Cooking as Foreplay

According to a study of 1500 couples conducted by Impulse Research Corporation, nearly 83percent of respondents who said they “always” cook together (three to seven times per week) rated their relationship as excellent, compared with only 26 percent who said they rarely or never do. The heat reaches into the bedroom; 58 percent of couples who often cook together said they were satisfied with their sex lives, compared to 30 percent who dont. “Cooking enhances your relationship because it involves all your senses,” explains michelle Callahan, Ph. D., a psychologist and a relationship coach in Nw York city. Keep your love life sizzling; try to share chef duties at least twice a week. And see what a “yummy” couple you can be.
