If you’ve often wanted a bit more equality in your own relationship, one place you can start is with cooking!
Seriously.
Recent studies have found that new, older couples opt to cohabitate and date rather than get married again. One reason? It helps them feel more independent in the relationship.
While we all lived through time periods that our mothers were expected to take care of the home, the world has changed.
Cooking doesn’t even have to be a chore; it can be an activity that you both enjoy doing together!
