The FIFA World Cup 2022 Final is just around the corner! There will be two more matches in which teams will compete for third, second, and first place in the world’s largest football tournament.

It’s critical to keep the spark in a relationship alive, especially for couples who have been together for a long time. Couples can use the World Cup 2022 momentum to rekindle the flame in their relationship.

Use this opportunity to spend some quality time with your partner during this four-year cycle. You can make it even more special by following these dating tips:

• Choose to support different teams during the match and place a fun bet on the winner or the score

If you have followed the 2022 World Cup from the beginning, watching the matches together can feel mundane after a while. Instead, you and your partner can pick opposing teams and place a bet on the winner or the score. There will be an adrenaline rush when you debate with each other on which team is better!

• Go on a shopping date to buy matching jerseys

You can also plan a shopping date to buy matching jerseys to make the occasion even more special. Shopping together is fun as you get to dress each other up and choose something that you think would look good on your partner.

• End work earlier during the match day and surprise your partner by picking them up

When you have been in a relationship for a long time, the romance might have fizzled out. This is an excellent time to rekindle the flame in your relationship by surprising your partner with an unexpected pick-up at work. You definitely would earn brownie points for this sweet gesture.

• Plan a grocery shopping date to buy snacks and drinks for the Final

Like they say, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!” Grocery shopping dates are an excellent way for couples to spend quality time together. You and your partner can grocery shop before the game to get snacks and drinks.

• For ladies, you can put your makeup kit to good use and draw the flag of your fav team on your and your partner’s face

Physical contact is also essential for couples. Instead of simply cuddling with your partner while waiting for the Final match to begin, you can use your makeup skills to draw your favorite team’s flag on your and your partner’s faces.

• Surprise your date by preparing a unique location to watch the Final game

The Final is supposed to be more memorable. Instead of watching at the same location you and your partner used to watch other matches, you can start planning a surprise for your date by planning a unique location to watch the Final game. 

You can always set up an outdoor date and stream the match on your laptop or tablet. Feel free to be creative and let your hair down. A new atmosphere also benefits your relationship, making it less boring.

• When the Final result is out, ensure the winner will get the reward, and the loser will get ‘punished’ for losing the bet!

Remember to include the bet’s reward and punishment! If you lose, be a sport and take the ‘punishment’ and of course remember to reward your partner if he/she is the winning party. Do not be a sore loser and go back on the bet. A strong relationship is based on trust and fulfillment of commitment.

According to Violet Lim, the CEO and Co-Founder of Lunch Actually, Asia’s first and largest dating agency, “A relationship is something that is not constant.
