It depends, if the wife doesn't have a job and stays home then yes she should be cleaning the house. Not necessarily cooking, but she should try to learn how if she can't. Same is true if the wife works and the husband stays home. If they both have a job then it's an even split for who does what at home
Hmm. Do you want to KEEP your man? Then learn to cook. Think of it as an attribute as exciting as having great abs. It's an asset.
All I am saying is, if I had to pick between two identical persons, with on being the better cook. I would pick the better cook.
Aim to be the best person you can.
Likewise for the men. I knooooow my girlfriend loves it when I cook for her. (actually I just enjoy cooking sometimes... And I am a better cook.. Don't tell her... Lol)
In a couple you are a team, it's nice when one has the qualities the other doesn't. It's not a matter of duty. It's teamwork.
No. Assuming that you are both adults and both have a basic understanding of arthmetic and literacy, you both should be able to follow the steps in a standard cookbook... You don't even really have to know how to cook, make recipes, or figure out techniques these days. All of this information is readily accesible and at your fingertips. In my opinion, there is no such thing as: "I can't cook" anymore... If you live together, someone is going to have to cook at some point.
I don't think it should matter if you know how to cook or not to your boyfriend / lover but, it does come in handy if not for him do it for yourself. I went on vacation to visit family & didn't know how to cook so it was a struggle in the early mornings bc I get up early compared to them so I learned how to make a couple basic breakfast meals.
Well every girl I've dated in the past twn years couldn't cook all that well. I had to cook for us every night. I do love cooking, but is it fair that women can't cook and men have to? I think neither of the extremes is fair. So I think both the man and woman should cook, and take turns.
To me it doesn't really matter if you would cook or not. Let's be honest here, it is fairly old school belief that the woman stays in the kitchen and the man does everything else. There are men like me who does all the things like cooking, washing, cleaning etc. while being single so demanding typical housewife is meaningless. Depends of the type of guy you have, one might be self-supportive and the other raised and praised by mommy so unable to do things by himself.
I think both should cook and both should clean a real relationship is teamwork and real teamwork isn't only about each other's strengths but weakness as well. If one doesn't cook well or clean well then work together on it because when one person carries everything that person grows to resent the other and that's the kiss of death in a relationship.
Yes. But so should a husband. I'm not expecting her to be the best cook in the world (unless she went to the greatest gourmet cooking school in the world and graduated with honors). But she should at least cook a decent meal - safe to eat. If I don't like her cooking, I can always cook myself for the both of us (and the family, if we had one).
Yeah... if you can't cook you can always learn how to cook ! I'm not saying because you're female you should be forced into the roll, though. I just feel like cooking and household chores are things that a person can improve upon, given the effort. Maybe you're inherently bad at those things, but sweeping floors and making empanadas aren't really THAT difficult. Just make sure that he gets his ass in there and holds the dustpan for you, or crimps the empanadas closed ! Lol
I believe the level of responsibility should be equal, but if my wife can't cook well or do housework that isn't equal because then i have to do it all.
What else can you provide to society? You don’t work on an oil rig, as a mechanic, a miner, steel worker, etc. So only soft jobs left. Cooking is hard for women. I know. If you can do it well, your guy will always love you :)
Both genders should be able to know how to cook , it's basic survival skills. What if a woman or a guy was single would they order take out everyday? No , they should learn how to cook and it's not hard tbh just follow the recipes
Well if you asking just for the case of cooking, ask yourself if you like to eat good things. If it is not so important for you, you probably won't need to cook. But however some small things both gender should be able to do in kitchen.
As much as marriage is about love, it's also a partnership and sharing of different responsibilities..
If you find cooking and taking care of house chores a.. Chore.. Then try to compensate elsewhere like pitching in paying bills and other ends that you both need to meet
Cooking is a sort of house keeping and survival skill. Everyone, incl. men of course should be able to handle the basics, and it is not rocket science. To cook well is an individual talent.

That's a very outdated mindset. I think now a days most people work. So both partners should be helping with the cooking.
Unfortunately it seems to be that there are some people who expect the woman should be at home and cook, even though she also works full time.
I don't know too many women who don't work outside the home anymore.
I can see if she stayed home, but that's just not he majority anymore. Both people should be able to cook and mind the home.

Nope... most chifes are male so that's a good indication that guys are better cook than girls
Unlike me my wife couldn't cook at all so I'm the one mostly cook our meals at the beginning of our marriage
She then started to learn on her own... but I'm still better lol
Yes. But so should a husband. I'm not expecting her to be the best cook in the world (unless she went to the greatest gourmet cooking school in the world and graduated with honors).

Ha ha ha, anyone who can't cook is forever a child.
Has nothing to do with being a man or a woman, not knowing how to cook is like not knowing how to tie your shoes, lol.
Both genders should be able to know how to cook , it's basic survival skills. What if a woman or a guy was single would they order take out everyday? No , they should learn how to cook and it's not hard tbh just follow the recipes
All adults need to know how to cook. It's not woman's work. It's not woman's duty.
Then when people couple, they should work out some equal divisions of labor.
Well if you asking just for the case of cooking, ask yourself if you like to eat good things. If it is not so important for you, you probably won't need to cook. But however some small things both gender should be able to do in kitchen.

I am a pretty good cook myself, so if she is also, it's a plus, but it's not that big a deal. Other things are much more important.
