You and your partner can spend the night cuddling while watching a new movie or you can even spend some time in the kitchen and cook something together.
Many people, especially if they aren’t deemed an essential worker, have lots of downtime these days. During your downtime with your partner, try to find activities that you can do together that you will both enjoy.

Share in the housekeeping responsibilities with your partner so that one person isn’t stuck doing everything or stuck cleaning the same things day in and day out. Take turns cleaning certain areas of your home. Not many people like to clean, but it is something needs to be done and it can become much more tolerable when you share in the responsibilities.
