Go on dates and have fun
If you spend a lot of time together at home or at work, you should not give up romantic deeds, surprises and dates, psychologists say.
You can order food from your favorite restaurant for a romantic dinner. Schedule a daily "laugh" session: send funny videos and memes to each other, or stick notes on the bathroom mirror. Try to fool around together: sing, dance, play games, build a bungalow out of sheets and fight with pillows. Go for a walk or lay out a large piece of paper on your table and draw the route of your dream trip together.
Feel free to discuss problems
Learn to constructively say unpleasant things about each other's behavior and habits, because there is no long-term relationship without conflict.
Try keeping a diary and writing down what makes your partner upset or angry. Psychologists note that in another person we are often annoyed by what we fear or do not accept in ourselves. Try to analyze on your own or with the help of a specialist what personal fears and why activate your partner's actions. For example, one person in a stressful situation begins to eat more, and the other is afraid to gain weight and therefore unconsciously angry at such behavior.
Follow a daily schedule
Try not to stray from the regime, even if you do not have to get up for work in the morning.
Sticking to a schedule is especially important for couples with children, as during the holidays or quarantine measures, they have to combine work and activities with toddlers and schoolchildren.
Find time for yourself
You don’t have to do everything together all the time – this creates a feeling of blurry boundaries and adds anxiety and irritation. Include time in your schedule when everyone can be alone with themselves, do what they like, chat with their friends or be quiet.
Praise and support each other
Accusations and ridicule do not help solve the problem even in normal times, and in a crisis situation, the likelihood of conflict becomes higher.
Instead of criticizing, try praising each other and complimenting each other at least 5-10 times a day. Give thanks for simple, familiar things: a cooked breakfast, washed dishes, a movie chosen for the evening. Feel free to tell your childcare partner that he is a good parent, especially if you haven't done so before.
