TikTik is full of relationship advice and let's face it! But, recently, a new trend called "2-2-2" is circulating! The "rule" is simple: Every two weeks, enjoy an evening as a couple. Every couple of months, get away for a weekend together. And every two years, get away for a week together.
"I think the 2-2-2 rule is great," says relationship expert Sabrina Bendory. "A relationship is something that needs constant nourishment. If you don't make time for your partner and for the relationship, then you can break up and just be friends with each other."
Benefits of this rule:
This rule really gives you a framework to work with to make sure you're filling each other's love "tank" and prioritizing spending time together. So, you are engaged in work, family, with children and life as a couple, but you choose to build a calendar dedicated just to the two of you as a couple respecting this rule that is a very good commitment to your relationship as a couple.
Are there negative aspects?
"It's a little rigid as a rule because it's just impossible for some people," Bendory says. For example, if you have small children, getting away for a weekend or a full week may not be possible. Or you may have the kind of job that won't let you quit for days at a time. So, in short, going away for a few days causes more headaches for both partners, especially when there are no spaces or opportunities.
In conclusion?
The "2-2-2 rule" sounds great in theory and is likely to be a very effective way to bond with your partner, but it's just not realistic for most couples. But, this does not mean that you do not transform it as an approach, so the desire is enough. You can watch a movie together in the evening, spend time cuddling, express more appreciation to each other in acceptable and beautiful ways, etc.
