NURTURING LOVE AND BONDING THROUGH SCREEN

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Lockdown pan nation and across has forced many couples to stay away from each other, a sudden change in lifestyle that most of us aren’t accustomed to when it comes to close relationships. Absence of that special someone from your everyday life, intentionally or unintentionally, can be very overwhelming. As the governments across world have raced to implement sudden lockdowns to prevent spread of this pandemic, it has definetly left many stranded away from their homes and lovers. On the other front, it has also left many long distance relationships to postpone their meet-ups that were to happen soon. But isolation should not b allowed to take toll on our relationships and hamper them. Whether far or near, isolation gives us an opportunity to strengthen our bonds. Living away from your partner could let you miss them more often than regular times and therefore, here we bring you 6 ways by which you can nurture your relationship through your screen.

Don’t wait, communicate

It was definitely easy to visit or meet each other before lockdown began, but with continuos self isolation, the conversations and stories must have ran out with no social life. It’s difficult to communicate about the same everyday routine and thus the conversations loosing their spark. So it would be effective to utilize this time and let your partner know about your feelings. It’s that perfect time to have those deep conversations. You can plan out the future. Don’t fear that they may not understand or listen to you. It’s a tough time for them and they miss you too. They would be very understanding as they have time to think on the problems and also would find ways to overcome any obstacle.

Be the virtual companion

At times like lockdowns, technology can be our best friend. Normal video calls and texts may not be enough to prevent you from missing your partner therefore try to spend time virtually with each other. Try to do things like cooking, eating or even exercising together via video calls. You can also plan many activities like your favourite book or doing a certain activity like watching same movie at the same time. It would help you feel less lonely and thus more connected to your partner.

Surprise them

Who doesn’t love surprises, especially when they come from that special someone. But with lockdown, where getting any gift or surprise delivered is tough, apps like LOKLOK provide you the wonderful opportunity to surprise your partners virtually by letting you draw or write messages on their lock-screen. It would not only make them feel special but also appreciated and loved.

Create a vision board

Optimism is the ray of hope in any difficult time. With lots of free time at hand, this is your chance to create a virtual board together with your partner and write down all the things that you always wanted to have in your bucket list. Once the lockdown is over, you will have your targets set to live the kind of life you always wanted to.

Be a busy bee

Having personal space even if far away is an important part of any relationship to be successful. Try to find and indulge in various activities and hobbies that you like and stay busy. It would not only keep your mind away from negative thoughts but also let you have some stories to share about your day with your partner making up into a great conversation.

Let dress-up games begin

You can go ahead and plan a virtual date with your partner as you dress-up once again. Set aside a time and focus only on your partner during that time on video call. Spend good amount of time dressing up and doing your makeup for this date, and see yourself feel relaxed and connected with your partner.
