Every relationship goes through the following stages: infatuation, romantic beginnings, a complete relationship, and then friendship. The first months when we meet our other half are always full of exciting moments and butterflies in the stomach. We devote maximum attention to our partner and every moment together is precious to us. However, as time passes and routine and daily responsibilities creep into life, the flame in the relationship fades. It takes the commitment of two people to keep it going. Often, after 10 years of relationship, indifference appears and then the relationship may fall apart. Couples therapist Laura Silverstein says that the key to success is building bonds and collecting shared memories.
Method 222. How to fight boredom in a relationship?
Method 222 can help fight boredom in a relationship. Some time ago, its use was recommended by, among others, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who have been happily married for over 10 years. It is based on three simple principles:
- go on a date every two weeks;
- organize a city break every two months (go away for a weekend for two to enjoy each other’s company);
- take a longer vacation every two years (it should be at least a week’s vacation, which will allow you to break away from everyday duties).
This way you will show your partner that he is still important to you. Paying attention to each other, listening to each other and spending time together will make your hearts beat faster again. – The 2-2-2 method encourages you to look at yourself in a new-old way. We will remember why we fell in love and rekindle the spark needed to survive the relationship, emphasizes Amber Lee.
The theory of peeling an orange
It is also important to show care for each other, even through the smallest gestures. Recently, the theory of peeling an orange has become popular on TikTok. The idea was to ask our partner for help with something we can do on our own – e.g. peeling an orange. – I think we’ve all been in a relationship where we felt like we literally had to be on our knees begging for someone to bring us flowers or pick up dinner on the way home – explained Anna Birmingham. Showing affection through small things makes a relationship stronger.
