I feel, as a feminist-sympathiser, that I should point out I meant doing the cooking for two was fun, whereas doing it for oneself is a bore. I did not imply that that delegating culinary responsibilities was an argument for marriage.

I have to agree with that. When I was living in my flat I often ate the same thing for dinner several days in a row becuase I couldn't be bothered to do anything else.

My self cooking rules used to be

It had to cook it in 20 mins max
You only used the grill and a Steamer or a single saucepan

I do all the cooking in our house. My wife works - I don't.  :)
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

My wife does most through the week; she only works a day and a half.  I tend to cooK at the weekend, during holidays and the "fancy stuff."

It's not a gender thing, it's a logic thing.

Works for us anyway :)

My favourite part of the deal though is my magic wardrobe; every Monday I have 5 newly ironed shirts :)

Please note I am being EXTREMELY ironic and in no way trying to belittle my wife's efforts!
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I'll never look at a pigeon the same way again. 
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

My kids claim that you can't cook everything at 180' for 20 minutes.

I prove that they are wrong, just ignore the black crispy bits and assume that the remainder will defrost in your stomach.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Pretty much every ready meal cooks at that for that long; give or take  ;)

We still do this to some extend.  We often make up large quantities of curry or chilli or spag bol sauce then freeze the remainder in individual portions making it easy to eat nice things when neither of us can be bothered to cook.

For added excitement we tend not to label the various bags or tupperware boxes, resulting 'freezer roulette'.

Whatever ... I'd rather be an Imperial Stormtrooper than a poncy Jedi Knight!  :d
