A fulfilling sex life is a crucial element of a relationship. However, many couples complain that, at some point, their sex life becomes dull and predictable. How can this be prevented? Up to 83% of couples recommend traveling with a partner—without necessarily going far.

Sex can enrich and somewhat spoil a relationship. It all depends on whether the partners are satisfied with their sex life and honest with each other. As is widely known, the key to most misunderstandings is communication—a point many couples still overlook. Implementing a method recommended by over 80% of couples can additionally heat up the atmosphere in a relationship.

Couples recommend this method for better sex

The US Travel Association conducted research showing that up to 83% of respondents who travel with their partner believe that these trips keep their relationship exciting. It is the trips—not necessarily far—that bring couples closer together, and as a result of relaxation, they enjoy much better sex.

Additionally, up to 72% of respondents admit that trips rekindle their feelings, and 63% prefer to receive a trip with their partner as a gift rather than another material thing. Therefore, joint trips seem to be the key to success.

The 222 method

To have a happy and successful relationship, you can also try the 222 method used by the Hollywood couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. What does it involve?

As Dr. Mateusz Grzesiak, a psychologist and lecturer at the WSB Academy, explained in an interview with "Good Morning TVN":

The 222 method suggests acting in a certain way in a relationship to build bonds. Every two weeks, we should go on romantic dates (e.g., dinner, movie, theater, or concert); every two months, spend a weekend as a couple (exploring new places, going out of town, or enjoying a so-called city break); and every two years, go on a week-long vacation just the two of us (to enjoy each other and nurture intimacy).

This method primarily aims to prevent routine from creeping into the relationship.
