Does Sharing Chores With Your Hubby Mean a Better Love Life?
Let's hear it for the men!
It’s not
often we women get to say that, but according to an MSNBC story, men are slowly
getting better at helping with housework and child care.
The Council
on Contemporary Families found that, since the ‘60s, men’s contribution to
housework has doubled and the time they spend on child care has tripled.
And not
only does chore sharing save
time, but according to Joshua Coleman, a San Francisco-area psychologist,
it also allows for a happier marriage
and more frequent
sex.
If that
doesn’t convince your husband
to pitch in, I don’t know what will.
How does
your husband help out around the house? Does more chore sharing equal more
lovin’ in your home? Tell us!

This makes complete sense. As a mom to three children running a house and working by the end of the day i would be too exhausted to brush my teeth some nights let alone hank panky ;)
add the resentment that I worked as many hours as my husband but did over 90% of household chores and some things that 50 years ago would have been "the mans job" ... I actually have a chart about this topic that I often share :-)
