You may not be familiar with what a couple bubble is, but it’s easy to define. Think about that movie “Bubble Boy,” where a young man grew up inside a bubble, totally separate from the rest of the world. This is similar to what a couple bubble is. Though you may think that it isolates you both, it could just end up saving your relationship.

Being Inside A Couple Bubble Is Beneficial

Because you are “inside” an imaginary bubble, your only focus is each other. You devote yourselves to tasks and gestures that are solely beneficial to your relationship. “We come first,” is your motto. This doesn’t mean that you won’t make mistakes or that you won’t argue when you’re inside your bubble. You may have couple fights from time to time, but you don’t fail to get yourselves back on track.

How To Create The Bubble

Creating the bubble is simple. You just need to have a sit-down with your partner and talk about devoting yourselves to each other. Basically, the couple bubble is an agreement. You are responsible for holding up your part of the deal and your partner is too.

What To Remember

Creating the bubble may sound simple but it requires a good amount of discipline. To help you create it, here are some tips:

1. Think about your partner’s perspective of safety and security.

The two factors that you need to focus on when in a couple bubble is your partner’s safety and security. Just remember that you to view these from your partner’s perspective. It’s so easy to get sidetracked by your own thinking of what safety and security should be.

2. Make sure that the bubble is mutually maintained.

Your bubble won’t be able to survive if only one person is doing all the work. However, remember that no one is perfect so there’s bound to be some mistakes that are going to be made. Gently remind each other that the bubble (or your relationship) is the priority.

3. Use your bubble wisely.

Always bear in mind that your bubble is your safe space. Share your vulnerabilities, don’t be afraid to do so. This is why the bubble is there. By doing this, you will remain more connected and in the bubble for a long time.
