As for cooking, my wife simply doesn't like it. Because of this she puts no effort into cooking and defers to me, which I don't mind a bit. Although I am by no means a good cook, I think it's a lot of fun. I usually do about 70% of the cooking in our house. Is anybody else in a similar situation?

Sounds like we married the same person.
I don't iron either though. I but clothes based on low maintenance and use dry cleaners.
I think you have to love food to be a good cook. I love food, she doesn't. She's a stay at home mom and will cook err prepare a meal most weekdays. I cook on the weekends. I love cooking our main Sunday meal. Roasts, turkeys, and a lot of Asian food.
OK she's not that bad. She has a few meals she takes pride in and does a great job with it. The problem is the motivation. And I don't blame her. I'd probably manage it the same way.
