Romantic Getaway or the Ultimate Test?

Looking at cabin/resort photos reminded me of this place my friends on the Island told me about for couples. It's a small getaway, run by a married couple, that consists of a lovely cabin with a nice lakeside view, a jacuzzi, some cards/boardgames and enough gourmet food and wine for two weeks. That's it. No t.v. or visitors or internet or phone. Also no escape. You are driven in and left there and if there is an emergency you page the couple and they come rescue you. They also keep you in supplies so you do not starve to death. Apparently this is the ultimate honeymoon place. Doesn't it make more sense to go before you get married and then, if you don't kill each other, you know it might stand a chance of working out? Of course the results are directly proportionate to the amount of liquor you are left with. What happens to you if the hosting couple get killed or disappear or end up in comas or mute with broken fingers and no way to tell anyone about your existance!? This is what I would be thinking the entire two weeks while Ken searched the area for wireless access to accommodate the palm pilot he smuggled in up his butt. Romantic.
