If you are reuniting with loved one after the pandemic, ahead of time before getting together discuss how you will hug, if you will hug, who is “safe” ( vaccinated or immune or not) so both are comfortable.
As mentioned before married people have been reluctant to be intimate without safety precautions in place. This has effected bonding and yearning and feeling needed or needing that person.
So something as basic as not communicating and asking your partner their stance on taking a subway or bus or returning to the real office can halt romance after the pandemic .
1. Dr. Bonnie recommends daily and weekly 10 minute chats to discuss” after the pandemic” decisions to “check in” with your partner.
2. If both “safe” from either vaccination or being immune or tested do a 20 sec. hug with your partner for that “rush” or dopamine high DAILY.
3. Do that 30 second kiss DAILY for that oxytocin, to recreate those same chemicals you made when you first fell in love
4. Remember to make up, not break, up you need to stay in “touch” with your partner through REAL “touch”, and face to face communication, looking into each other’s eyes for intimacy.
5. Affirmations 20 seconds a day of why you are so lovable, from your partner and visa versa is how you slowly find your way back to each other!
6. TEXTING or zooming does not cut it!! Gazing in each other’s eyes and “touching” and the actual soothing of your loved one’s voice brings back those oxytocin and dopamine chemicals pre-pandemic and even from yester year to woo you back!
Remember it’s what happens OUTSIDE the bedroom that affects inside the bedroom. Make the time to make up not break up, that includes those of you who break up to make up. Its a CONSCIOUS choice to STAY in love and here’s how to do it so DO IT!!
