Never ceases to amaze me how few men either know how to cook, or admit to it. Men love to eat, you'd think much as they take pride in being able to fix their car or home themselves, that'd extend to the kitchen too. It's a wonder men during WWII didn't all die in the field with only k rations or whatever. By all accounts really gross stuff. But if none knew how to cook, how'd they survive?

Is cleaning a skill? I don't think so.

Just trying to respond honestly. A spouse is about love, not 'finding' a cook, a housekeeper, or an accountant.
Well that is a GIVEN ! I'm just saying of these 3 specific things, which would be most important or even preferential for your spouse to be excellent at? Of course we want to love, adore and be attracted to our mate!
You might as well add juggling, oil painting, or belching the Pledge of Allegiance. Nothing else matters but the big one.

What? If you are really not good in those three areas, then excel in that which you are and make him forget about them in some . . . way. Yeah?

I would love to cook if I had the following:
A very very large kitchen
Every ingredient and utensil available to me
Unlimited time (I like to work at a leisurely pace in all things....)

Why a very very large kitchen? Are you accident prone bumping into things?

I have a tiny kitchen, but I still love to cook, as everyone must know by now. Lol.

I want room to work.... I have a decent sized kitchen but I need a center island. We desperately need a kitchen rework. I also like to be very organized in my cooking..... and no time limit is critical. I HATE being under the gun.

I make do with my kitchenette.
It's not even a full sized kitchen. I have stuff stuffed everywhere though, so yeah, I can appreciate the more space idea.Delta4Embassy

My Mom's has an island. Find it gets in my way being very tall and accident prone bumping into things.

What I find annoying is that my dining area has carpet. Who in the hell thought it was a good idea to have carpet in your dining area anyway? What a stupid jackass idea! I would love to tear it up and put down some linoleum or tile, something easy to clean up spills and messes.
