She gets up while it is still night. She provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
Proverbs 31:15 NIV
One of the women that came for counselling told me how she almost lost her husband to a strange woman because she was not only a bad cook but also lazy to cook!
Her husband likes different types of soup/food instead of the regulars and does not like eating out. He had been complaining about his dear wife’s food with love and respect but she ignored it and always gave him excuses until her husband stopped eating at home. This issue almost destroyed their marriage.
Her husband started eating out so that he won’t bother his wife again. When the woman discovered that she was gradually loosing her dear husband, she adjusted and went straight to a catering school! Today, she is not only an irresistible cook but also a highly sought after caterer!
Her husband who had stopped eating at home for over five months, repented and started eating at home and the strange woman has been kicked out of their matrimonial home forever. No doubt, she is a wise woman
True, there are little things we overlook in marriage that matters a lot. If you don’t love cooking or you can’t cook as a sister, marriage is not the next thing but cooking training.
If you hate to cook as a single lady, there are so many single guys out there who don’t believe a wife should cook. Please find one and get married to him. You can’t hate cooking and be getting married to a man who wants a good cook.
It is not right if your husband and children still visit “mama put” regularly because you are a bad cook or you are too lazy to cook.
Single lady, if the only thing you can cook is white rice and noodles, you need urgent counselling. See me after service today! 😆. Go and learn how to prepare good food.
Lastly, sister, when you get married, please know that your kitchen is not a “prayer room”. It is where food is prepared/cooked. Be a great cook because beauty is not enough to turn an hungry husband to a smiling lover.
Yes, beauty fades but hunger doesn’t. Romance, love, cat-walking, good grammar, good grade or spirituality can not turn an empty big pot to correct Egusi, Ogbono or Vegetable soup with pounded yam even if you fast for seven days. Of course, speaking in tongues doesn’t turn raw rice to fried rice. Knowing how to cook good food is not a gift, it is a decision to learn. Any lady can become a good cook if she is willing to learn.
Note that a man you feed well is a man who cannot get fed up with you. When another woman begins to cook and feed your husband, be ready to lose him because one of the ways to a man’s heart is through good food whether you agree or not.
Be a great cook, wives. Men like good food. You can’t afford not to be a great cook. If you don’t know how to prepare good meals, learn from other women who cook better.
Ask your husband what he wants you to do better in your cooking. Don’t be shy to ask questions.
Cook his food promptly. Serve him in a special way. Treat him like a king. Always eat together.
Don’t allow your housemaid to cook your husband’s food, because a man falls in love with the hand that feeds him. (Proverbs 31:14-15).
Cook healthy, delicious and timely meal food for him. Serve your husband as your king.👩🍳👩💼 Special plates are for your husband, not for your pastor or visitors.
Don’t just cook his food alone, serve it specially. Don’t delegate it to someone else. Treat him like a VIP. Treat him like a special guest on the dining table.
As a wife, how good are you in the kitchen? Make sure you don’t fail in your kitchen ministry. 😊
Note: A man should also learn how to prepare good meals too as it is not solely the responsibility of a woman. Almost every woman will appreciate it if her husband prepares a wonderful meal for the family once in a while.
God bless your marriage.
