5 Tips on How to Maintain the Spice of a Relationship During the Pandemic

Being in a relationship and maintaining one, especially in the trying times, can be very difficult and challenging. It takes a lot of adjustments, taking up a new course, and constant poking of the coal of desirability to keep the heat of the relationship burning. Or else, everything will be stagnant, and your relationship will only end up as a routine.

You will grow tired of the things that used to excite you as a couple. And thus, you will see yourselves not compromising enough for each other.

And you don’t want that to happen, do you? Especially now, in the times of the pandemic, when everyone is having a hard time. As a couple, the company of each other gives comfort.

And in return, communicate your feelings openly towards your partner. There shouldn’t be a space for sugarcoating and lies, to avoid breaking each other’s trust.

Try a New Hobby

The answer is to explore and try things that are new to both of you. Board games, reading, watching anime, art-appreciation, painting, laughing at memes, etc. are just some of those things. And when you finally find that thing that both of you enjoy doing, make it a new hobby.
