What is the 2-2-2 rule?
There is nothing complicated or revolutionary about the 2-2-2 rule. Each number represents a specific period of time that will help you get closer to your partner.
First two. Every two weeks, plan a romantic date with your loved one on neutral ground. It can be a joint trip out of town, a trip to a restaurant or a picnic in the park. An important condition: there should not be other people on your date (friends, parents or children). It is worth spending time only alone with each other, as it was before, when the relationship was just beginning. Such romantic meetings will help you feel connected with your partner again - to understand how this person lives, what worries him. In addition, most likely, you will be preparing for a date (selecting a special outfit, doing makeup and hair), which means that your lover will get a chance to see you in a new light and outside the usual home decor.

Second two. Every two months, plan a joint weekend - you can go to a holiday home or relax in nature with tents. Forget about household chores (they can wait a couple of days), work and smartphones. Focus only on relaxing with your partner. A change in the monotonous environment and new vivid impressions will enrich the luggage of your relationship. And maybe even inspired by interesting experiments. How long have you tried something new in bed?

Third double. Go on a joint vacation every two years. Again, the rule that you should be just the two of you applies here. You can go to a new country or go to a familiar hotel where you rested during the candy-bouquet period of the relationship, and with which you have many pleasant memories. It is also important that you choose a place of rest and a travel route together with your lover. This bonding factor will help make your future vacation enjoyable for both partners and strengthen your relationship.

While the 2-2-2 Rule is incredibly simple in theory, it is harder to follow in practice than it looks. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances arise that make adjustments to our plans. And it happens that we ourselves are looking for excuses to justify our unwillingness to change something in a relationship - fatigue from work, the need to save money this month, a bad mood or a second cousin's birthday.

Therefore, you still have to make some efforts to make the "rule 2-2-2" part of your life together - a ritual that will form the basis of a long and happy relationship with a partner.
