Avoid These 8 Foods on Your First Date to Ensure a Lasting Marriage

Relationship experts agree that the secret to a long-lasting relationship is open and honest communication. But a 2021 survey conducted by a UK-based e-commerce site showed that the food a couple eat on their first date might determine whether or not their relationship ends up in divorce-land.

Based on this study, Bright Side has made a list of the types of cuisine you should steer clear of on your first encounter with a potential partner. Flip the card to find out the divorce rate and average marriage length resulting from each type of food!

1. Bar food

2. Caribbean food

3. Japanese food

4. Portuguese food

According to the same study, Italian, French, and Mediterranean cuisines proved to be the safest bets for a first date meal in ensuring a long-lasting marriage!

But of course, as this study was not conducted by a scientific institution per se, it’s better to take it with a pinch of salt. Ultimately, what matters more than the actual food is how the couple enjoys each other’s company on a first date. Have thoughts on this study? Share them with us in the comments!
