Corona-virus has interfered with our lives in all the ways possible. Workplaces have shut down, businesses have been closed, and social events have been cancelled. Life is going to be very different for some time now. And in times likes these, love and romance suffer a lot. Romantic dates are no longer available. Long-term couples are getting crazy with the reduced fun and social life, as they have to see the same face everyday. And those who were searching for the significant other, have to wait for some more time. Here is how to keep love life intact during quarantine.
Love Yourself First
Quarantine limits the romantic routines, but it can be an enjoyable change of perspective and pace. Take a break from dating apps. You can rethink about what you really need from a romantic relationship. Any plans to be physically intimate with new people are out of question because of the virus. Kissing a new person can be deadly at this point of time. You can love yourself instead. This is the best time for some self discovery and self love!
Online Dinner Dates
This might sound weird but it can turn up to be really intimate. You can dress up as usual and sit down at your table with your plate and a laptop in front. Ask your partner to do the same. It is just like the usual date, but without the physical closeness. Try it and let us know!
Love and Mental Health
This is a tough phase that we are going through. Don’t feel guilty about feeling lonely or anxious without your partner. You may also unconsciously generate a sense of abandonment and depression. The best way to cope with this is to have fluid conversations. Try to understand your partner’s stress and emotional outbursts. And you need to communicate openly too. This will take a little more effort, but its worth it.
Take Some ‘Me’ Time
For partners who are living together, you may get bored with the monotony. It is important to have some time alone, away from everything else. Talk with your partner and sort out different time slots when you can work, craft or spend time with your thoughts. That will help you to balance your relationship. Grow in love but also grow on personal level.
Don’t Let The Spark Dull
It is important to keep in check that this quarantine is building your relationship and not breaking it. Spend time playing fun games and look at old pictures. You can play strip poker to add some fun in the bedroom. You can teach each other different skills. If you don’t know how to cook, learn it from your partner or you can teach her some skill that you have. Build each other up and discover new sides of your relationship.
To Keep Love Life Intact During Quarantine might be the last thing on your mind right now, or it might be giving you extra stress. But it is crucial for the mental health that we don’t let the relationship and love life go down the drain because of the pandemic. To beat this virus and this tough time, we need to stick together and hold each other up. Isolation impacts people in unimaginable ways. It can make you feel anxious, left out and depressed, but remember you’re not alone. Whether you’re single, newly dating, or in a long-term relationship, there are ways to make the most of this time.
