Reading is one of the most popular hobbies. It relaxes and educates us at the same time. It allows us to experience all kinds of adventures and learn a variety of interesting facts without leaving our comfortable armchair. Reading brings another advantage - namely, if we read together, with a partner, we do something else for our relationship. So why does reading together strengthen our partnership?
1. We are smarter.
There is no doubt that books are written by people who have an interesting experience behind them and want to share it with the world. So why not listen to their story and experiences? There are a variety of book genres - it's just a matter of finding our favorite style and enjoying it with our loved ones.
2. We are healthier.
It has been proven that people who like to read books are less prone to Alzheimer's disease. Reading affects our mental health because our brain cells are active during the reading process.
3. We are happier.
Books distract us from our daily routine, stress and tension. It is easier to forget problems if there is an interesting book waiting for us on the shelf. Let's read as many books as possible and if we do it together with our partner, we will feel happy and more carefree. So this is an effective and inexpensive way to reduce psychological stress.
4. We can discover new worlds.
Books are exciting. If we read the same book together, we will experience some of that excitement and beauty together. Couples who also spend time reading books together expand their knowledge horizons. This is a wonderful activity for both of you.

5. We can enjoy a balanced relationship.
A balanced relationship is the dream of every couple. Reading can help us turn these dreams into reality. Let's read a book together and we will always have something in common - we will discuss the book and exchange our views and opinions.
6. We can enjoy each other's company.
Books can take us to distant lands where we have never been before. Some of these places do not exist, while others can be found on the map. It's fun to discover what our partner thinks about the story when they read fiction. Abstract thinking is another great quality that is unique to humans. Let's talk about the people described in the books and try to understand together why the author thinks it is necessary to write about them.
7. We can rediscover ourselves.
Reading together can help us rediscover ourselves. We will see something we have never seen before. Discovering each other is essential for a healthy relationship - we need to know the person we've fallen in love with.
8. Our relationship can be even more intimate.
Literature is a positive phenomenon and gives people a sense of happiness. What do happy people usually feel in each other and in the world around them? Love. We will become even more intimate and feel good when we share our feelings and emotions. Books are inspiration and our charge with positive energy.
9. Our vocabulary will be healthier, richer.
Reading can help us improve our vocabulary. We will learn more words and express our feelings in a different way, using more words that will describe our thoughts and feelings even better. Communication is vital and becomes much easier when our vocabulary is richer.
