What You Want To Do(01 of22)
Open Image ModalWhile some prefer the peace and serenity of lazing on a beach, others prefer shopping in a big city, or touring European history. Everyone has different things they look for in a trip, but when you go away, it's important to negotiate so that both of you enjoy the time away. “You need to agree on what you will do in advance because the [trip] will bring out your preferences,” Moffit said. “You may not be compatible on vacation [even] if you [are] every day.” (credit:Shutterstock)

Open Image ModalFighting is inevitable. Although couples disagree on a day-to-day basis, conflict can be harder to deal with on vacation. The relaxed vacay mentality can sometimes result in couples bottling their feelings, but it's just as important to communicate your feelings when you're away as when you're at home."The most important thing is to realize that even if these roadblocks are coming up, it doesn't mean it’s a bad relationship or you're incompatible. These things come up [everywhere] in life," Moffit said. "It's important that when you see the roadblock come up, to create a plan of action for your vacation." (credit:Shutterstock)
Money (04 of22)
Open Image ModalA trip is a large financial investment on its own, which can set the tone for a vacation. The pricey nature of vacationing may cause people to want to save while away, while others may want to take the time to splurge. No matter what, couples need to discuss money before going away and organize who's paying for what, according to Moffit. A lot of young couples may not have shared finances, which means an agreement needs to be made. "It can create all kinds of issues if you don’t talk about it in advance," the expert says. "If you're lucky you'll agree on everything, but chances are going to be a couple of things [you'll] need to work on." (credit:Shutterstock)
Sleeping(05 of22)
Open Image ModalEven if you live together, you may not know their vacation sleeping habits. Sometimes even couples who have been together for a long time can't seem to solve the problem of snoring or hogging the blankets. "It's about problem solving as you go," Moffit advised. If your partner has a different sleeping schedule from you, there's nothing wrong with reaching a negotiation. There's no reason why one of you can't go watch TV in another area, then come to bed when the time comes, Moffit rationalized. "It's not offensive or personal .. it's about knowing yourself."

The Literal Travel(06 of22)
Open Image ModalSome people read and some sleep. A long ride, whether it be on a plane, train or car, brings out something different in everyone. Moffit advises that the best strategy when travelling is to gauge how your partner feels."If you notice they're fidgety, then talk to them about it," she says. "Understand if they are reading and you want to talk to them, it's not that they don’t want to talk to you. It could just be that’s the way they travel." (credit:Shutterstock)
You Time (07 of22)
Open Image ModalSeeing only one person's face for a week or two can make anyone testy. Just because you go away with your significant other doesn't mean you need to be constantly interacting. It's important that, as much as couples get time to spend together, both parties have time for themselves. Moffit says that while time apart may seem unromantic, it's sometimes necessary for couples to feel satisfied with their vacation. "Having that time and space is really important, just as it would be in our everyday life," she stresses. "You should be at the point [that] you're comfortable with silence." (credit:Shutterstock)
