Tips to taking care of your marriage while in quarantine

With corporate orders for employees to work from home, as well as social distancing measures imposed by governments, couples spend a lot of time confined at home. For families living in small houses, this can limit (or extinguish) each individual’s personal space.

Alone time

Spending time alone every now and then is important and will help your marriage to get through the pandemic. In some tense situations, being alone thinking or listening to music is the best solution.

Create new routines

Social distancing is something new for everyone and we are still adapting. Besides, each day we receive new news about the coronavirus and the pandemic, giving the feeling of unpredictability. Therefore, it is important to create new habits and routines to give meaning and purpose to life. Assign roles to each person, and decide together who does each chore in the house.

Don’t push for sex

Perhaps you will notice that the couple’s sexual desire in the pandemic falls short of normal. That’s because stress lowers libido a lot, sometimes around 85% for some people. On the other hand, if you are in the group of 15% of people who do not have sexual interest changed by stress, know that perhaps your partner may be in the opposite situation. Dealing with the situation inappropriately can hurt both with rejection and guilt.
