If you want to test your relationship, nothing does it quite like traveling together. Taking a trip with the one you love can reveal a lot about them, like how they handle stress, unfamiliar situations, and living together, even temporarily. Everyone has their own idea of the perfect vacation, but for those in a relationship, it all depends on how long you’ve been together.

These are the ideal couples’ trips for every stage of your relationship, according to PureWow.

After a few months of dating

For your first getaway together, a local Airbnb is a great destination. Limit it to 48 hours and go somewhere stress-free, but be sure to include some activities so you can see how they handle doing things they’re not thrilled about.

After you’ve made things official

Once you’re a legit couple, it’s time to tackle a new city together. Book a fun hotel for a long weekend and see how your boo navigates an unknown place with you.

For your one-year anniversary

After spending a year with this person, you’re ready for a week in a foreign country. International trips bring their own challenges - long-haul flights, language barriers and culture shock - but it’s a great way to celebrate your relationship milestone together. 

The honeymoon

Weddings can cost a small fortune, which makes an affordable getaway ideal for a honeymoon. Pick somewhere fun and relaxing and enjoy that adventure with your new spouse. 

After a year of parenthood

When you have a year of diapers and sleep-deprived nights under your belt, you and your partner deserve a little break in paradise. A no-agenda beach vacay will do the trick and if you can leave your precious little one with a trusted relative and go do nothing with your S.O., even better. 

With the kids in tow

Traveling with children can seem less like a vacation and more like a chore, but choosing the right spot can help. An activity-friendly beach trip will keep you as busy as you want to be with sand, sun, surf and lots of time for making memories.

For your 20th wedding anniversary

At this point in your relationship, you guys deserve something majestic. Plan a vacation to a bucket list destination and go all out, at least as much as your budget will allow.
