Husbands-To-Be Can Now Be Sent To Groom Academy

Ladies, are you now or have you ever been engaged to a man who can’t iron his own shirt or cook anything more complicated than beans on toast?

Are you staring now the barrel of a lifetime of forgotten birthdays, missed anniversaries and last-minute Christmas gifts from the petrol station?

Well, fear not!

Simply send your utterly useless partner to Groom Academy where in just a few hours he will be transformed from Ben Affleck in Gone Girl to Ben Affleck in real life.

At Groom Academy, your beau will learn how to cook, clean and even make your favourite cocktail as a precursor to a life of wedded bliss.

Yes this all does sound horribly sexist, reductive and gives men everywhere a bad name but it’s not the worst idea in the world – we just think everyone over the age of 18 should get the chance to learn these life skills.

The one-day course at Worcester Whitehouse Hotel includes a 30-minute session with housekeeping staff on cleaning where they reveal their top tidying tips learned from years in the business.

For anyone who has ever tried to change their bed sheets in the middle of the summer when one side of their bed is up against the wall and their fitted sheet has shrunk in the wash wouldn’t mind a few hints on how to make the whole thing easier.

After bed making and ironing, grooms sit down with the head chef at the hotel and plan the perfect three-course menu for the couple based on their favourite foods and any allergies they might have before learning how to execute the perfect romantic meal.

They’re even taught what wines to pair with the dishes for a fail-safe Valentine’s Day dinner.

The helpless husbands are then joined by their special ladies for a romantic meal and a night at the hotel, before embarking on their new lives as changed men.

But we repeat, this should not be an exclusively male pursuit. There are quite a few of us out there who don’t know their way around an iron or how to knock up a delicious beef bourguignon for two.

They should turn this into a Wedded Bliss Crash Course for couples and include courses in How To Know When You’re Beat In An Argument, Sharing The Remote 101 and When ‘I’m Fine’ Really Means ‘You’ve F****d Up. Big Time’.
