Kitchen Counter Activities for Couples

Your kitchen counter can work as more than a place to prepare meals. Stand next to your partner there and try these eight activities. They use things you already have at home like food from the fridge or towels. You do not need much time or money. Wipe the surface first and make space. These ideas range from light games to closer contact. Check with your partner before you start each one. The counter height makes it comfortable to face each other or lean in.
