Women love being pampered by their men both in public and private places.
Whereas some men know how best to do this, others are pathetic when it comes to treating their women.
Kiambu men, in particular, are victims of not being able to show their love to their wives especially due to their strict cultural beliefs.
Having lived in various parts of Central Kenya, I have managed to observe men from Murang'a, Nyeri, and Kiambu and I can clearly tell the difference.
I also talked to my friends who are married by men from Kiambu and they helped me come up with a list of three major things that a Kiambu man will never do in the name of being romantic.
Cooking: If you think a man who cooks is romantic, then forget about marrying a Kiambu man.
"My husband would cook for me when we were dating but since we got married he has never made even a cup of tea" Monicah Nyambura a Limuru resident says.
Sadly, most Kiambu men still hold strongly the traditional belief that cooking roles can only be done by women. In fact, some of them never get inside the kitchen.
Cleaning the dishes: We all know that romantic husbands will chip in once in a while and help their wives with the dishes. But not the Kiambu man!
My friend Alicia Muthoni comes from Murang'a and she tells me how her father would help her mother with the household chores. Muthoni who is only three months old in the marriage feels troubled seeing that her husband is nothing close to what she expected.
Warming the food: A good wife prepares enough food while leaving home so that her husband can have something to eat. However, these men from Kiambu cannot even make the least effort to warm the food and serve themselves.
"Can you imagine my husband waits until I return from the church at 4 pm so that I can warm the food and serve him?" dissapointed Joy Wanjiku says.
If Wanjiku is late to return home, her husband prefers to visit a nearby hotel and buy ready food than warming the food in the fridge.
