Hi, I'm not married yet, but i wonder the things about this, is it ok if your wife can't cook a food for you? I mean she can't cook at all ... for some reason i know several man wants their futures wife or their recent wife can cook for them, for the family, childs, etc, its one advantage for the family, so you didn't have to spend a lot of money eating at resto, bistro, etc, and how about you, is it ok for you?

Well im speaking for my hubby here. yes its ok..lol. If not we wouldnt be having our tenth anniversary this coming December. I cook a dish or two but for the most part, he cooks or we eat out. If anyone lets that affect their marriage, they need to reexamine why they got married in the first place..lol. I realize the money factor of eating out, but if the woman cant cook the man needs to make sure he can and he wont have to be worried about eating out all the time..

I think it will be a problem with me. Frankly speak that I will very upset with my wife if she can't cook anything. But if she can cook a food but not to delicious, I can accept it, because cooking is not so simple and need attention to learn it. Every people has the different skill to cook. Not only that, I hope my wife can do a household work too.

ohh men that's a hard stuff.. here in philippines women should know how to cook in there young age to be prepared in there marriage life.. I think womens life could not be complete if you don'y know how to cook. maybe your wife have to go to cooking school, or better get a cook.. man also household work she can't do those things? maybe your wife is rich when she's young.

The wife should know how to cook. Not necessarily knowing all the kinds of recipes but at least she should be knowledgeable in cooking to satisfy the stomach of her children. In my own opinion that is one characteristic of a good mother. Yes when a woman was single, she could be totally ignorant of cooking but when she gets married she should pursue all means to educate herself about cooking and how to acquire this skill. The easiest way to a man's heart is through his stomach and I believe even to the heart of my children.

When I was in my primary school till the last day of my singlehood, I would go home every noon time excited about what food my mom prepared for me. I'm happy that my Mom is responsible enough to assure that there was always a hearthy meal prepared in the table as I arrive. And do you know that the aroma of the food being cooked by my mother is always a delight to me. That is one of the reasons I would always rush home each day. My mother cooks so well and this made me love her even more.

Personally, for me. it doesn't matter. My wife actually can't cook (well, she can but far worse than my mother) but no problem for me. Although, she can't cook well but at least I see that she is trying to serve her family by preparing some meals. I really appreciate that and never force or demand her to cook for our family. Sometimes, when she doesn't have time to cook than I cook. I might be too subjective but I think I am better than her :)

I ate it until finish. Hey, she has spent her time to prepare it at least I have to respect her by finshing it :) Anyway, I just tell her honestly what I think is wrong with the food so in the future she can prepare it better. So far, there's no problem by telling her honestly.

i am smilling on this , i am married & my wife also cant cook food for me ,she is a teacher& go out for service for 6 hour daily ,still she has much time to cook food but she can not,some time she try but cant cook good, yes i want also like everybody that my wife cook good food for me, but realy she cant cook.yes it is not ok for me , but still it is ok for me, because i am talking about my wife. she is not only my wife, she is a part of my life & i have to spent my whole life with her , no matter that she cant cook food for me & my family. because once when u get married then u see that because of your love your wife becomes a part of your life and then no matter that what can she do for u or not, only u have to do for your family & your wife ,because u love them. because i love my wife so if she cant cook food for me then it is ok for me , and according to me every body wants that their wife cook food for them but if she cant ,it is ok for them also

hi maxilimian well here in the u nited states both men and women learn to cook and do housework, we women are no longer just married for our slave potential, we expect our husbands 'to help out whenever necessary. Most of us do learn to cook long before we get married but our husbands do not look on us as marrying a convenient household slave for freee.It is okay for me to cook but when my husband was alive he did as much cooking as I did and he never treated me as a free servant by marriage. I dislike the tones of what you are implying that in your country men marry women just to have an unpaid servant.

I think that as long as one person in the relationship can cook then everything is fine, since eating out is soo expensive. It does not matter to me whether it is the man or the woman who cooks as long as it can be done. It is much better if both people can cook a few different dishes each and then it makes that it is not down to one person and then it is not seen as a choir.

My daughter in law is and alright cook, my son is far superior in that and now does most of the cooking.I taught him how to cook. Both my husband and I are good cooks as are his Mother and Father. No one person should be responsible for meals unless they chose to do so. I think it is wrong to decide because a woman is married only she should cook....nonsense is the 200 years ago?

I don't know how to cook. I'm not really a kitchen person. But if I were to get married or at least live with my boyfriend, I would learn how to cook. I know my boyfriend sometimes misses breakfast because he has to hurry for work. When I learned about this, I just wished I were with him so I could make sure he gets breakfast everyday before he leaves for work.

I am a woman and got married,and I could cook but I couldn't cook very well.If i was a man,my wife couldn't cook a food for me,I won't care.We can buy some food and dishes.If I have time,I can cook a food for her,for the family,child.That is to say,it doesn't matter if my wife can't cook.She must be expert on other hands.

Hi folks and especially 2 maxi.I dont bother whether she can cook food for me or not as I think I am good at it. The only thing I would expect from her is she loves me nothing more than that.I am prepared to take over the task but I would expect she helps me in other areas and be always by my side in every walk of life.For me wife means a 50:50 partner of life, in fun, in spendings, in shopping, in enjoying, and in every aspect of life.I would be least bothered to spend for her lavishly whether that be any kind of bill.I only expect from her is love,love, love............................and Love.Thanks alot.

For me, Its not. Getting a man's heart is through his stomach. It really helps if a wife can cook especially delicious. It can tight a relationship tough eating together or sharing meals together. Now, there's no excuse for not knowledgeable in terms of cooking. There are lots of cookbook that is easy to understand and to make. There are T.V shows that gives tutorials on cooking. So there are no excuse of knowing nothing in terms of cooking but if she really likes cooking its her problem anymore. But the best thing, wife should know how to cook for his husband.
