COVID-19 has many people living, working, and parenting from the confines of their homes. For couples, this new normal is a big adjustment. Trying to figure out a new work-from-home schedule while homeschooling kids, making lunches, and handling a conference call isn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n

And romance? Where does that fit in anymore? Finding five minutes of alone time is hard enough right now, let alone finding time for romance. Sixty-six percent of couples say their relationship lacks intimacy right now, according to Newsweek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s important to keep that spark alive. Truthfully, maintaining a healthy relationship required work long before COVID, it\u2019s just that your efforts might look a little different now.<\/p>\n

Date night ideas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here are several isolated-but-fun date night ideas:<\/p>\n

    Movie night<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You can still rent or buy movies online from several different TV apps like Hulu or Amazon. Pick a flick, (maybe a romantic comedy), pop some popcorn, and see where the night takes you.<\/p>\n

      Game night<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Break out the board games or the deck of cards. Consider having wine delivered and enjoy a fun night of games.<\/p>\n

        Backyard stargazing<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Plan to spend a little time under the stars. This is a great option for parents with kids. Once they\u2019re asleep, sneak outside with a blanket and a few snacks and do some snuggling in the moonlight.<\/p>\n

          Kind gestures<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Sometimes all it takes to get someone in a playful, sexy mood is to make a kind gesture. Pick some wildflowers on your next walk, surprise your partner with an outdoor picnic, write a love note, or print your favorite pictures of the two of you. These small, kind gestures can bring back that loving feeling.<\/p>\n

          Connecting during COVID might be a little more difficult since so much has changed, but it\u2019s not impossible. It\u2019s all about making time for each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
