Tips For Strengthening Your Relationship During Social Isolation

For many, this pandemic has taught us who we’d like to be spending our time with and relationships have been suffering from being together 24/7. But, there are also some people who’ve managed to strengthen their relationships and here’s what you need to do to become one of them.

Spend Time Apart

Finding your own space while you’re quarantined in a small apartment can be difficult, but you can always take a long shower, or allow your partner to FaceTime a friend in a room, or go to another room to read a book.

Date Nights

You may not be able to dine at your favorite restaurant, but with some creativity, you can have a special date night. Try making a picnic on the living room floor or create a theme night for the next vacation you want to take. You can keep it more chill by completing puzzles or playing board games.

Work on a Project Together

Spend some time together being productive and completing a project like building an IKEA piece you’ve been putting off or cleaning out the garage.

Make Social Plans

Connect with other couples via Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype. You can plan game nights or happy hours with your friends.

Put Your Phone Away

Cancel out all the other distractions like phones and TV and show your partner you truly care about them by giving them your full attention.
