Wife Skill 2 : Cooking



It's been said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and I've yet to find a man who disagrees with that phrase. The preparation, thought, and effort put into a tasty meal can be the most satisfying experience for a husband both physically and emotionally, as well as a rewarding experience for the wife. It all boils down to the fact men like to eat a lot, so it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you are a good cook your man will want to eat dinner with you.


Preparing a home cooked meal provides the opportunity to:


  1. Nurture your husband's appetite
  2. Engage in conversation
  3. Show you have been paying attention to his likes and dis-likes
  4. Show your gratitude for him and all he does for you

  5. Get your husband involved in creating something together other than babies

Returning from work to a home cooked meal is comforting, as well as pleasant change of pace from the order-in take-out most Americans have grown accustomed to. Not only are fast foods incredibly unhealthy and reason enough to cook at home, the quality time missed with your boo while he's stuffing Taco Bell down his throat is just a shame. "Putting a little time in the kitchen goes a long way in the romance department," said Michele, my newly wedded best friend from childhood. "Believe it or not, cooking at home can actually be cheaper than hitting three drive-thrus a day for a week. And if he likes to cook its a great way to bond and have fun too. Because of my husband's schedule we don't get to spend as much time together as we'd like. Cooking together is one way we make up for that time," Michele added.





Many wives have exclaimed "What an order, I can't go through with it," but don't be discouraged. There are plenty of simple recipes that even a third grader can follow and not screw up. Keep in mind that men are simple creatures, so don't over complicate the recipes by adding zesty herbs you've never used before. Below is a link to my favorite recipe for roasted chicken, a real husband and crowd pleaser. If I could do it, so can you!
