Over the past 26 years, we have worked with thousands of amazing couples across the world. Recently we have seen many couples spend a lot of time, money and energy trying to figure out whether to keep or postpone their wedding date. With the COVID-19 Pandemic at large now, we're seeing many more couples stuck at home and waiting anxiously for their special wedding weekend. We started the DRETalks to lighten up the mood, give couples helpful advice, and of course keep everyone entertained. For all the couples out there here's 10 things to do with your significant other.

10 Things to do with Your Significant Other

1) Calling Your Significant Other

Call often and catchup on daily routines and work.
Always make sure that you both had good days.
Talk about plans you have for the night at home, like cooking, doing chores, or if you plan on relaxing in front of the TV.

2) Video Chatting

FaceTime to see each other when you can't meetup.
It's important to see other to make sure you're both doing well.
Great way to see each other's expressions when you tell them any kind of news versus through text or phone call.

3) TV Shows and Movies

Watch the same shows and movies.
Recap the shows or movies nightly to see the different perspective or theory on what the next episode could be.

4) Instagram Sharing

In the DM's on Instagram, on the top part of the screen there is a video icon where you can video chat with a person you have a message thread going on with.
The cool feature is that you can share liked posts with each other by pressing the media button at the bottom.
An example on how this helps couples is that it helps with wedding planning to send outfit posts to each other and talk about it while seeing the image.
