Let’s understand how routine activities like cooking for each other can help deepen bonds

A strong relationship is always built on mutual respect, trust, shared responsibilities, and the willingness to grow together. As such, partners cooking or looking out for each other is a positive sign. Sharing responsibilities or chores helps enhance relationships further, said Dr Santosh Bangar, senior consultant psychiatrist, Gleneagles Hospitals Parel Mumbai.

“Supporting each other by doing little things can create a sense of belonging and boost happiness. Even a little push or encouragement can boost your partner’s confidence and ease out any apprehensions,” said Dr Bangar.

Sharing or expressing thoughts, feelings, and concerns with your partner through such gestures can significantly lighten up mental load and reduce stress, the expert said.

“This approach could provide emotional support and stability as it shows comfort and understanding. It also allows couples to spend quality time and always have a safe space in each other, which can help create deep connections,” said Dr Bangar.
