Many people, especially girls think honeymoon is very important, they think "we must go for honeymoon after we get married". Before and after I get married, many of my friends asked me this question. But actually I don't really think honeymoon is important, as we do go for traveling always, what is the difference between honeymoon and going for traveling? To me, I'll prefer to go traveling anytime I want, when I am free, not because of marriage. What do you think? Do you think must go for honeymoon, or it doesn't really matter?

Hi kaka..I do think a honeymoon is important. It's a chance for the couple to get away and begin their life together when they get back. I guess you could put it off or not do it but it seems to me it's kind of a tradition.

Honeymoon is not just about travelling. You can do it even without travelling actually. It is one special moment for newlywed to spend time with each other alone. It is the first step toward getting to know each other more. It is the day when the woman gives her all to the man and vice versa. This is the day to savor the sweetness of your love for each other so I believe honeymoon is important.

Thanks for your response. I always thought honeymoon is about traveling. Perhaps I've already known my husband for years before we get married, so we do not think it's important to us. We did enjoy ourselves after married.

Honeymoon is not compulsory but necessary.Yes it can be done without travelling .Honeymoon acctuly means just to spend some golden time together to start a new life with full of Unforgettable Memories and As a couple every day supposed to be honey.It is more then importent ,however u dnt hv to travel anywhere but atleast a week after the wedding before the routine husband and wife stuf start, you can have some time for yourself.It can be a Plesant experience but it depends on your partner too if he or she is realy wana to do the same as you feel or not it all about the feelings and feelings may very it depends. But it is Important to have some gud time with each other .otherwise life is too boring and worthless . There is no meaning of life if your partner ur love realy dnt wana to spend memorable time with you .There may be any reasone but its too bad .................

I dont think it is very important.The concept of honeymoon is to get some free time to spare with partner and understand each other.

Thanks for your response. Yeah, I do agree that it's time to understand each other better. So for those couples whom already know each other very well for years, perhaps honeymoon is not necessary anymore.

hi there. for me, honeymoon is important because after the wedding, its time to be intimate with one another. its the time to enjoy each others after the hectic wedding preparation. ideally honeymoon is done by newly wed to celebrate their marriage in intimacy, it should be done in seclusion. traveling with your spouse whenever you have time is good because its time to refresh and renew your relationship. with all the stress at home and work, it would be great to reward yourselves with a good vacation.

i dont think honeymoon is important as in you must do it, but i think it is good to do as you start a married life in a good way by enjoying a holiday two. I think going to some place you both always wanted to go is a good idea. And this is what i believe. NICE DAY EVERYONE!

It's all depends on the couples. After the marriage if they want they can move thats their wish. In this no body cant force.

i dont think honeymoon is that important but if you have enough financial background then you may go for that no problem.during the first few days we feel much romatic than ever so that you can share with your partner.this will be memorable days which you can keep in your life.the photos and videos you have taken in that days will give you a nostalgic feeling in your coming days.knowing each other is more important in out common life more than anything

If it matters to my wife then I would happily take her for a honeymoon. This is to show her that I love her.

I think that honeymoon is old fashion or for people who get arrianged marriage. Its for couples to get to know each other but these days people date each other before getting married and some people even practice living with each other before commiting to marriage. For me a honeymoon is not important. and as a couple can go traveling whenever it is possible for thm.

Thanks for your response. Yeah, I actually agree with what you said. Also, perhaps during the older days, the couples seldom go for traveling often, and thus after married, they have a good reason to go out just by two of them together. Nowadays, many of us already been together long time even before we got married.

not that it is good to know ur girl better because u feel lomnely and u can enjoy during the trip but wasting money is a problem in the trip i thin kavoid it and take her outing ever day thats is better i guess and i think it waste of time but once in a motnh a long trip is fine so it would make their mind fresh and even she feel tht my husband has a good mind and he is romantic

I am one that has always believed in a honeymoon. The honeymoon does not have to involve travel or any expense. It should just be a time for the couple to spend time alone after they have become married. It gives them time to celebrate the beginning of their life together.

Thanks for your response. Well, perhaps I've misunderstood the term 'honeymoon', I thought it's about going for a trip. Yeah, if it's for the couple to spend time alone, then I'd think it's necessary.

We never traveled until we got remarried and then it took my best friend to help us realize that dream! When we got married we were VERY young and so we didnt do the honeymoon thing so no I have to say there is more important things in a relationship and marriage. However since getting to go on one 24 years later, I can say it is awesome! Made more so as we have a family and lots of responsibility so it was a TOTAL VACATION for the most part. I didnt know that it could be that fun! So we are now having a small vacation for just us every year. A small trip to bring us back to us, so that we can have time for just each other. Some say that it is selfish but I have gotten past what others think. This is the one time in the year that we get to reconnect without responsibilities just enjoy us. The rest of the year revolves around family life for the most part. So, no it isnt the most important part but sure is the fun part!

Hi there, thanks for your response. Because I've been together with my husband for more than 10 years, so we know each other very well, perhaps this is why I don't think honeymoon is important to us.

Hello my friend kaka135 Ji, Well, i think, such occasion was created to leave newly wedded couple on their own for some time tiogether, so that they know each other. In my case, as you say, after our marriage, we left for almost 2500 Kms away from our homes to live toghether and enjoyed our life by understanding each other. I think it is a waste of time. But my view may be contradicting itself, as only known couple mostly travel for honemoon. I think, it is a waste of time and money.may Gd bless you and have a great time.

Hi there, thanks for your response. I always thought honeymoon is to travel to somewhere with your loved one after marriage. So, to me, it's the same as traveling with my husband anytime.
