Lockdown is tough on the best relationships so we want to hear readers’ advice on how to stay strong

Love in a time of Covid: tell us how you stay together

Life in lockdown can be testing. The coronavirus crisis has meant that most of us are shut in together and mostly just trying to get along – but even the best relationships can be strained.

We know what that could mean: China’s divorce rate spiked after its quarantine period ended with countless couples heading for splitsville. So we all need tips and advice on how to avoid that fate from those who’ve figured out how to stay together, no matter what. Those couples who’ve made it through in good times and bad – sometimes with help and sometimes with bare grit and determination.

We’ve already collected some great tips in our How we stay together series: advice like plan projects together like Warren and Kevin, be silly as suggested by James and Rebecca and remember there are always two sides to the story, as Marcia and John have learnt. And there have been plenty of other tips too.

But we always need more so we want to hear from you. This is your opportunity to share your journey and advice on how to have a successful and lasting relationship.

Share your story

We’re keen to hear from couples of all backgrounds and orientations – especially if your relationship is non-traditional. Tell us about what you’ve learnt and we may interview you and your partner for our How we stay together series.
