Whether you and your partner have lived under the same roof for 5 or 40 years, the situation with the corona virus has turned many things upside down. Some got closer during the pandemic itself and the resulting quarantine, while others drifted apart. Stress and anxiety are among the fastest ways to extinguish intimacy in a relationship.
When you and your partner are at work, you come home full of stories to share. This also keeps the spark alive and grows together. But if you and your partner are together every day, tension can quickly arise. If you still work from home, or if you plan to do so again in the near future, we recommend that you (p)remain active in your personal sphere. Exercise, read books, watch movies and discuss it with your partner.
1. Separate workspace
If you work from home, do it in separate rooms if possible and do not socialize with other family members during working hours, as this can only be a distraction for you. Allow yourself to be detached so that you have something to talk about at the end of the day.
2. Create new healthy habits
Regular exercise and a healthy diet are good for everything – including your sex drive, stamina and sense of well-being.
3. Meditate together
There are quite a few ways of meditating together that you can use to improve your sense of calmness and closeness. Simply sitting with your eyes closed while holding hands is one option. Another is eye contact, which can be very conducive to intimacy. Classic tantric the practice is to sit close together, legs wrapped around each other, and try to breathe as one.
4. Arrange a date
Maybe it's time to give it a try something new, because it will probably bond you more than ever. Have you ever thought about a date in nature, a picnic on the deck at sunset and homemade sandwiches? After the picnic, enjoy a warm bath and indulge in activities in bed.
