Never Stop Dating Your Significant Friend Using the 2-2-2 Rule
It’s easy to calm down in a long-term relationship. If you need a little help maintaining a romantic relationship, follow this rule to date regularly .
For many, the best way to maintain a relationship is to “never stop dating.” Redditor ckernan2 came up with a great rule of thumb to keep yourself in check:
On our wedding night, I told my wife that we now have a 2/2/2 rule. It looks like this:
- Every 2 weeks we leave for the evening.
- Every 2 months we leave for the weekend.
- Every 2 years we go out for a week.
We adhere to this principle, and it’s really great. We got married in August and people still ask how long our honeymoon phase will last. I think this will continue as long as we stick with our two.
Of course, you don’t need to be aggressive about this, and you can even adjust the numbers to better suit your lifestyle. But basic guidance is useful to keep in mind. If it’s been a month since the two of you had the right date (and you both love to go out), it might be time to play catch-up.
