The coronavirus mercilessly killed the hope and happiness brimming amongst newlyweds and partners-to-be. Most new couples had been looking forward to an exciting vacation just when the virus hit us all. Consequently, not only canceling their months’ worth of effort of all the planning hustle bustle but also bringing with it a wave of depression and sadness. It set up an atmosphere where maintaining stability in both physical and emotional health became a struggle. And so, these times have been particularly demotivating for couples who were just starting with their new lives.
But well, marriage is the name of putting through the thick and thin together. It names the bond, which makes the world bearable. So, if it’s the COVID-19 and the pandemic that the world threw your way, it’s time to deal with it head-on together!
No Point Postponing
Instinctually, your natural response towards the pandemic would be to postpone your St. Lucia honeymoon trip (or whichever it is that you planned) to a later time of the year. Perhaps, when all this COVID-19 mess is over.
Well, it may have been an ideal approach if there was even a single thing definite about the existence and spread of coronavirus. Although research and surveys continue to prevail as people try to get as much data as possible to make the conditions stable, unfortunately, none of us can claim with surety about when it will all be over.
If you’re counting on the time when the rate of its spread starts to decrease, then we’d tell you it’s not the best approach either. And that’s because even if you succeed in getting hold of such a time and heading out to your trip, you will find yourself suddenly packing up if there’s another wave of COVID. So, it’s risky and a bad deal. Vacation mean to relax you, not to stress you.
So, there’s no point in postponing. Enjoy your time with your partner now. Both COVID and the headlines of tomorrows’ news are uncertain, so better make the most of today’s time!
