Make the Most of SIP with Your Partner

If you’re part of the 90% of Americans under a stay-at-home order right now, and you live with your significant other, you might be feeling a significant shift in your relationship. Here’s the thing: our context has changed and therefore our relationship is bound to go through a range of new experiences. It’s up to you and your partner to make the most of it and take advantage of the opportunity to enhance and strengthen your relationship. Here are a few ideas. 

1. Take care of yourself 

There’s no substitute for self-care, especially in a relationship.

2. Now is the time to spoil yourself with delivery services 

Whether you’re self-quarantining or simply don’t feel like leaving the house, delivery services are your best friend. They keep you safe and introduce variety into your stay at home life. 

3. Plan quality time 

Nothing can replace the need for quality time together in a relationship. Use this pandemic to get to know your partner in new ways.

As a couple, you get to decide how to use the extra time at home. You can choose to take advantage of these unique circumstances and develop the relationship you want. Remember to practice self-care, use delivery services for food and other essentials, and schedule quality time with one another. Why let the opportunity pass to create something great out of the stay at home order?
