Marriage and relationship Counsellor, Counselor George Lutterodt has said that kitchen duty is not for men and that any man who tries to add that to his duty is poor and has nothing meaningful in life doing.
The Counsellor argues, that men with value don’t engage in kitchen duties and those who do are poor.
He added that even in the village where people are predominantly not modern, men who go to the market to buy foodstuffs for the kitchen are insulted for engaging in such practice.
“It’s not the duty of any man to help a woman in the kitchen, what are you looking for? If you meet a man pounding fufu for his wife, then he is a poor man. It is not normal for any man to help his wife in the kitchen. In the village, if men help their women in the kitchen, they are given names. It is the duty of a woman to be in the kitchen and when she allows her man in there, people insult her,” he said on Okay FM’s Best Entertainment Show.
Prophet Kumchacha who was also a guest on the show however disagreed with him and said men who do that do it to show love to their wives.
According to him, the kitchen is not designed for only women, adding that, men are supposed to help when the need arises.
“You are lying. It is helping the wife. Don’t be saying such things. Stop what you are saying. What do you mean by the man is poor if he helps his wife?” the man of God questioned.

This guy is not fit mentally to speak for himself as being a marriage counselor. That old mentality that women belong to the kitchen is not healthy and progressive in terms of morality. God has created us as men and women with certain peculiar capabilities that must come to bear in social-friendly coexistence and married life, reflecting individual capabilities for the common good. We now know, to some extent, that family life is like a cooperative entity that equally embraces any input, irrespective of gender, that makes a successful family. As a result, imposing orders discriminatorily against any gender must be discouraged because it's not morally sound. I'm a proud family man, and my wife and I do our best to make our lives better. I take delight in spoiling my wife in the light of being affectionate. If that makes her happier, then I have succeeded in doing that, and I'm also happy. To tout me as being a poor man because I cook for my family is rather unfortunate and uncivilized.
It's sad to hear this from someone calling himself a counsellor. It's childish to think men are not supposed to be in the kitchen. What about single men who are rich . Don't tell me all of them has maid servants. It's only in Ghana men thinks women belong to the kitchen.
There is some truth in what the counsellor is saying. the poor men will insult him though
