Is it essential to serve a man as a wife?

I grew up watching my mum serve my father but resent doing it especially when she'd finally sit down and he'd say he wanted either salt or hot pepper sauce.

Whereas I watched my grandparents help each other some nights my grandmother would cook other nights my grandfather would reheat left overs but my grandfather and I would always set the table.

I am struggling a little whereby I don't believe any one person should serve, I've tried to implement a tradition whereby we share duties so my partner will serve me food if I'm dealing with baby and vice versa.
But there's no preference on meat or anything in particular. We pretty much just serve and if the person wants a bit more they may get up and help themselves.

It's not about "serving"

Do you think this influences the way a relationship goes?

Everyone is equal in the sight of God.
@peterlee How come I read your comment as supporting women should serve a man? Like there is nothing wrong with this, all they are doing is seeing the hand of God in how God wanted them?

@awildsheepschase You have misread me completely.

Marriage is a partnership of equals, sharing.

That includes housework, cooking, bringing up children

All are equal in the sight of God.

I have no time for lazy misogynist men.
@peterlee I've just seen those words mean a thousand things, so I have to take those words at face value. If I were accusing you, which is not my place, I'd never lead with 'how come I read...' 👍
