Should we include Madeira in our 14 day honeymoon to Portugal?

My Fiancée and I are currently planning our Honeymoon for 2 weeks in Portugal. There is so much to do and to see. Planning the itinerary is starting to become confusing. Our biggest question:

Should we take 3-4 days to fly to Madeira in those 14 days? Or should we focus on the mainland?

From what we have seen in our research, we would absolutely love the hikes, food and adventures that Madeira has to offer. However, we also do not want to neglect “must do’s” in the mainland.

Thank you all in advance for your answers/suggestions

If you do go to Madeira after you say there is so much to see and do in Portugal, then you will have to sacrifice some of that see and do. You will have FOMO on both ends.

We loved Madeira but did it as a separate trip from mainland. You can see a lot in 4 days on the island, though. So if you spend 4 nights on Madeira then the next 10 nights on the mainland, then I think you'd see quite a bit.
