Nobody likes their partner coming home grumpy after work. Luckily, it can be easy to cheer up your loved one with a surprise dinner. Especially if you have neuroscience backing you up!
Of course, when talking about surprises, we’re not talking about jumping behind the corner but a nice dinner. Here are 3 tips to make the dinner really count.
1. Instantly Fix Partner’s Mood With Music
If your partner comes home grumpy, it means they are in a bad mood by default. Luckily, music can instantly lift up our spirit and supposedly increase libido as well. Just so you should know.
So, we recommend plugging in some old-school piano jazz like Billie Holiday or Duke Ellington. Even better, music streaming services already have quality romantic playlists ready to go.
2. Wine - The Key to a Long Relationship
After setting up the music, it’s time for wine. “Why” you ask? Well, according to a study, couples who enjoy a nice glass of wine have a higher chance for a long and happy relationship.
Naturally, don’t force wine down your partner’s throat if they don’t like it (not romantic). You can switch it up with a different drink, but if it’s wine, you can quickly find quality bottles using apps.
3. Prepare a Meal That Spurs a Happy Memory
You know it isn’t dinner without food, but don’t just make any food. Instead, play smart and prepare a specific meal you both have a fond memory of.
This way, you’re practically hacking your partner’s brain by releasing a river of happy hormones. In case you need a helping hand, you can quickly find the right recipe with apps like Yummly.
A romantic dinner always works, but why not make it even better? With some extremely basic knowledge of neuroscience, you can quickly hack your way to a romantic dinner.
And don’t worry, we won’t tell your partner. We also won’t tell them you might have used one of the Best 10 Apps for Dinner Recipes to make that delicious meal. We promise.
