"My wife must be a good cook"

"The way to a man's heart is through the stomach"

Where is it written that a woman should be the cook and the man the judge on which food is good and not? Wait i'm not siding the womenfolk am just trying to put up a line of reasoning.

Lets imagine this scenario, the woman closes work by 5pm, so does the man, the woman goes to the market which is out of her route home and buys foodstuff, getting out by 6pm, bustling through the traffic jam, she finally gets home by 7pm spending a long hour in the traffic jam, she spends another hour rushing to finish cooking early so that the guy, already watching DSTV eats on time, she finishes by 8pm, the husband blames her for cooking late and touches the food a lil before giving her the remainder.

Is there a written rule that women should be automatically cooks? I see girls laughing at their mates that can't cook as they do, why is cooking a criterion for girls who are about to marry? Why is it not also a criteria for the guys too? A lady should cook for her husband when she's not stressed up, and a guy should do the same when he's not stressed up too, when both are stressed up then they should eat out, or order in, nothing wrong with that, or better still, a cook should be employed, its the job of a cook to cook, not the job of a wife. The wife is a help meet, not a slave.

She helps supplement the family income, she helps wash your cloth, clean your room, go to the market, cooks the food and serve you, abeg... Does that role sound familiar, yeah it does... That of a slave and maid.

Am not even going to talk about those men that don't have a job that expect their wives to do all these for them, they stay home in the morning, sleep in the afternoon, or chase after their extra marital affairs (with the wife's money) in the afternoon, go and drink with his friends in the evening and expect to be served dinner in grand style at night.

I no get their time

It is high time our guys stopped drinking this Orijin beer. It is not good for their brain at all.

@OP. A wife is the manager of the home, under the oversight of her husband. The primary role of a wife revolves around the daily care of children, meal preparation and keeping the house clean and in order. The example you gave above is nonsense, if both of them close at same time then they should go and look for a wife. I am not saying that a wife should not take a job, she is free to take on additional roles and responsibilities by getting a job. But such a job is optional, whereas for the husband, it is mandatory. Her optional choice to take on a job does not suddenly obligate the husband to take on part of the wife's role of child care or keeping house. Thou all these things does not matter where there is love and understanding, a man may chose to help but it is not mandatory.

Some women actually enjoy cooking; satisfaction from your husband eating your food.
I don't really get your point..

Nimen:
