It is necessary,not compulsory....

How can it be necessary but not compulsory... I don't understand

My parents do that a lot, especially dinner. Its really nice watching them eat together.

When they fight, they eat dinner together with swollen/squeezed faces.

Spouses taking dinner together is a common act in a lot of families so much so that the wife will wait for the husband if he comes back very late in the day.

Is it a must spouses take dinner together?

Kindly share your thought.

This was the family norm back in the days when we were growing up.
Everybody is usually at home even from 6pm or even 5pm sometimes.
It's been eroded these days because of drastic change in work schedules, you don't expect a wife to wait till 11pm for the husband to join at dinner.

To be honest eating together has bcome part of us dat the food always taste sour when we eat seperate

When he's around we eat together,but to wait till hez back thats wat i cannot do.its nt necessary we eat together.though he likes it so much.

Eating together with hubby has helped resolve lots of dispute between us since we can't help but talk to each during meals. We just find out that we can't sustain any misunderstanding for long.
If I am damned hungry before he comes back from work, I eat in his absence, but will always be around to chat him up while he eats.

Anything that spices up your marriage is worth doing. I think eating together is working for me.

I agree with you.

Wendy80:
My hubby will say hungry neva catch that spouse

Your husband must be funny

Necessary but not compulsory.


It just for that togetherness and also enable them bond .sometimes discuss issues.

Too much nollywood


Why do we always assume men must come home LATE? Na all these id.iotic ideologies dey make even the idle ones stay out drinking, gisting about Merci & Wizkid just to come home late.

Except there is really a mind-blowing incentive attached to staying out at night, I don't think I'd ever pray for a job that will keep me out till 10pm/11pm. Let's not forget that less than 10% of married naija men live in Lagos, so traffic is not an excuse.


Now to the Topic: eating together is a lovely thing to do. Starving yourself because hubby or wifey isn't around is wholesome (at least you can lose some weight and get thin).

its not a must but is good, it bound the family together esp the couple. my wife does that a lot, if she cant wait for me, she eats a little. she always makes sure she eats from mine when i come back. but its romantic and nice.

The wife must have dish some food for herself to and eat,afterwards,she will wait for her hubby in round two.

you must be a lecturer in Nigeria lol:-)

No it isn't a must. . . I rarely eat with my husband because he is #team# "I am waiting for the food to get cold before I eat...while I want to eat my food while it's very hot.

norm for me and my wife but last night was so angry and hungry because she cam bck late and didnt want to break dat chain.bt i realy dnt tink i wnt to continue like dat because its not her fault she cam back late and i cnt continue starving waiting for her

Suppertime is supposed to be family time,you take time to enquire about the day's events,share jokes in a relaxed mood. But work constraints in today's environment could sort of limit this. Its however encouraged (if time permits o) @ least 1ce a week

Its not neccessary but its good.

bukatyne:


Late dinner is not advised (getting fat things)

However, it is ideal for spouses to wait for one another (if they can)

The wife can eat early and prepare little fruit salad for when the hubby comes

She watches and catches up with him while eating and they eat the fruit salad together

That way, they eat together


Same thing if the wife is the one coming late.

Nyc 1,.......But dis ur DP.... Can send sum1 stealing

Necessary... Not a must tho

Growing up, my parents used to insist we dish their food together in one flask so they ate breakfast and dinner together. I guess that was because of the nature of their jobs, Dad was self-employed and Mum did not always have to leave very early for work. Also, she returned home before 7pm most days so they could eat dinner together. Besides we lived in the South-East where one did not have to contend with traffic and a busy schedule. I lost my Dad last year and up til now, Mum has problems eating alone.

Fast-forward to my marriage. Hubby and I used to eat together when we just got married, pro'lly because he came home early enough. Now he has a more demanding job and can come late as late as 9pm plus we live in Lagos. I get home on or before 6pm and I eat within an hour of getting home because there are too many disadvantages of eating late. Even those days when he does happen to get home before 7pm, I may be busy attending to our child or doing chores, and may not have eaten. So I just serve him his dinner and eat mine whenever I'm ready.

However, we try to eat together whenever we can, like weekends or when we both happen to be hungry at the same time. Abeg nothing is cast in stone johr, whatever works for you is fine. Maybe when our kids grow older, we will be able to eat together all the time, once more.
