Happy relationship during Corona

5 Tips for a happy relationship - despite Corona

The Corona pandemic points in a special way to problems that have been present within society for a long time. Among other things, many couples are currently noticing that the initial feeling of "lockdown romance" is fading.

Where about a year ago it was incredibly sexy to enjoy the "us against the rest of the world" feeling in your home bubble, now discussions are often the order of the day.

However, so that "cabin fever" doesn't stand a chance, it's important to intervene in time and possibly even save your love. The following tips can help support the partnership during this difficult time.

Tip No. 1: Create free space

Anyone who sits on top of each other 24 hours a day - perhaps thanks to the Corona home office - needs a break every now and then (and even in the happiest relationship). That's why it's all the more important to create free space even during lockdown.

How about a jog without your partner? Exercise in the fresh air helps to clear your head of worries and the like. Sometimes a simple walk is enough to realize that the current situation is difficult, but certainly not hopeless. After such small actions, the togetherness can then usually be enjoyed even better.

Tip #2: Find new, shared hobbies

Admittedly, during the Corona Pandemic, many leisure activities fall flat. But the good news is that all it takes is a little imagination to provide a little variety. After all, hobbies can also be enjoyed within your own four walls.

Whether it's passionate PC gaming, yoga via video tutorial or reading: it's never too late to start looking for new pastimes. Especially when both partners start together and have not yet been able to gain any previous experience with regard to a particular hobby, the relationship can be strengthened even further in this way.

Tip No. 3: A cozy home

At a time when people spend a particularly large amount of time at home, their own four walls should naturally be attractively designed. The good news in this context is that actions around the house and garden do not have to be expensive.

How about a little "upcycling" for example? Here, old objects are "spruced up" a bit and then integrated into the living space.

If you want, you can also transform your home bathroom into a wellness oasis and/or "finally" clean out the basement.

Tip #4: Distribute tasks

The stress level is particularly high thanks to Corona? Then it makes sense not to add fuel to the fire here, but instead to work together perfectly. An individual distribution of tasks helps to spare each other's nerves.

For example, if you know your partner hates doing the dishes, you can take over that part while your friend agrees to do the rest of the shopping for the weekend on Saturday night.

Certainly, in every relationship there are very individual "favorite tasks" that can be taken into account - for example in the form of a weekly list. In this way, bad moods can usually be prevented a little better.

Tip #5: Common rituals

Especially now it is important to be able to rely on some constants in life. What could be more effective than rituals? Performed regularly, the body and psyche often adjust to the corresponding processes after a short time.

Particularly popular are cooking together on a Friday evening, watching a TV show, taking a bath together at the end of the day and so on... There are usually no limits to the imagination.

Here you can find our conclusion

The Corona pandemic poses major challenges for even the happiest of relationships. If you keep reminding yourself that just about everyone is currently under stress and that minor disputes and arguments are quite "normal", you can for the most part face the situation a little more relaxed.

As is often the case, it helps to talk to each other and at the same time accept your partner's freedom. In this way, even a pandemic should not lead to a functioning relationship being called into question.
