It depends on the relationship. Some couples make enough money and eat out every night. Some couples learn to cook together and cook dinner every night together. Some couples have traditional roles where the woman has dinner waiting on the table when the man comes home.
It just depends on what kind of relationship you agree to have with your boyfriend.

I lived with a poor family and by the age of 10 - 12 the children were skilled cooks. I am convinced it shows the male that you are a viable mate by being able to cook. Why - it must be part of nurturing children. A woman who cannot cook, looks sterilie and looks like someone you serve not a viable mate and mother.
In very poor countries a young girl marries because she is viable mate and has all the right qualities of nurturing. I met a 14 year old and I could see she was ready to bring up a family. If you cannot cook you are part of this rich society with different values. I would say visit the third world and see this side of life and change. Sorry for rambling on but you have set me off.
To sum it up cooking used to be important, and to be fully in touch with are humanity and motherhood - cooking is should be a vital part of life. (and fatherhood too)

Well I would put cooking in the top ten main categories of a relationship - even in this day and age of takeaways and ready meals etc., Intmacy can be inviting at the dinner table etc., without the need to leave and go home - survival of a relationship is making sure your needs are met in dining - both boy/girl should know how to cook - make a start and surprise yourself - you reconize that he meant something by his statement so that is good - now do something about it - and make sure he can cook to - it is no longer the womans job - shared equally.

Cooking is only important if it is one of your partner's requirements. If he truly needs to have a woman that cooks, for whatever reason, then it's important. If you love him and want to make it a longterm love, what is the harm in taking some cooking lessons? Some couples don't have this domestic requirement. I know a couple in which the man does all of the cooking. Every situation is unique.

Thats his loss then.
I wouldnt say I am a great cook but my hubby has never complained about what he is fed. This is the new age anyway and most wives dont cook anymore.. We work as hard as men so we are not expected to do all the domestic duties these days!

I would say that it is very important. Me and my partner of 3 years don't ever cook mainly coz we never know what to cook and how to cook, so we waste so much money going out for meals, take aways, n we normally go to our parents for dinner coz we work. We spend so much money on food! therefore cooking is very important if you know the value of money.

Its no longer a custom aspect. as a remember of reality no longer in problem-free words is it cool for a guy to comprehend a thanks to cook dinner yet its horny. also, there is not any such aspect as a ideal mate. the excellent aspect that you'll do is the pass to a e book keep and have a glance on the self progression section and from that aspect look at the cook dinner e book section, with the photo interior.

Tell him he should be the cook instead, but one of you shud be, take aways will cost you a lot more muney than you're earning, Lol. He can't love you that much if a little thing like that stops him marrying you tho.
good luck anyway

Its not that important you know...
He loves you right? he courted you even though hes perfectly aware that you dont know how to cook..
He should love you for who you are..and your limitations...on the other hand, maybe hes just trying to urge you to learn how to cook, (and still marry you anyway even though you didnt learn how to cook) ^^
