Want to extend that blissed-out feeling? Use these ways to make the honeymoon last.
1. Request Late Checkout
Before you arrive at your honeymoon hotel, speak to a reservationist and ask for late checkout. (Remind the person that it's your honeymoon.) That extra hour or two or more can provide more time for you to stay in bed... and you won't feel as rushed when packing to go home.

2. Photograph Your Honeymoon Suite[post_ads_2]
If you've splurged and gotten a nice room in a great destination, photograph the bed, the balcony, the bathroom (and do it before you unpack and mess the place up!). Share it on Facebook or keep it private. But having those images to revisit after your honeymoon can lift your spirits any time you view them.

3. Photograph Yourselves
Take a ton of selfies. Most couples look their very best at their wedding and on the honeymoon that follows, so smile for the camera. Take shots in the locale and also make private shots that you only want to share with one another.

4. Send Postcards Home
Every day, write and send a postcard home to your address. Use the card to jot down details of where you went, where you ate lunch and dinner, what you did and how you felt. In small Roman numerals at the bottom of each postcard, write down how many times you made love the day before. Collect the cards when you return from your honeymoon and put them in a pretty box for safekeeping. Revisit often.

5. Create a Honeymoon Slideshow
Invite your friends and family over for an evening to watch the (PG-rated) images from your trip. Provide drinks, snacks and an entertaining narrative.

6. Make Time for Making Love
Accept the fact that until you travel again and are free from all your daily distractions it's unlikely that you will have as many free hours to make love uninterrupted. But don't let that stop you! Physical intimacy that mutually satisfies is a critical way to secure the bonds of a new marriage.

7. Enhance Your Lovemaking Repertoire[post_ads_2]
Now that you have a lifetime of loving ahead of you, consider becoming more adventurous. For inspiration buy some books and watch some videos that introduce you to new ways of achieving bliss. Try different sex positions. And if your collection of sex toys and accessories is paltry, consider adding to what's in your night table.

8. Have Your Wedding Vows Framed
Did you write your own vows or opt for a traditional service? Either way, keep those meaningful words top of mind by making a copy, either on your computer with a pretty font or beautifully calligraphed. Select a matte and frame to protect them. Then post those vows in a place of honor where you see them every day (even the bathroom, if that appeals to your sense of humor!).

9. Return on Your Anniversary
Did you love with the place where you honeymooned? Some resorts, like the spectacular Jade Mountain in St. Lucia, offer honeymooners a package that includes a voucher good toward an anniversary visit (and it never expires). Whether you want to go back to the same place or explore another destination on your anniversary, treat yourselves to a trip to celebrate this important date every year.
