Singing in the shower with your partner ‘strengthens the bond and reduces the chance of divorce’
SINGING in the shower with your partner can wash away relationship worries, experts say.
The combination of soapy water and songs increases the release of a chemical in the brain that strengthens the bond between lovers.
And the study even found that it can reduce the risk of divorce and “deepen understanding and empathy within a relationship.”
The report says: “Singing songs with deep emotional content together in the shower can significantly deepen the emotional bond between partners.
“Music and singing naturally release dopamine – known as the ‘feel-good’ neurotransmitter in the brain.
“This chemical boost not only improves mood, but also improves feelings of happiness and satisfaction within the relationship, contributing to a more positive shared environment.”
It adds: “Singing has been scientifically shown to reduce stress levels by reducing cortisol in the body.
“Singing together in the shower offers a dual benefit: It acts as a stress-reducing activity that also promotes emotional connection, reducing potential triggers for marital discord.”
A spokesperson for bathroom company Plumbworld, which commissioned the research, claimed: ‘Singing songs together in the shower can increase happiness and make couples feel closer to each other.
“It shows how music and doing things together can improve our relationships. It’s a nice way to communicate more.”
