TIPS ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AND HOW TO PRIORITISE FUN, QUALITY TIME AGAIN.

Due to the pandemic the amount of people having date nights has decreased. This is mainly due to the fact that people haven’t been going out and about as much as previously. If you find yourself in a date night rut there are lots of things you can do to reinvigorate your date nights.

Rethink how you have date nights. You don’t have to leave your home in order to have a date night. There are lots of things you can do without leaving your house. Buy some nice food and cook a lovely meal together. Set the mood by having candles and relaxing music. Dress the part to make yourself feel good and most importantly make sure you won’t be disturbed. Turn off all distractions including phone and tables and just spend time in each others company.

If you don’t fancy having a formal meal have a carpet picnic and movie night. Treat yourself to lots of nice edible treats and lay them all out on a rug. Pick a movie you both like and snuggle up together in your pajamas.

By not spending quality time together as a couple it will have a detrimental effect on your relationship. Life can get very busy and it can become easy to overlook your partner. This leads to feelings of loneliness. It’s important to remind your partner that they are important to you and to show your appreciation for them. You don’t have to spend money to show someone that you love and care for them. Just give them your time. Practice active listening. Really listen and hear what your partner has to say. Don’t interrupt them mid conversation and don’t just wait for you turn to speak. Hear them and make them feel valued and that their voice matters.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
