Help! Am I a slave?
I enjoy cooking for my family but sometimes especially after a long day at work, I don’t just feel like cooking and I’d rather want to relax! On some of those days, heaven smiles on me. Seeing a sumptuous meal made for me by my darling husband, my heart rejoices and blesses him. I get to save my energy for the ‘other room’ #

Gone are the days where the only responsibility of women was to stay at home, clean the house, cook, do the laundry, take care of the kids and their husbands. Sometimes, in some families, the economic situation demands that the woman also works. So many women are working full time like their husband counterpart but are still saddled with the above mentioned responsibilities and perhaps even more while their husbands on the other hand hardly lift a finger – to assist with or do some of the house chores or even lend a hand in the kitchen! This should not be so.
Dear men, one major need of your wife is affection! Showing affection is not expensive at all, it only requires you carrying out very thoughtful actions to let her know how much you love her. There are many ways you can show your wife affection but I will like to focus on being handy in the kitchen! Yes, food is needed daily and has to be prepared. Please, do not abandon your wonderful wife in this department. She needs your help more than you can imagine.
Some men give the excuse that they don’t know how to cook (YouTube and Google are your friends, make good use of them 
). You can also assist her in getting the dishes ready, in cleaning up after cooking, in keeping her company by gisting and flirting with her in the kitchen while she cooks rather than sit in the living room waiting for your food to be ready. This woman also went to work remember? She is as tired as you if not more! See, some nights, you can tell her not to bother making dinner and you take her out for dinner instead! She would love it! You can even go the extra mile if you get home before her to make the meal. See, even the best of us who love to do all of these things without complaining appreciate any assistance in this area especially from our husbands. It is so romantic! Don’t wait for her to ask for help.
Many wives expect their husbands to know they need help and get upset with them for not realizing this. So, dear husbands, on behalf of all wives, please help with house chores
What about with taking care of the kids? Who says a man cannot change diapers? Bathe the kids when he can to ease the woman’s responsibilities? Feed them, rock them to sleep, help the older kids with their homework etc. Bless my husband! I will cherish him all my days! Marriage is a partnership where you give your all (100%:100% not 50%:50%).
Shout out to all the amazing men out there who are so domesticated and pour all their affection on their women. You will not lose your reward. To all the men who are willing to change, your wives will be so grateful. In fact, this affectionate act will bring out the best in her. She would go all the way to also make you happy!
To the single men who are looking forward to getting married so as to be served and not serve, you are not ready for marriage yet. This is a wrong reason to get married.
To all the parents out there, please train your male children to be very useful in the kitchen and other house chores. Their wives and children will bless you for it.
Thanks for reading. I’d love to hear from you. Kindly leave a comment and share this post.
God bless you.
