I voted “Less offensive” -- and would have picked “Not offensive” if the “and having one will make your life more fun” part weren't there. The way I would phrase it is “You'd better be able to cook and keep a clean house if you want to get married some day”. (Or maybe even without the “if you want to get married some day” -- why someone living on their own wouldn't need those skills?)
They probably would. But it's a very different statement.
In fact, shortly before I graduated college my mother said to me (a male) that I should learn to cook because it would make me more independent. She was right.
There is also some difference between learning to cook and clean for yourself and for someone else. With one, you can follow your own taste. With the other, you need to memorize typical taste.
But mostly it's a very different statement.
