Cook dinner together
+80 XP+35 gems
Why this matters
Why bother?
Shared low-stakes activities are where relationships actually deepen. Talking while cooking removes the eye-contact pressure of "let's talk."
How often
Weekly is enough to keep the habit alive.
Best time: Weekend when you're not racing the clock.
Pro tip
Pick recipes neither of you have made. Mild novelty bonds people.
Common mistake
One person does everything while the other 'helps' on their phone.
What happens if you skip
Kitchen becomes a transaction zone instead of a hangout.
