I had to LOL when I read this part below, because I know American men who sound just like this Japanese man when he proposed here:

The author of Kekkon Shimasen (I Won't Get Married!), Haruka abandoned her own plans for marriage a decade ago when she realized her fiancé wanted her to give up her career and lead the traditional life of a Japanese housewife. She says Japanese men sometimes propose to women with lines like: ''I want you to cook miso soup for me the rest of my life.'' Not surprisingly, Japan's increasingly educated and well-traveled young women are not impressed.

That would never happen here. Most American guys would ask women to heat up their chili for the rest of their lives.
