. Visiting museums, art galleries, nature walks, botanic gardens or whatever. Of course some people find going away stressful and prefer to stay at home so they can sleep-in or do nothing. I think as couples age however people tend to either still be well bonded and still have things in common however if not I can understand why a person might to do their own thing and then come back to their partner refreshed. Having done something on their bucket list or pursued a personal interest that relates to their work or exploring a talent like painting. I suppose different couples have different needs and priorities.

I hate when I want to spend time with a friend and they think that means I also want to spend time with their partner, no I don’t. Couples need to spend time away from each other, as well as with each other, otherwise it’s just being co-dependent.

Couples who are married are probably going to be with each other for awhile so they can share a variety of different types of holidays over time. Some of those types might be separately with some of their own friends or they might be together as a couple in order to have a more relaxing time together rather than around work and domestic duties. It is something that can be flexible.

Isn't that why your a COUPLE, to be together as much as possible, cause life is/can be short. Spend every waking moment you can with that one person

My boss once told a coworker he has 8 week’s holiday. Asked how come. Reply was 4 weeks of my time and 4 weeks without you here when you are away.FUNNY

I feel that couples should have holidays together but should also take a holiday/weekend separately. My husband and I regularly do this and our relationship is stronger for it.

Isn't that up to the couple ?

My husband and I have spent all our holidays together since we met 55 years ago. We just celebrated our 50th Anniversary. There's noone I'd rather spend all my holidays with.

Depend, if the couple relationship are good then you can see them always together like a love bird. If the relationship is broken or an abusive one, but stil staying together because of cultural norm then definitely I don't see them going on a holiday together. Although I witnessed an abusive couple going on a holiday together but they are always far from each other. Not good!

We both have things we like to do together or with some friends

Together

Together

DEPENDS ON WHAT THE COUPLE AGREE ON.

Up to the couple

I'm by myself so....I have no choice but spend vacation with myself !! 😉

Together

My wife is off on a holiday now. I have to look after the pets. We never have holidays together any more. Maybe a very short one together rarely though. But will we go on holidays when I get a Neo robot to loo after the pets! still probably wouldn't trust it for very long so it would have to be a short one still.

I’d rather take a holiday with my darling because we can share the experience but a fishing trip away i much prefer to be alone

They should spend them separately because I feel like they already have a lot of time together on a daily basis, so its better for their mental states to have a small break from the person they already spend time with every second of every day.

Personally, I prefer to spend holidays with my husband but I do enjoy the times he goes to bowls tournaments and I get to have my own time at home.

A few variables to be considered. If it were myself and my now deceased wife, we would never think or feel that way. But if someone thought we should live our lives a certain way, I would tell them to get stuffed. Edited 26-Jun-25 11:20am

It depends on the lenght and type of holiday.

together at all times for better or worse

Sometimes it’s nice to have a holiday together and sometimes it’s nice to spend a holiday apart. If the relationship is strong it does not make any difference if you spend time apart. It’s all about balance, resentment can set in when both parties always compromise and never get to do stuff they love.

I enjoy holidays with my wife

Together...

I look forward to spending holidays with my hubby 😍

A mix of together and alone. Too much together is not good anymore than being left alone

No there is no point on being a couple and then going on separate holiday

No they should be together

Depends on the couple. Some spouses don’t like travelling so why should that stop the other?

I had no choice she would have a holiday and i had to stay home to look afer her 2 dogs and her hens

Couples can not should do holidays seperately . Sometimes its a group guys or girls holiday . Its okay to spend some time apart when it allows but doesnt have to be a force matter . If opportunity presents itself its okay.

The best holiday I ever took was without the spouse. I got home and applied for a divorce.

Each to their own.holidays separately or together are both beneficial to relationships

By "holidays" do you mean, Christmas, New Years, etc or do you mean when you take a vacation and relax or explore a different location for a while? Whatever works best for the couple and their family is what they should run with.

Sorry, but that sounds really silly.

Depends. If they go with trusted friends or family yes but by themself. No, I wouldn’t want that

that's not how couples work in my day anyways, not that we go on vacation anymore

Since my husband and I met later in my life, and don't know how many years we will have together, we spend all our holidays together mostly with my family but will go to his if invited.

Together it will always be like a honeymoon.

No one's business but thier own.

To each his own!!! I don't think much of the marriage.

Hum

Then what the point of a holiday

Together

Nice try, buddy. Make up your own excuses...

For the most part I think couples should enjoy holidays together, of course there are exceptions to that. My husband and I have some different interests and he has some physical limitations but for the most part we do things together.

DUH - together!!!

Together, through thick and thin, because you are a couple! Think about the reasons you first became a couple. Coupleness (?) will always be a work in progress. ☺️

together. may be the chance for some good relaxing time on our own.

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH WITH MY SPOUSE

Together but ive had to do it separately because my husband but at the time my boyfriends family (mother) doesn't like me and ive been in this family over 20 yrs
