Every time my husband and I discuss vacation destinations, he only limits our options to places with tropical beaches. I don’t mind beaches but it just has always been like that for our vacations. But I want to explore snowy polar nights in northern Europe in the winter, fall foliage in Colorado, mountains and farmlands in New Zealand… but I have been having a very hard time convincing him 😔

Consider vacationing separately. Go solo or with some friends to a place your husband doesn't want to go, but you do.

Consider switching off vacation planning duties. You went to a beach like he wanted before? Now you get to pick as a matter of fairness, and what you pick may not be what he wants.

Lastly, try multi-part trips when you have time. For example, 3 days urban adventure followed by 3 days at the beach.

I'm a married guy too, so I appreciate the value of compromise and discussion over more unilateral approaches, but I also know that couples don't need to do every single thing together all the time, including travel.

This exactly. Married here as well and our travel styles are usually complimentary. But we've both taken solo trips with other friends when then other has no interest.

How about picking a mostly beach vacation but in a place elsewhere? Anywhere around the Mediterranean (Greece, Spain, Italy, France, and more) can be a great option getting what you both want.

I’m not in an LTR right now, but when I was it was the same for me, so I did a lot of solo travel. It was nice getting away tbh, and I would get excited to come home and see him… it was always like a reset and started that honeymoon feeling again.

I’m a beach person. And a skier. My partner doesn’t ski (though he thinks he can). My compromise is I’ll ski, you take lessons. (I don’t have the patience to teach him how to ski.) so what I’m planning is Park City for his birthday in December. He has these fantasies about Jackson, WY, but I don’t think snowplowing will cut it at a mountain that challenging! I guess there’s always Zermatt.
