it has been now a year since fell in love with this charming, beautiful young lady whom i loved so much. she has been living with her parents since we started dating and last month we decided to move in together as we prepare for marriage. well the issue is though this lady is good looking she doesn't know how to cook and to make matters worse she do not want to learn and in our culture that a woman should cook for her husband. so asked me to help him out on what to do with the woman, should he damp her or continue living with her and eat from the restaurant. what should i advise him?

Don't pressure her to cook my friend, maybe she does not find cooking very interesting. You have to make her see the beauty of cooking and what its good benefit. If she learns cooking its not because you want it, but because she wants to learn it. Keep cooking and make her inspired by cooking good foods and share it with her, I'm sure the time will come that she will the one to ask you to teach her how to cook..

Well, you must tell her that not all the time you are available. You can't always cook for her always, you may get busy or got sick. I feel that she just need a little push for her to go and study cooking.

It could be a shallow reason to just leave a woman who doesn't know how to cook. I think she needs to learn how to cool for practical reasons. As for the guy, he should not be upset if her girl doesn't know how to cook. He very well know that the girl has been really "sheltered" by her parents and it would take time before she does learn how to do it. He should let her realize the practicality of the whole thing. He should help her start to do it.

Hi! This sure will be a major dilemma for you. A wife should cook for her husband because it's a way of showing her love. If she really loves you, she'll learn to cook no matter how hard the lessons. She'll always want to impress you. There are some people you just can;t tell to change overnight, but who knows, if you talk it over with her, she might change her mind. A small problem like that could get bigger as time goes by, so best solve this now. If you really love her, you can find a way, I'm sure. Good luck!

Talk to her she will definitely understand if she want to be with you. Solve it now itself as the things may get worse as the time passes

Well you should live with her if she loves you. And both of you should support each other. Don't force her to cook everyday. Both of you should share the work.

I don't know how to cook too but still okay with my boyfriend. He do the cooking most of the time but I help him in the kitchen . I wanted to learn how to cook it's a wife's thing. She must enroll in some cooking school or just read a recipe. What she wanted to do then if she don't want to cook for her husband...
