Cupid’s Advice:

Quarantine can be hard on any relationship, but it can take an especially heavy toll on those who are already having issues. If you’re worried about COVID-19 ending your relationship for you, Cupid has some advice for you:

1. Make sure you’re on the same page: Everyone is extra stressed out right now. Take time to discuss what is troubling you both most. Once you’re both aware of what about the pandemic is worrying you most, you can work as a team to find ways to deal with it.

2. Find an activity to do together: You and your partner are probably spending much more time together. While every waking moment doesn’t need to be spent together, find something you and your partner can do together that lets the two of you have quality time together. Do a puzzle, have movie nights, anything to make quarantine still feel like dating.

3. Focus on communication: Having healthy communication with your partner is always important, but it’s even more vital when you’re with them 24/7. Especially in such a high-stress time, you’re bound to have disagreements. Make sure to be empathetic and steer clear from trying to “win” the argument by belittling your partner.
