How Can a Fiji Honeymoon Cure Your Post-Wedding Blues?

A number of couples discover that after the big celebration of their wedding day there is an unexpected sadness, longing, and despair. Many simply describe feeling deflated and empty, but for some people, these post-wedding blues morph into a serious depression. Over the years, behavioral scientists have noted this psychological and emotional swing in a surprising number of newlyweds.

Could it be that a Fiji honeymoon at a private resort in the island nation is the secret to curing this post-wedding depression?

Getting to the Source of Post-Wedding Depression

It isn’t uncommon for couples to interpret these negative emotions as hesitation or regret about the marriage, but information on post-wedding depression tells us that this is unlikely the case.

The days and weeks after a wedding most newlyweds are simply recovering from the constant planning, arranging, scheduling and stress that accompanied their wedding day. Most people spend the months before a wedding constantly on edge, and the release of this strain has to be replaced with something else – unfortunately what takes the place of this stress can be just as pessimistic.

A Fiji honeymoon provides a buffer between your wedding and real life. This is an opportunity to truly decompress without the pressure of instituting new “married” routines and juggling your emotions while on the job. Plus, at a private resort, you are given the opportunity to start married life in total seclusion and solitude. You can even allow yourself, and new spouse, the space to feel somewhat sad – although we warn you it is difficult to feel anything but joyful when you overlook the ocean from Raiwasa’s infinity pool.

Gain Some Perspective by Going Somewhere New

It can be difficult to sustain excitement and momentum for your married life after the “big day.” The wedding industry, and our friends and family build up your wedding as the biggest day of your life and the best day ever. These descriptions can truly make your wedding day one of the best events and experiences of your life, but it isn’t any more exciting or special than building your life with another person.

However, sometimes to recognize the adventure of building a life, we need to get away from it. Fiji is unlike anywhere in the world, and a Fiji holiday can introduce you to experiences and adventures you never knew existed. There are endless opportunities to discover new passions and interests or foster a shared interest as newlyweds. These will be some of the first memories you make in married life, and many couples unexpectedly find that a Fiji honeymoon is just as special as the wedding day.

As well, a trip to the islands can impact your perspective at any point in life, but it is particularly special when you are just starting out with a new spouse. Here, you will learn that a variety of experiences await you and your spouse down the road, and the best of your life still lies ahead of you in the myriad of adventures to come.

Take the Time to Talk It Out

Your days on Fiji honeymoon are guaranteed to include a great deal of relaxation and romance. At Raiwasa, our staff goes above and beyond to provide romantic settings for every meal, including lunch in our poolside bure or breakfast in bed, and we provide extensive opportunities for you to explore and relax together.

However, amongst the couples massage and sunset swims are opportunities to truly be alone as newlyweds.

While the pressures of daily life and work routines are far away, and entirely forgettable amongst Fiji’s natural beauty, you can find uninterrupted time to talk with your partner. Here there are no interruptions or phone calls, no schedules to maintain or appointments to keep. And many couples discover that in simply sharing their emotions on post-wedding blues can help them dissipate. Take the opportunity to put the post-wedding emotions into the past and plan exciting experiences for the future – maybe even your return trip to Taveuni?
