It should go without saying that time spent together fosters intimacy. All phases and forms of romantic relationships, including dating, cohabitation, long-distance relationships, marriage, and others, have been demonstrated to benefit from shared relationship activities and joint leisure activities in terms of relationship functioning and happiness. Relationship activities include everything that partners can do together, such as watching a movie, taking art or cooking classes, going on a hike, or traveling.

Relationship rituals are interactions between partners that are deliberate, regular, and have symbolic significance. A ritual differs significantly from a routine in that routines are tasks that must be completed, such as folding laundry or going grocery shopping. Only if the couple attaches a lot of significance to this activity can grocery shopping become a ritual. 

Someone occasionally discover that they are attracted to people other than their partner. The terms "alternative others," "possible others," and "potential alternatives" all describe people who might constitute a threat to your relationship or serve as an alternative to your current one. How can you keep your commitment and reduce the likelihood of adultery in a world when there are many options?

Derogating, or downplaying, the allure of potential alternatives, is one choice. It has been demonstrated that using this cognitive method can aid those who are extremely motivated to stick with their spouses. The drawback is that one cannot be made to disregard viable options. Making your spouse disregard potential witnesses could have the opposite effect of what you planned and drive them closer to the prohibited.
