52% Of Couples Happiest While On Holiday

More than half of couples in the UK have admitted they are happiest when they are on holiday with their other half.

The survey, commissioned by sunshine.co.uk, found 52% of couples feel happiest when on holiday with their partner.

The poll involved 1,936 people and looked at the impact holidays can have on a relationship. Of those who took part, 964 had recently been in a relationship that had lasted between one and two years. The remainder had been in a relationship of five years or more – and were still in it.

Participants who had been in a 1-2 year relationship, were asked if they had been on holiday regularly – at least once a year – with their partner before they separated. 78% said no, but when those in longer relationships were asked the same question, 72% said yes.

The research therefore suggests that, if going on holiday together regularly, there is a better chance that the relationship will last longer.

On the other hand, the survey found that time apart from the other half is equally as important for a relationship. In fact, 61% said that 'time apart/space' was important. Interestingly, 27% of respondents said they would spend every moment of every day with their partner if they could.

Meanwhile, 82% said they felt holidays together were 'very' important or a relationship.

Sue Anderson, from sunshine.co.uk, commented: "Holidays seem to be the secret to happy, healthy relationships. Our poll suggests that regular trips away together can lead to a longer relationship, but obviously there's other work that has to go into a partnership too.

"If you can spare the time and some of your savings to go on a trip somewhere with your significant other, it's definitely money well spent according to these results. We'd be interested to know people's thoughts on holidaying without your spouse when you're in a relationship. Does absence make the heart grow fonder in that case, or is that a recipe for disaster?"
