In the super-busy world of dating, engagements, and work, vacations often get forgotten by young people. They are absorbed with getting ahead in their jobs, having fun after work, dating their boyfriends or girlfriends, and just don't have time. It is said that Americans have fewer and shorter breaks from work than any other group in the world.
However, we need vacations, from time to time. It is very important, before you are committed to one person "till death do us part," to discover how he or she likes to spend their free time (or even if they take any free time). If you are a person who feels the need to relax about from your common setting, you would be supremely frustrated by marriage to a person who thinks that vacations are a waste of time and good cash. It is not impossible to live with such a person, to be sure, if you understand that you may be taking your vacations with family or friends, and not with your spouse.
Another item you need to know before marriage is how and where your intended one likes to spend vacations. Are you a person who likes to get the most out of every new place, likes to get up early and tour the historical places and fun places, loves to shop? Would you be happy if you were married to a person who would just like to sit on a porch, drink and/or smoke, and look out at the sea the whole time? Would you want to be ACTIVE or PASSIVE? Neither way is right or wrong, it's just what you would prefer.
Must you go to the sea or to the mountains or to a gambling place or large city? Or, are you flexible and like to explore new places? Do you feel you must always visit family on vacations? Or do you feel visiting family is the waste of a good location? Decide what you, yourself like, then ask you intended mate what he or she prefers.
Marriage is always filled with a few surprises. The less you have to negotiate, the more gentle will be your relationship! Pray to the Lord for a wise choice in life commitments!
