Living “The Good Life,” like traveling more with your partner will result in an even better one.  According to a new survey, traveling more with your significant other will result in more intimacy and romance.

Researchers found that couples traveling together experienced an improved sex life.

“Couples who travel together are significantly more likely to report that their relationship is more romantic, more intimate and more balanced,” Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, said in news release.

For the survey, 1,100 adults were interviewed. Some 72 per cent of the couples said travel inspires romance, and 63 per cent said a weekend getaway is more romantic than receiving large or small gifts.

So perhaps instead of buying your partner roses, chocolates or diamonds; boarding passes and vacation itineraries may be the better investment.
