Couples who cook together stay together longer

Of course, you love your partner. Yes, really. But in daily life filled with work, groceries, kids' vomit and deadlines, that romantic love can sometimes take a backseat.

Not a big deal. It happens to the best of us. But you can do something to your relationship give it a little boost, and that is: cooking. Cooking together, mind you. According to researchers, 87 percent of couples say that cooking together is ‘one of the most important things’ they can do together.

Look, darling
Why is that so important in a relationship, according to experts? It requires communication. You do this, I do that. You bring this home, you that, oh look, how delicious. That idea. Suddenly, you're chatting about pinches of salt and sprigs of thyme and how long this and that should simmer. And how good it smells. You just spontaneously become a couple, and that's something you should want. If you want to stay with that one person for a lifetime, right? At least 78 percent of people say they also like to cook for their significant other as a sweet gesture. As a nice gesture. And it works: the majority of people say this is a key to love in a long relationship. Doing those little things for the other. Love is serving your partner a plate of pasta.

You're delicious
And should you never eat out again? Yes, but if possible, also together. Research shows that eating separately has a negative impact on the relationship. Really not a big deal, one night a week, you don't have to be glued to each other in life. Please not. But seven nights a week you eating with girlfriends and him with friends is also something. Just eat together occasionally and divide those tasks in the kitchen fairly. You'll see that you'll find each other nice and sweet.
