How to strengthen relationships during quarantine: TOP-5 tips

The Chinese felt it. British publications report that after the cancellation quarantine in China, the divorce rate has skyrocketed. The reason is trivial - the spouses spent too much time under one roof. But how to survive quarantine without consequences for the family? The host of "Kohannya na vijivannya" and a certified psychologist Oleg Kenzov shared some secrets.

Share household chores

In isolation, you need not only to take care of the house, children, but also work. If all household duties fall on the shoulders of one adult, it will quickly exhaust him. He will begin to break down on loved ones, the family will plunge into conflicts. What to do? To help each other. While the husband closes the deadline, the wife can do homework with the children. While the spouse is working, the husband can cook dinner or clean the apartment. Helping with household "little things" will only strengthen the relationship. And it will show that in difficult times you can count on each other.

Give thanks

A banal "thank you" for the laundry hung after washing, a cooked dinner, a tidied up apartment, a trip to the store will cheer up the soul mate and motivate to help even more.

Don't build up discontent

You need to immediately pronounce everything that does not suit you. Just do not express it rudely and with claims. So there will be a scandal. But there is no need to hush up problems either. Otherwise, you will build up irritation and then just break out. If the sound of the TV bothers you while you are working, calmly ask it to turn it off or offer to watch a movie with headphones.

Time to be alone

It is important for a healthy person to spend time only with himself. Sometimes it is enough to be alone for 15 minutes or half an hour. It helps to rebuild and structure thoughts. Take care of the household chores and children, and let your significant other read a book or lie in the bathroom, and then let your loved one do the same for you.

Make an equal effort

In a relationship, like on a football field, a one-sided game is impossible. Only the giving and desire of both partners can strengthen the bond in a couple. If during the quarantine one will please the second, but in return does not receive anything - "there will be no kin." But if both begin to help, support each other, lend their shoulders at the right moment, then quarantine will benefit the relationship.

In a normal relationship, where each participant is a complete and independent unit, isolation will go smoothly and smoothly. After all, this is another reason to be together and strengthen your connection. And if the relationship is neurasthenic and codependent, then at least quarantine for them, at least a joint vacation - quarrels and conflicts are inevitable. But this is a separate topic for the article.

Quarantine is an extreme relationship. Almost as extreme as they were for couples on the set of "Cohannia vijivannya" in Peru. The premiere will take place very soon on the New Channel.
