Its official: Apple Music has arrived.
IPhone users and music enthusiasts alike woke up Tuesday morning to find Apple Music, the new online streaming music service, was available on iPhones. The service gives music listeners the opportunity to listen to artists, like Taylor Swift, not found on other streaming networks, like Spotify.
Apple Music can also help families have the perfect date night a time when songs can set the mood and make this important evening even more special.
A study published earlier this year from Indiana State University found spouses who enjoy date nights have longer marriages than those who dont, as I wrote back in March. Date nights are also known to keep relationships happier, too, the study said.
"Your identity as a spouse and as a couple often gets lost behind the routine chores and everyday tasks, relationship expert Aaron Anderson wrote in a blog post for Relationships Rx. You forget about things like talking as grown ups, flirting with each other ... so date night is an essential element to put into your routine as a couple because it allows you to focus on your relationship and on each other in adult ways."
And, as many of us know, music is an essential point to any date night. Theres the warm-up songs to get you ready for the night, the music you hear at dinner and the songs you listen to on your ride back home.
Heres a playlist of songs you can find on Apple Music that are perfect for your next date night.
