The news hasn't been good: business and schools have shut their doors. Heck, even some countries have shut down. And the story is awful in other ways. For instance, I read that the divorce rate in China is heading north, and social distancing is to blame. Apparently, lots of forced alone time is not beneficial to many relationships.

Exploring the world isn't the best option with Coronavirus rapidly expanding its reach. But I can help your relationship not only survive but to truly thrive during this challenging time. You may need to keep your distance from the general populace, but it's the perfect time to get closer to the one you love.
