I do know vegetarian women who prepare and cook meat for their partners. I am not in a position, I'm sure to advise on moral issues, its down to each individual conscience but I would think the ethics are about what you take into your own body. You have the control over that and you make the decision. Just as, regardless of whether you do it or not, your husband-one-day will make the decision as to what he ingests. You have to go with your gut (sorry!) instinct and if you just can't face it, maybe he can eat veggie with you sometimes and when he eats meat, he cooks it??
Dx.

Couples should be able to accept each others differences and preferences to diet communicate more

it also states in the bible that if you do NOT believe in eating meat that to try and get you to is a sin.

romans 14, i believe.

anyhow, i've had strong relationships in my life, and none of them were with vegetarians. if they know in the beginning that this is who you ARE, not just a phase you are passing through...they are okay with it.

if you tell them you are gonna cook it, and then can't do it day in and out, they tend to get a bit pissy about it, lol.

men can handle making their own steak, i promise you.

Thank you all so much, really. You're all awesome. And all of your oppinions are really helpful.

I think maybe I will go about it by signing us up for cooking lessons together, so we can both develop some skills ;) And this way, he can cook his own meat most of the time, but if he is not well enough or something to do it, I can always step in. And plus, this way I have an excuse to make him help out in the kitchen right? ;) haha jokes.

Only you can answer this. You must decide how deep your beliefs run and determine if sacrificing them would do more harm to your relationship then good. Also you should talk to him about this as there my be options he can also think of. Communication is the key. Dr.

I do all my own cooking now anyway, so I see no reason to expect my partner to start cooking for me.

If I met a woman who was a vegetarian I might try going that route again. The last time I was a vegetarian I did so because I grew all my own food. Due to health reasons I haven't gardened the last couple of years but I really miss it and would like to get back into it. If I'm going to be a vegetarian I like to grow most of my own foods.

I actually used to make my own bread twice a week. I made if from whole wheat flour which I also grew and ground myself. I had bees for honey and never used sugar. The only thing I never got was goats for milk. I always wanted to get some, but just never got that far along. Mainly due to lack of finances to build a proper fence and building for them.

I really have no problem with eating meat, but I could take it or leave it. I'm not crazy about soy products though, or tofu. My sister is a veggie and she eats a lot of make-pretend meats, like "naught-dogs" and so forth. I can't stand those things. If I'm going to be a vegetarian I'll just eat vegetables and not pretend to make them into meat. I actually love salads and things like green fried tomatoes, zucchini, and many vegetable dishes so it's not that I don't like veggies.

I could be a vegetarian, but never a vegan. I'm definitely hooked on milk, butter, cheese, and eggs (not made from soy bean milk!). I'm not going to give up those types of things. But, yeah, I could give up meat pretty easy.

Love them veggies. But gotta have some meat with that most times.
I could do without meat. But I was raised on it and like it. But to be honest, I have sort of slowed way down on meat as a whole.
Lives longer, huh? My son was a vegan for a few years. He became so pale though. It started worrying me. He now eats some meat, not much. And he won't eat any meat next to a bone. Actually, neither one of them will.

i became a vegetarian seventeen years ago...and went from being a sickly child and teenager to an uber-healthy adult.

i was fifteen, barely, when i gave up meat...and i've been sick four times since.

look make things easy on yourself the bible does say thou shalt not kill but that is only limited to people. Able slaughtered his best. Ritual killing was done all throughout the bible. If you believe in the new testment love is the only commandment.

You'll know when you meet the person of your dreams what's right for the two of you. The perfect person for you would not demand that you do something you find rreplusive. Good look to you.

Peace and blessings,
Steph

AnnaBella,

If you do something that you feel is wrong to make someone else happy, it will have a negative effect on how you feel about yourself. If cooking meat feels wrong to you, then you shouldn't do it.
