Good Wife = Good Cook

Lifestyle Relationships

How many men believe that cooking plays a big role in marriage?

How important is it for the girl to know how to cook before marriage, even better, be a good cook?

Everyone loves good food so please don’t come in here saying you don’t want to be fed under/over cooked food by your wife - no one does. But if she can’t cook, then what? Will it change anything between the two of you?

If neither can cook then hopefully they have well paying jobs cz they'll be eating out ALOT.

Well, of course as a wifey, she’d want to cook for her husband - so I’m sure she’ll learn slowly but surely.

But her lack of cooking-skills, would it make her less cool in her hubby’s eyes? :bummer:

^ as long as she's trying and iwlling to learn, i dont see why he should (unless he's a jerk). now if on the other hand she just doesn't care...thats a diff story.

Re: Good Wife = Good Cook

Cooking gets better over time. I don't think being a good cook is the be all/end all of what makes a woman a good wife. And taste is subjective, SU. Haven't you seen people rave about a dish that you thought was absolutely bland? And you may be better at making some dishes as opposed to others. For example, I find cooking easier whereas my sister prefers baking. I've seen some women serve rock hard kababs and tasteless salans and they have been married for years and AH are still married:) And a good husband would appreciate his wife's sincere efforts ;-)

NaMaan, we’re discussing cooking and food here, because that’s an area I lack in.

Don’t worry about my hygiene habbits - things are well under control there. :halo:

Re: Good Wife = Good Cook

Nope dunt matter .. cos it i ll give me chance to treat her .. since i can cook myself ... you give some ..you take some .. it aint a one way stree where she HAS to do everything .. and al you do is enjoy .. but rather its a two way street ..

this was my opinion ..before marraige ..now that i am married .. Alhamdolillah .. we both cook ..when ever we feel like it .. if she dunt want to she ll just tell me .. and i cook and she helps out ..

So married life isnt just really the physical ..a Mock test .. its something greater .. where your minds are alike ..your feelings known through actions ..and when actions turn in to love ..

:D

Yes, they're still married but are they happy? Do they wish their wives were better cooks?

Re: Good Wife = Good Cook

Well than just buy him some cook books ... or find someone who already knows how to cook. :D

kuch nahi hoga! dont worry... i didn't learn to cook until 18 months after my wedding (long story).. so dont worry. ull be fine!

haww tumhari kab shadi hui!! mubarak ho!

im sure after all these years, all men wish something about their wives... as do the wives. :D

kab ki ... 6 months+ ko .. aur khair Mubarak :)

Yes, they're still happy MashaAllah. I know them pretty well.

Does wishing your spouse were a better cook necessarily mean that he is unhappy with the marriage? No. It doesn't. Nobody is perfect. You might wish that your husband were more helpful around the hosue.....but that is not going to be your sole reason for labeling the marriage and "unhappy" one.

You might think your cooking is bad, but he might like it for all you know. And what if your other qualities (such as being straight up, for example) make up for the lack of culinary perfection.

"The way through a man's heart is through his stomach." It's a quotation and most quotations word things in a MUST BE LIKE THIS/DEFINITE way. Like all other quotations, it doesn't always hold true. If a guy marries you, he obviously considered more than just the cooking before saying, "I do."

Re: Good Wife = Good Cook

RV, thank you girl.

The thing is, this never used to bother me before - I seriously couldn’t care less about not being able to cook edible stuff. But recently, a few of my friends have gotten married and usually the post-wedding meet is all about cooking and its importance.

Over time, I’m just getting sick of the importance that’s placed on cooking. One of my friends went as far as to say cooking is the way to win your in-laws’ hearts. Well then, isn’t that just great, I thought. :rolleyes:
