Find a happy woman and KEEP her happy.
You won’t have any problems in the marriage.
The woman should keep the man happy too.
Hey welcome back.
The secret of long term relationships; soup, sandwiches, and icy cold beer...
I thought the secret was ducking the wife by spending time on FR while taking shots of JD followed a beer that you pulled out of your mini fridge in your man cave and having any hero, as long as it is less than 3 days old, within arm’s reach.
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”
Aiming a little bit high...
Wait a minute, the secret to a good relationship is homecooked meals served to the man, but women are bad for admitting that they sometimes first accept dates from men because of the food?
I hate beer. Hubby hates soup.
Love can be defined as being willing to make an effort to make the loved one happy.
My wife has been willing to make that effort for 35 years now. And she’s a good cook.

The excerpt above tells me that while there is a lot of love in the author’s relationship, it did not come from the food his wife serves. I got through the whole thing without one flutter of desire for anything going on there. Rye bread and thin sliced roast beef? Yuck. Campbells soup with cream? Spare me.
The moral is that once a fellow can accept her poor offerings and learn to love them . . . and her, happiness ensues. But, I’d rather eat at McD’s than their place.
Ha, I spent seventeen years eating dinner at the table with my father, mother and two brothers and not a word was ever spoken.
“Confucius say, woman who think way to man’s heart through his stomach, have sights set too high.”
That’s SAD! My wife and I raised four daughters. Even when Nintendo was the hottest ticket, then phones and then computers...at dinner, TV OFF, phones OFF, computers OFF...we sat at the table as a family, we talked about our days, about life, we joked. At least one night a week was family night and we played board games or video games together - ALL OF US.
Was it always bells and whistles? Of course not, not family, marriage or relationship is, but we worked to be a close, loving family. All four of my daughters are grown, two married, one engaged, one divorced. All have children of their own and they all have family nights.
I grew up in a house where my mother ate in the living room, watching TV. My step dad ate at the kitchen table and I ate in my room or somewhere else and we couldn’t get further away from one another...and it felt like it too. My wife is a Latina woman, so her family and family meals (ANY MEAL) is the most important time to spend with each other. We decided early on that we didn’t want to pass MY family tradition on to our kids.
I think this article is TRYING to say that bonding moments happen around food and family - IF YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN. Otherwise it is just sustenance and $2 protein bar can solve your belly hunger, but it won’t help make/maintain a marriage or family.
Yes, troll.
The first is in the context of an already-committed relationship, the second is a thot sponging off of someone else while implicitly promising something (a relationship) never delivered.
“I like steak and wine myself, but here we will concentrate on the most fundamental of American meals; the delicious soup, sandwich and icy cold beer.”
Real beer is not served icy cold. (Yes, I am a beer snob.)
We raised our kids the same way. Food is consumed only in the kitchen area. No food allowed anywhere else in the house. The only “entertainment” we had in the room for a long time was a radio. We taught our kids how to cook and how to work as a team on a meal. Now they are teaching their friends who didn’t get that growing up.
We lived in Willis, Texas for nine years and my youngest daughter was in a high school class, I don’t remember which one, but they asked all the students in the room (28 kids) who sits down as a family and has at least one meal month - about 10 raised their hands. Asked about once a week - she said 3 raised their hands. SHE was the ONLY one who said that we have a family sit down meal EVERYDAY.
And we wonder why we have fractured lives and we are coming apart at the seems?!?
No, the latter is a mating ritual. Showing the ability and interest to make decades of preparing home cooked meals worthwhile. Take a look at the animal kingdom—that is when the males work hardest, before they have won over their mate.
And when the woman knows in advance that she has no intent whatsoever of continuing contact or a relationship, it's fraud.
Remember the guy in California who serially skipped out on paying for dates?
