Whether you live with people you care about, or if your significant other currently lives in a different home, you may struggle with showing love during this quarantine. It makes sense: you want to minimize the risk of anyone getting sick, but it’s still difficult to be apart. If you want to keep romance alive despite the Coronavirus pandemic, try out these ideas.
Positive Messages – Sending positive messages to each other can keep the romance strong in relationships. Remember that physical touch is only one of the five love languages: you can still give words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time and sending gifts. Luckily, we live in a time where you can easily give words of affirmation online.

Use either your social media messages or text messaging to just tell them “I care about you so much you” or anything else that you feel. Even though you can’t physically be next to each other, you can still send loving words. This works well for a husband and wife apart from each other because of their current circumstances.
Do Something Nice – You can also try and think up nice things to do for them. Maybe you can’t stop by your significant other’s house, but you can still water their plants or mow their lawn. Look for acts of service that you can do outside of the house to show your feelings and act romantically towards the one you care about.
You can always look for ways to do something nice for people that you care about. Figure out what others would like and appreciate. Sure, you can’t be physically next to each other, but you can still do things for each other. Just spend some time thinking up ideas and ways to show your significant other that you care.
Order Food Online – People worry about food during these times since they can’t go to the store as often. On top of this, if they do go to the store, they worry that they may catch the virus. If you want to help out someone you care about, order them food online and have it delivered directly to his or her house.
Not only will you save them money, but you minimize the risk of you or them catching anything. This keeps everyone safe while also covering their needs. This makes it a great option of people with kids since you can help them pay for those costs despite not being able to work at the time.
Spend Time Together Online – Even if you can’t be next to each other, you can still spend some time together online. You have many tools to use to make this easier, such as voice chats, online messaging or video calls. This makes it a great way to still interact and talk despite being in different locations or if you can’t see each other.
If you get tired of talking, try playing games online with each other. You can use game consoles and spend some time together. Even without consoles, you can use your phone to play games with each other. Simple interactions like this will allow you to still be with each other despite social distancing.
Start to Create Plans – Remember that you won’t have to be separated forever. You can start talking with each other and create plans for your future. Where do you want to go after the pandemic? What activities could you do together? Should you go travelling somewhere fun? What places should you eat out at? Ask questions similar to these.
Creating plans can help you remain hopeful for the future while avoiding negative thoughts and feelings about the pandemic. It doesn’t hurt to think up plans, and even if you can’t pick specific times for those plans, you can still come up with fun ideas. Brainstorming and planning work as great ways to distract your mind from negativity.
Conclusion – Even though you can’t physically be near people that you care about during this quarantine, you can still express your feelings to each other. You just have to get more creative and rely on other ways to show your feelings. Make sure to try out these ideas and other ideas that come to your mind during these difficult times
