GUEST COMMENTARY: BY TA’SHAR CUCCURULLO
FREEPORT, Grand Bahama, Oct. 26, 2023 — I might be considered a bit old-fashioned, but I’ve always held the belief that in a romantic relationship, it’s generally best to avoid discussing topics like politics and other somber subjects. These subjects have the potential to place a considerable weight on the relationship.
It’s quite intriguing to observe how, with certain individuals, engaging in these conversations can cause them to take up significant mental space whenever you’re around them.
Imagine being with your spouse, and all that stands out is their constant discussions about current political issues. It can sometimes make it somewhat challenging to fully embrace the romantic aspects of the relationship, such as tender moments, dinners out, dancing, and all the other delightful things that make romantic partnerships special. In my view, it’s often a better idea to maintain a separation between the global issues, like pandemics and COVID-19, and your romantic relationship, as these topics can often be somewhat draining, taking away from the enchantment of romance.
It remains crucial to prioritize intimacy and togetherness in our relationships. Engaging in meaningful discussions and creating shared experiences can work to strengthen the romantic bond. Rather than solely focusing on routine matters, couples should make a conscious effort to center their attention on one another and rekindle the sparks of romance in their relationship.
Have an amazing day!
