Hello cinguo and welcome to myLot. I hope you enjoy the time you spend here. In my opinion Men need to be able to cook and help keep the home as well as the wife. One never knows when the woman will need to be out of the home. In my opinion God made us equal and neither should have to do it all these days. Men can learn to cook as well as any woman. Women have stepped out into the working world like they never have before.

I like what you say,I agree.I cooking from many times and I like to make this because I am vegetarian.Sometimes when my wife have a problem by health or is more busy to prepare for professional work I make more other things.But we share many problems of family management.And so is very good.God help all family because HE blessed but we must to will!

I think that in a marriage both husband and wife should try to help each other doing the best they can. I don´t think that the roles includes who cooks and who doesn´t so it is not a matter of what is fair. To put it that way sounds agresive and neither one should feel that way. In my brother´s house, my brother always washes the dishes, even when there´s company. I never trusted my husband with the dishwashing but never drove the car when we went anywhere. He just drove better and I washed better the dishes.

Marriage is a covenant and partnership. No party enters a marriage marrying a slave. So both parties must make the marriage work. Do the things that you are good at. If you are better than your wife at cooking, why not cook for her? And it is called housework, not wifework. So be kind to your lady.

I agree with your viewpoint. In fact, my wife takes about an hour on the road to work everyday, but for me, I take only ten minutes on the road to my company. So my wife is wearier than me. Everyday, before her go home, I do prepare all food. I feel very happy for my wife.

I think a husband should try his best to do well both his work and the housework.In fact the housework is very onerous,the husband never helps his wife with it,it's rather unfair.A couple helps each other means loving each other,that way the family can last long.Have fun,my friend!

I don't think any role comes with your gender.
if one of you works, then it's fair that the other does the bulk of the work in the home. whichever one of you it is. when I go to work, my husband cleans the house and cooks me dinner.
as I only work part time, the rest of the days, we both look after our home.
I do most of the cooking, as I enjoy cooking. as a result he does most of the washing up. if it's an unispiring meal we're having, like a ready meal or something mostly from a jar, he tends to do it. I like involved cooking.
I do also think it's really sad to see the many couples where the wifes working day doesn't end.
in the morning they both get up, he goes off to work outside of the house, she does the housework. this is fine if this is what they want. but then he gets home from work, and her working day is still not done. she cooks for him, cleans afterwards. when does she get to relax at the end of her working day? some so called husbands won't even fetch themself a drink when they want one, thinking it's HER job to wait on him hand and foot. this is not a marriage, this is a boss and a house servant.
surely in such a situation, his work is out of the home, her work is in the home, and in the evening tasks should be evenly shared so both can relax after a days work.
both should take care of the home and meals. workload should be shared evenly, bearing in mind the preference and aptitude each has for different tasks, and considering work outside of the home in the balance too.

I think housework should be shared 50/50...as for ccooking-some people are just not good cooks and some men really, really hate being "stuck" in the kitchen. That can work to your advantage, though. When it's "his" night to cook, if he hates actually cooking, you could score dinner out or at least a pizza-LOL! Spending time in the kitchen preparing meals is a great way to learn new things together and a great opportunity to spend time together too. I think every man should at least be willing to try at least helping with meal preparation. You might discover that you really like it-and you might find a new thing to enjoy with your mate.

I have been married a year now,and my husband help me out a lot when he is not working.He do the cooking sometimes and he even help me out in the house as well.
He if am doing some else in the house he will join hands an help out an the work finish quick.
We don't have a big house but their is work to do,He love to fold clothes so every time i wash he do the folding the clothes.
Husband must help out the wife especially, if their is a lot of kids.My Husband works and he still fine time to help me out.

I believe in taking turns and helping on another with the chores inside and outside the house. Both the husband and the wife should cook dinner every week and more than once and i also feel they should help clean, do the dishes and then clean again because there is so much cleaning to always do and i feel the girls in the house are always the ones that end up sweeping, dusting, cleaning the windows, doing the laundry, mopping the floor and the guys should pitch in and help with this i believe because it takes a while to do this.

Some household chores could be shared by the husband and wife. Cooking for instance, could be done by the husband if he knew how, when the wife cannot do it.
That way, they become closer, because they have a give and take relationship.

Yes, I think it is only fair that husbands too help with cooking! Gone are the days when husbands used to be sole bread earners. They used to go out to earn money for the family and therefore the wife was left in charge of home and hearth, but now she too is working out the same number of hours as the husband and in many cases, she is working at equally taxing and tiring jobs as her husbands. SO its just not fair that she alone should do cooking after coming home hungry and tired same like her husband.
Thankfully, husbands too have changed attitudes and I see many men taking a good deal of interest in cooking and helping their wives around the house.

Hi there, my husband would do every household chore available. We are partners in everything, so we also divide household chores between the two of us. Though he isnt really good when it comes to cooking, he makes it a point to cook something "edible" for us to eat when I am busy or away. lol.
