Three Stages of Romantic Love
1) Attraction to physical attributes, social skills, intellect or personality (If marriage occurs during this stage, the honeymoon is usually as good as it gets); 2) Compatibility (Discovering shared frames of reference, interests, beliefs and objectives); 3) Rapport (Knowing the best and worst about someone and still trusting and loving them unconditionally). Your thoughts?

1. Lust [Viewing another human being primarily as an object of sexual gratification is indicative of something less than love].
2. Rust [Not necessarily. The aging process causes some couples to peak sexually then plateau; others remain active].
3. Dust [Yes. All of us will one day experience physical death. Epitaph: "I expected this to happen but not so soon"].

Thanks, Kewpie, for an antidote to the gender specific presumption underlying our new site member's question.
And there are plenty of marriages in which there were husbands who enticed their wives into matrimony with their best dishes.

Originally posted by SeitseI tend to agree, actually. Women 'nurture' almost instinctively, and this includes cooking.
A woman who can't to cook is like a computer without internet.
But there are men who aren't interested in 'providing for a family', so why shouldn't there be women who aren't interested in the whole 'nurturing' gig?

Why would you see the world in terms of a false dichotomy?
The 1% must be really happy with you. As long as people
think in terms of man vs. women, Raiders vs. Broncos, or
Christians vs. Muslims, those puppeteering your whole
life are safe.
