It's inspiring in a way. It also goes to say that even after a while in a marriage it's never too late to reignite a spark when the feelings are still present.

I think it was a wise decision to cull out time from their hectic schedules for a romantic getaway after ten years of marriage. All couples should make it a point of note to keep their romance alive, healthy and blooming all through the years. They don't even need to wait that long.

Rather than past goals taking a honeymoon later in marriage seems to me like fulfilling a long lost dream or a way to rekindle the live and romance in a long standing stationary marriage.

Honestly, I would agree!
My husband and I also went on a late honeymoon, but it was 8 months not 10 years after our wedding. But we did it because it was something we wanted to do together. We have other goals and places we want to see and still strive to see them. Hopefully we will be able to get there!

I agree. It's important to not let a marriage go stale. Doing new things as well as those dreamed about early on in the marriage can be refreshing.

Yes, marriage is teamwork, and both of them should have made more of an effort to accomplish their marriage goals. Although I understand having a child and a career is both demanding, but their personal life goals should not be sidelined for their jobs. It’s good that they both took some time off and went on their honeymoon. Giving time to their personal life and putting in the effort to keep it spicy is necessary to reinforce their love towards each other.

Most married couples don't understand that even after having children, their marriage shouldn't become cold, the spark and fun should still be there. I love how they still went for their honeymoon after ten years.

The love and spark in relationships should never grow cold. as it is always important to do new things to keep the love fire burning. no matter how long it may take, doing what you have always wanted to do as couples are important. honeymoon after ten years? that is inspiring.

Indeed! With the divorce rates increasing, couples should always put efforts in spending quality time together to keep the spark alive.

The book focuses a lot on how to maintain a happy marriage life. The kid meeting up with his old friends was the most exciting part of the book for me.

It's truly a great lesson for couples and even those that are yet to get married as this will inspire them to achieve their aim.

You are right. We should allow children and work kill our spark or bring distance.

True, I think that as long as a couple are willing to stick to and time to accomplish their goals together then they're on the right track.

Totally acknowledge the fact that married couples should accomplish their past goals. Honeymoon trips play a significant role in sustaining the thrill in their relationship during their monotonous and hectic days. Relationships require an equal amount of effort from both the sides.

There shouldn’t be a set time that a couple goes on a honeymoon! Why on earth would you have to Fit the “norm”? Yes,10 years is a long time but why not be different? I do agree that it is exciting immediately after becoming a couple but why follow in everyone else’s footsteps?
