I am not an expert on  Christian concepts of sexuality but  I have the
impression  the honeymoon   started  in Northern   European protestant
nations  which   took  seriously the    Pauline   notion that   sexual
intercourse was disgusting.  If sexual intercourse is disgusting, then
when people get married and theoretically the couple are virgins, they
will shortly  after the marriage  go out and commit a  disgusting act.
Better to do this  far away from home so  that no  one  close  to  the
couple need think  about the disgusting acts  which  the newlyweds are
committing.
