“Antonio and I are in a relationship rut,” says your friend Gregor. Explain what a “relationship rut” is and use your knowledge of the skills for relationship maintenance to give Gregor advice on how to combat this.
What will be an ideal response?
A relationship rut is composed of patterns of relational behavior that have become stale to those who are in them. There are several ways to combat them. You might suggest that Gregor perform random acts of romance by surprising Antonio with a date night or by leaving love notes in unexpected places. He can also repackage everyday actions to make them romantic. Perhaps instead of watching whatever’s on TV, they should choose a romantic movie to watch instead.
