While you are packing your bags for your honeymoon, everyone starts to pour in words of wisdom for you and give their expert comments to do this, to do that, be nice, be considerate, blah blah blah.
But the one main mantra of having a nice rocking time on your honeymoon is not to listen to any of those agony aunts and just listen to your guts. Be yourself, and enjoy the first opportunity of sharing some intense wonderful moments with your partner.
Hey, but being yourself doesn’t mean that while your husband is planning to take you out on a romantic walk you are busy curling your hair or when your wife wants to get a little naughty , you are glued to the LCD, enjoying a Man U game.
Agreed, that you don’t have to cling onto each other but honeymoon is a time you have planned to be together, while games and beauty baths are things of regular activities and a honeymoon is not a trip you plan on a regular basis, it is something special. So give time to each other and avoid the mean, nasty and stupid things that can act as serious turn offs for your partner.
Take a clue and please avoid these clumsy inconsiderate things on your romantic tour:
Phone Bug: You are on a honeymoon and discussing each and every thing, from where have you been, to what you ate, from what you wore to what you communicated, to all your friends and your mommy dearest! Sorry that’s a big no no. Some things are supposed to be personal, so maintain yours and your partner’s privacy and keep that third party off on your honeymoon.
Makeup at Leisure: So now you have married this person and no matter how horrible you look without make up this is what your partner has got from his destiny. But jokes apart, no body is perfect and neither you need to look like Marilyn Monroe or Brad Pitt. What and who you are, just be comfortable in that and charm your partner with your natural self rather than a painted version.
Low on Sanitation: You are not attending a slumber party at your male friend’s place guys! So not shaving, not showering and not changing clothes, definitely doesn’t give any invitation to your sweetheart to get cozy with you. Girls like cleanliness and nobody is asking you to peel your skin and shine like a pearl. Take regular wash and try to be a clean handsome hygienic man for your lady.
Control Freak : Some women just cannot let men have the lead. Its all right if you are a feminist and want to prove that men and women are equals, but there are a few things where , if things go conventionally, it seems more apt. So while on a trek don’t try to lead him or while making plans don’t overshadow his ideas. You are not an MD here, so just enjoy the flow of the events and let the man face all the troubles, just for once.
A Sport Lover : It is really expected from men, to be updated with all the shows and games playing currently. But for once, on your honeymoon, forget about these dates and go out on a date with your wife. Do not spend your time and energy in front of the hotel TV, cheering or cursing at your favorite team while your wife is sitting bored, alone and utterly disappointed.
The Drunkard : Alright, it’s nice to enjoy a few drinks with your wife to feel all mushy and romantic, but just to the right degrees. It’s not a cocktail bachelor party, so do not get drunk, or else the rest of the time you will only be busy snoring, while the precious moments of your honeymoon will pass by.
The Mommy Act : Yes, undoubtedly, men love their mothers, but that doesn’t mean that you have to act like one. Do not harangue him every now and then for the messed up bed, the wet towel on the bed, dirty socks on the pillows or things like that. Be patient, and give him time to settle down, if you will give him thoughtfulness , you will get it back too, and ultimately he will get those stinking socks off your pillows. Rather than cribbing about such things, be a sport and laugh them off.
Wrong Conversation : Honeymoon is indeed a time, when you will be sharing a lot of thoughts and personal things with each other. But some people get stuck in their past, and don’t seem to move on. Never talk about your exes while talking about your past or do not reminisce about them with every single thing that your partner do, for instance, “ Oh my ex boyfriend used to wear the same cologne”. Dah! that’s a blunder ma’am. So no digging into the past, and only enjoy the fruits of present.
The Lethargic Soul : You have come for a honeymoon trip, so it is customary to see a few places around , to get indulge in some outdoor activities, woo your lady with flowers and gifts, or surprise your man by taking him to a bar or club. Do not trouble and disappoint your partner by complaining how tired you are or how jet lagged, that the hotel is so bad or you want to sleep some more. You can sleep after returning back to home, as much as you like, but here enjoy the place and trip and let your partner enjoy it too.
The Argumentative You : So you are talking nice and cute things , and discussing each other’s likes and dislikes. Good. But do not point out anything during the conversation. If this is what they like, then fine , you shouldn’t impose your likes on your partner, after all they have an individuality too. So if your wife like Taylor Swift, please don’t tell her that she is bad or if your husband likes video games, then don’t tell him that’s childish. It is a part of their personality and you need to accept them with that. So do not bring arguments in your conversations and discuss things on a romantic note.
These are a few suggestions, that you must keep in mind while going on a honeymoon, and do not set your partner off doing these. If you want to have a memorable trip, in all the good senses, then avoid these few blunders and establish a charming bond with your partner.
