The 2-2-2 Rule involves going on a date night every two weeks, spending a weekend away every two months and taking a week-long vacation away every two years. The idea behind it is that prioritizing and planning to spend time together strengthens your relationship.
Here's how the 777 Rule works: every seven days you go on a date, every seven weeks you go away for the night and every seven months the two of you head off on a romantic holiday.
“My 333 strategy is based on dating three people, at the same time, for three months, and giving them three chances if something bothers you comes up.
The 777 rule suggests that couples should go on a date every seven days, an overnight getaway every seven weeks, and a week-long holiday every seven months.
Enter the 2-2-2 rule: Try and swing a date night every two weeks, a weekend away every two months and a week away every two years. The rule has its origins on a Reddit thread from 2015 and has in recent weeks reappeared on social media as a form of relationship advice.
Do one relationship filler every day. One thing that you both enjoy together. So again, that 3, 2, 1 rule- three personal fillers every day, two deposits into the relationship reservoir and one relationship filler, something that you both enjoy everyday.
The guidance says committed couples should go on a date once every two weeks, spend a weekend away every two months and take a week-long vacation every two years.
The 37% rule tells us you ought to enjoy yourself on the first three — have a laugh and a drink or two — but do not arrange a second date with any of them. You can do better. What the 37% rule tells us is that the next best date you have is the keeper. They are the ones you should try to settle down with.
The Rules was a dating guide, a set of instructions on what to do and not do to catch a man. Above all, women were to be passive (Rule No. 2: "Don't Talk to a Man First") undemanding (Rule No. 17: "Let Him Take the Lead"), and above all happy and busy, breezy and lighthearted.
You can't feel a spark unless you give it time. So stop telling me there's no spark. Give it a chance – FOUR DATES is all I ask – and it will come. If, after four dates, you're still totally over it, then move on to the next guy.
The 80/20 relationship theory states that you can only get about 80% of your wants and needs from a healthy relationship, while the remaining 20% you need to provide for yourself. Sounds like the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a spa day.

"For one person that may be one date, but for someone else it may be one hundred dates, and that's okay as long as both parties consent."

1. Respect Each Other. The first rule to keeping a strong, romantic relationship is to treat your loved one with respect. You have to respect your partner's time, heart, character, and, of course, his or her trust.
Rule 20. We were all created in His image, and yet we were each created different and unique. No two people are alike. No hearts beat to the same rhythm.
11. Appreciate the good things in your partner: No matter how simple or routine the task may be, appreciate your partner and thank them for everything. It shows that you respect and value them, both of which are important for a long-lasting relationship.
Most women wait until date number five to move things into the bedroom. Forget the three date rule, the average single girl is not prepared to have sex with a new partner until the fifth date, new research has revealed.
The amount of dates you've been on doesn't necessarily define a relationship, just as the number of weeks or months you've been seeing each other doesn't necessarily define a relationship.

When you break this idea down mathematically, it goes something like this: You're going to like about 85% of the other person's personality, perspectives, characteristics, tendencies and behaviours. There will be about 15% of that person's ways of being that, if given your druthers, you would leave behind.
The next time you are “irked” by someone, instead of shooting off an emotionally charged text, give yourself 24 hours and then call them to talk through things in a calm, rational way. You will preserve your relationship and improve your verbal communication skills.
So when you see the number 4, 44, or 444, it's a sign you're on the right path and are heading in a positive direction with that partner. “Trusting inner instincts is the foundation of this number when involved in moving forward in the relationship,” Berry reminds.
