We're the same age. My SO is a great cook also and loves to do it. My ex loved to eat out.. probably spent at least $1,500 on just eating out over a 10 month period.. That is almost what I spend on groceries for myself over a 10 month period now. That is where my advice stemmed from.

Getting married was one of the best financial decisions I ever made.
*correction: marrying a lawyer was one of the best financial decisions I ever made. My wife worked for a firm in Manhattan for 5 years before we moved back south. Even though she isn't working anymore, that was good money when we were young to start our savings off right.
