It's your turn- If you try to alternate your cooking and your partner has covered the last few nights- the responsibility should fall to you. It's only fair to share the cooking if you both work- it shouldn't fall to one of you to do it all the time.
Get out those pots and pans and get cooking!
You can turn it into your date night- If you cook something really special- you can set the table, light some candles and pull out some bubbly to drink with the meal. Date night covered in style!
It's a kind thing to do- Throwing in an oven or microwave meal is sometimes all you have the energy to do. If you have the time and inclination- it shows that you want to do something special for your partner.
You know they'll love it-If you cook their favourite meal- you know they'll be happy for the rest of the evening. There's nothing like food to get in your partner's good books!
They'll remember it- Partners forget moments from their relationship all the time- it's when you each make that extra effort that really counts and sticks.
It shows you care- You have control over what's in you food so if you're trying to eat more healthfully, then you can monitor what you're putting into a dish. It shows you care about your partner's health and wellbeing.
You'll probably sit at the table- When you have gone to all the effort of cooking a meal from scratch, it's obligatory to eat it at the table- which will encourage some well needed conversation.
It means more than a gift- Gifts are a lovely gesture, but they take little effort to buy and give. A home cooked meal takes blood, sweat and tears to get it to the table and will mean more than something shop bought.
