[via Time] The oft-married Zsa Zsa Gabor once said that you never really know a man until you’ve divorced him. I disagree. A far more pleasant (and less litigious) way to figure out whether or not you and your beliked are compatible is to hit the road.
Together, I mean.
Whether it’s a five-star holiday in Kuala Lumpur or a backpacking trek through the Blue Ridge Mountains, traveling à deux is the quickest way to get to know somebody. There’s no room for pretense after she’s heard you screech over a sand snake, and politesse quickly falls to the wayside after one of you gets hit with Montezuma’s revenge on a romantic getaway. Traveling together can be a dealbreaker or a dealmaker.
Do you have a travel story that convinced you to marry your husband or wife?

I couldn’t agree more! Before we were married my husband and I went to Vegas 3 times (some of it for work), took a week cruise in the Caribbean and went to Spain (with my mother no less) for two weeks! This was all in a 9 month time frame, meeting each other to marriage. If we could handle that much vacation together in that short of a time, we were meant to be!
