I think it's great for girls to learn the basics of cooking, cleaning, taking care of there stuff JUST AS MUCH AS BOYS DO. It's not so much learning the tasks to take care of their hubby but lessons in life for their ownselves.

I myself am partial to serving my husband, but it's never expected of him, nor does he insist. He easily serves his ownself and is very self sufficient if I am not around, or even cases when I am around. I cook and clean for him out of love and devotion. When there are times when I am ill or whatever, he serves and takes care of me.

He does always know when I am angry at him because I wont cook. 3 or 4 days might pass and finally we work things out and i go back to "serving" him again, LOL.

I think if your daughter grows to understand that caring for her husband is out of love and is not expected, nor does it belittle her she will enjoy it.


In a previous marriage of mine I served like a slave to that useless man. It was insane and very belittling to me because he didn't respect me nor anything else for that matter. I wasn't serving him out of love, it was out of standard male expectations, ugh. I was young and stupid but quickly learned how to nip that one!
