Rule 777 has nothing to do with the name of a famous airplane. It has to do with how often you should do certain activities, to strengthen your relationship. Here are the details.
When was the last time you went on a romantic weekend away? If you can’t remember (or it never happened!) you need to adopt Rule 777 to strengthen your relationship, reports Psychology Today.
What is Rule 777?
This rule is simple. It promises to strengthen the bonds in your couple and solidify your romantic relationship. Here are the different points.
Have a date once every 7 days
By following rule 777, you will have to have a romantic date with your partner once a week. Spa, cinema, restaurant… It’s up to you to choose and vary the pleasures! In any case, this date should be a ritual, from which neither you nor your partner should deviate.
Schedule a romantic night once every 7 weeks
Every two months, you should spend a night with your partner, as a couple. It is not necessarily necessary to go very far, but it is still recommended to take a hotel, in order to be in a different place, for the time of a night.
Go on a getaway every 7 months
Finally, the last point of rule 777 provides for organizing a vacation or a long weekend for a getaway for two. The duration of this stay must be longer than one night, in order to enjoy a long time spent together, far from the routine of everyday life.
Spend time together to solidify the relationship
Rule 777 is actually a way to spend time together, regularly, in order to maintain your relationship and not get tired of each other, due to a busy daily life.
But this rule is not necessarily the solution to all relationship problems. You should not take it literally and respect the deadlines of 7 days, 7 weeks or 7 months perfectly. On the one hand, because it can be difficult or even impossible to maintain financially or logistically (if you have to have your children looked after, for example), but also because you also have to leave a part of spontaneity in the relationship. Finally, without forgetting that the little attentions of everyday life also play a vital role in strengthening a romantic relationship.
