Sixty young couples resident in Sydney, Australia, were interviewed on 3 occasions: before marriage, after 5 months of marriage and after 2.5 years of marriage. The roles taken by each spouse in food provision and preparation are reported. Expressed attitudes towards food- and health-related factors were also discussed. Wives took the major responsibility for food purchasing and preparation, although husbands played a significant role. The impact of children on these roles was not assessed. After 2.5 years of marriage, there was a reduction in the number of shared meals, with the exception of the evening meal which remained the focal meal at which to influence a spouse's eating habits. The opportunity for more individualized meals during the day may lessen potential conflict over who gets their preferred foods in the evening. There were small but noticeable differences between wives' and husbands' stated likes and dislikes, and stated concerns about food. These may affect how much and in which way people are prepared to change their eating habits, and should be taken into account when planning nutrition education programmes.
