Stuck in a Relationship Routine?

Are you feeling stuck in your relationship routine? With the chill of winter setting in, the financial pinch, and the early evenings making outdoor activities less appealing, it’s the perfect season to rediscover the joy of date nights right in the comfort of your home.

A revealing study highlights that a significant portion of UK couples spend an extensive amount of their year binge-watching TV, with minimal physical affection. Furthermore, data from the General Social Survey sheds light on the dwindling frequency of intimate encounters among married couples;

Relationship stats; One-third of couples in the UK spend 43 days a year streaming TV and only 4% cuddle whilst doing so. The average number of times per week married couples have sex:

• 25% once a week
• 17% once a month
• 10% hadn’t had sex in the past year

It’s high time to break free from this cycle and reignite the spark in your relationship.
