Very well said CB! Call me “old fashioned” but I totally agree with Spiral. I just graduated from Law School and I plan on having a career… even after marriage. But just like how I expect him to be the main provider for the family - I do not see anything wrong with him expecting me to be the main person to look after the house. The way I view it is that it is a bonus that I help him out by earning a living. Just like it will be a bonus that he helps me out around the house. And just like how its a non-issue that I will definitely work… it is a non-issue that he will definitely help me out with my household tasks. But in regards to where the main responsibility lies… he is the main provider and I am the main person to look after the house. And I definitely do not think that means that he is wanting to make me his “maid”. Or that I consider myself a “maid”. 
I am probably going to have jootay thrown in my direction for saying this: but I think it is important for a wife to cook for her family after marriage (and again: GREAT if hubby wants to pitch in or even completely take over). And by “cooking” … that doesn’t necessary mean biryaani and keema type stuff every day. But even making a good batch of pasta requires some culinary skills. One does not have to cook extremely hard dishes every single day.. or even cook every day. But having the ability (and the desire) to whip something up (whether it is desi, italian, chinese, thai, american, etc.) is definitely good because it showcases the nurturing side of a woman. It is completely normal if a dad and husband expects these qualities of a girl post-marriage or if a girl possesses them. Nothing is wrong with anyone … no one is a “maid”.
