Yo–guys! Cook! (And I’m not talkin’ about burning meat on the grill. So easy a caveman could do that!)
If you’re culinarily challenged, rise above it and at least learn to prepare a genuine man-cooked breakfast of eggs over easy and a couple of slices of fried bread (straight-up toast is for wimps). Throw in a glass of fresh-squeezed OJ, and your wife will renew her vows.
Not to be sexist or anything, but have you noticed how many chefs are guys? I’ve worked a stovetop and oven since I was ten, and if you handle it right, your sweetie will feel totally indulged (well, maybe not totally) when you take over the kitchen. (Don’t forget to do the dishes afterwards . . .)
By the way, every kitchen has a “miracle-worker”: AKA slow-cooker. Start there if you have to. Meat, veggies, broth, and seasonings (go easy here, OK?), and she’ll come home with nothing to do but relax and enjoy.
For you accountants and analysts out there, the ROI is huge. For the rest of you, try it. She’ll love it.

I put on the apron and take utensils in hand about three days a week. I enjoy working in the kitchen and it gives my wife a break.
