A child is simple, easily controlled, yet trusted absolutely because of their lack of knowledge about all of the possibilities to cheat and lie effectively. He can't leave you, because he doesn't know any better. A man is complex, strong willed, and must be watched due to his real experience. He can go where he pleases, and he can leave you.
How do you feed these two opposites?
A child is picky, and will get upset about what is placed before him. He eats little, and never finishes what is being fed to him. He rushes away from the table to engage in frivolous pursuits, leaving you to clean up and take care of the mess yourself.
A man eats many more things, and in much greater quantities. He is content with simple eating, but desires surprises to know he is worth such effort. He is gracious, and would never belittle you for your efforts. He may appear lazy, but he will occasionally help clean up with you. It isn't that he doesn't care, but he just doesn't always recognize the scale of how hard you may work. When he does tell you to relax as he does the dishes, know he is making a conscious effort for you, and you alone.
Food energizes the body, and the right food builds the body up stronger.
A child eats little, so he can only do little. Overfeed a child, and he becomes sick, and you must care for him. Underfeed a child, and he will become bitter and avoid you. He depends on you. You cannot depend on him. WIll he stand up for you, fight for you, humble himself for you? No, he will not.
A man eats much, he requires more effort to keep healthy, but a man can do for himself. A man knows better than to overindulge, or should. You can only do so much. A man can then use the food provided to tremendously increase your strength. He can defend you. He can fight for you. And he will humble himself before you.
Feed your man, and he will provide for you. His food is love, understanding, support, sex, spontaneity, and well...food. If you can't "cook", you should learn. If you can't learn, prepare to be burned. Don't be lazy, and never let your man slack.
