Creating a sense of fairness and teamwork. Many husbands just don't understand why housework is such a big deal to their wives. They may not be slackers on purpose. But many were raised in traditional homes where their father did no housework at all. A husband may pay lip service to the notion that times have changed and that it isn't fair for his wife to work a second shift when she gets home while he pops open a beer. But old ways die hard. On some level many men still consider housework to be a woman's job. When the husband helps, he feels he should be applauded--but instead his wife keeps demanding he do more, which makes him defensive and likely to do less.
Solution By now the key to resolving this issue should be clear: Men have to do more housework! Sometimes men shirk their responsibility in this department due to a sheer lack of motivation.
Let's face it--no one wants to trudge out the recycling bags in the snow. So maybe this little fact will spark a husband's enthusiasm for domestic chores: Women find a man's willingness to do housework extremely erotic. When the husband does his share to maintain the home, both he and his wife report a more satisfying sex life than in marriages where the wife believes her husband is not doing his share. The benefits to these marriages extend beyond the bedroom.
In these relationships the women also have significantly lower heart rates during marital arguments, which means they are less likely to begin a discussion harshly and so avoid triggering that whole downward spiral of conflict involving the four horsemen and flooding that leads to divorce.
I'm not suggesting that every husband must do a straight 50 percent of the housework if he wants to save his marriage and see his sex life improve. The key is not the actual amount he does but his wife's subjective view of whether it's enough. For one couple this could indeed mean an even split of chores. But in another marriage the wife may be just as satisfied if he takes care of some chores she hates--like cleaning the bathroom or vacuuming--or even if he agrees to budget for a weekly housekeeper to lighten both their loads.
The best way to figure out how much housework a husband needs to do is for the couple to talk over the following list. By itemizing exactly who does what, you'll finally have an objective basis for determining who should do what.
Use the list to describe to each other first your perception of how things are currently handled and then how you would like them to be. This list extends beyond actual cleaning to other domestic chores--like family finances and various aspects of child care--that can also be causes of conflict if the distribution of labor is seen as unfair.
