Honeymoon Trends
Honeymoon is a period of intimately learning about each other and this period helps the couple to know the individual attitudes, strengths and weaknesses. This period of twosome togetherness makes it easier for the couple to get over their inhibitions and shy ness and develop a healthy intimacy. This period of honeymoon is more popular and helpful for conservative societies like the Indian societies where pre-marriage sex or live-in relationships and intimacy are still looked-down. Honeymoon helps to overcome the feeling of being strangers. The couple can come together as life mates and not as strangers. The intention is to orient them to each other and give them the much needed space and privacy to get romantically intimate.
Today's fast moving world leaves little time and space for newly weds to spare time for honeymoon, but the youngsters prefer to cut short the time for the marriage rites and take off more time for honeymoon. This is true, both with people who do not know each other prior to marriage and for people who know each other and have been dating each other for the past some time.
The rushing for honeymoon immediately after marriage proves one thing that the modern apartments and clustered room space in the apartments offer less or almost no space and privacy for the newly weds. So the time spent during honeymoon acts as an aid to give more significance to being together all by themselves. It is very easy to understand each other's temperament, preferences and likes and dislikes, and this understanding takes place at very close quarters.
People tend to be guarded during the period of dating and seeing each other, and it would not be very easy to understand the inherent attitudes and temperament that can only be assessed gradually after the marriage and when they start living together as husband and wife. Honeymoon acts as a stepping-stone to this living together with acceptance, adjustment, and understanding and for the building up of trust.
Apart from romance and sexual intimacy, honeymoon is a period for observation and mutual exchange of one another's views. Present day scenario has it that the youngsters having known each other for quite some time through chatting on the Net and through dating, prefer to go ahead with the marriage and when time permits go on a honeymoon to exclusively enjoy the romance and sexual intimacy. Being tied up with the individual professional work loads they find it difficult to take time off for marriage and again for honeymoon, so they get the marriage performed and later when time permits go on a honeymoon trip when they can enjoy the intimate togetherness without much interference and an urgency to get back to regular life.
After marriage the newly weds are bound together and this bond is attributed with a sanctity and a moral and social sanction. So the couple is free of any inhibitions to become sexually intimate. This thought that there is a moral and social sanction and that their relationship has a sanctity attached to it the couple become intimate out of their free will this helps in the process of making the relationship grow stronger and firm.
