Couples Who Eat Together, Stay Together

I totally agree!!! My husband and I have very different schedules, so we don't get to spend a lot of time together, but at least a couple of times a week we meet either for lunch or dinner. I say that food keeps us together!!!

Dinner is the part of my day i cant wait for , i love to cook for my husband , its are special time to our selfs , we love cheese and crackers with a bottle of wine , and it is so easy to clean up , so we can get back to whats importain most......US ..")

I love this one! I feel like this is where couples are laking these days. Especially about cooking at home also. There is something special and nurturing about cooking for the family.

We don't cook together but we do eat together all the time. Lunch and dinner. Great time to catch up and keep up!

This is a sweet post and great for Valentine's day, although I'm a few days late. My hubby, kids and I eat together every night. Its great a great time for conversation and bonding.

I try to eat with my husband as much as I can! He has a crazy schedule and he normally eats dinner very late.

Yes! ...and picking new recipes to try and grocery shop togther, especially exploring thr Farmer's Market... one meal makes for a lot of fun adventures and growth.

We always eat dinner together. Keeps us sane...

V-Day is our way date out but I've recently starting making meal plans each week. It's great because 1. saves money 2. we eat out less and 3. no more arguing over whose making dinner!

As long as everyone is home in my house, we always eat together. It is time for us to sit down and discuss our day and eat some good food along with it!

i'm the main cook in the house, but we almost always eat together, with the TV off too, so convo can happen.

i agree wholeheartedly! we try to eat dinner together every night with our children. it is nourishing to body and soul! if you are stuck for conversation, they have little boxes of conversation starter cards to get everyone talking that you can find...with boys this can be especially good. we want to have a close relationship for ourselves and our children for all our lives & i think every little way to foster this every day is so important.

I think cooking and eating as a couple is alot of fun. But, what makes it enriching is the talking/communicating, shared ideas, and discussion between the two. Of course, cooking and eating can be fun, but without any communication during this time, it becomes dull. I speak from experience. My husband doesn't like to talk when we have dinner together (just short brief responses to my initiated comments or questions) so there isn't really any bonding going on. But, I think that any activity a couple does together (dancing, walking, cooking, traveling, riding in a car, etc.) that involves quality discussion, sharing of ideas, etc. will bring two people closer together and is critical to making meaningful relationships last.

We do every night. It is a great chance to catch up and relax together.

Yes, eating together does strengthen the relationship. My boyfriend and I went to dinners and quick lunches on our busy days a couple times a week in the beginning of our relationship and continue today. Tuesday lunches became the norm as a special day for us to spend time together because during the weekday it's almost impossible to sit down and have relaxing "us time." It's romantic to me because we're always looking for somewhere new and have only been to the same place twice (just because it is SO good.) We bond over our palettes and often try new things. We share our foods and sometimes invite friends to join us. Meals in my relationship are a key point to success. It allows us one-on-one time and we both have decided during dinners to put away our smart phones and just focus on us. During the work week lunches that's a little harder to do but I highly recommend doing so in the evenings. Great post, thanks for sharing!
