He works full time and so does she. He drives around the kids, as does she. He takes out the garbage, cares for the lawn, pays the bills, talks to her, and watches some tv and plays PS2.
If this isn't exactly what a woman wants her man to be doing at home, then what?

Ok. I forgot to mention the husband also shags his wife whenever he put in the prep work to get her relaxed and put her in the mood.

Well that's all well and good. But there's more to a relationship than just a division of work. The talking is good, but what about intimacy?? I see nothing about that up there.

Without asking help to clean a bathroom, pick up, vacuum. Turn off the tv and pS 2 and pay attention to the home and the kids. Lawn work is once a week, houseword is every day.

I can only assume you are getting complaints from your wife. The only woman who can answer your question is her. I can see no obvious problem with your contribution, but chores are only part of the equation. A lot depends on what the complaints are. Is she saying you don't do enough, or that she does not feel she is getting any attention? A good honest talk is probably your best bet. Try to find out what it is she feels is missing.

Women are funny sometimes. You can do everything right but it is still wrong. But I have found that surprising her with unexpected and out of the ordinary things that she doesn't think you are capable of really turns a woman into putty. All a woman really wants is a man to show her that she is the most important thing on the planet. Believe me, I've been through it all thinking I was doing everything right. Boy was I wrong.

Okay, you had me up to the PS2. Any man over the age of 30 with a PS2 has a problem.

Sounds pretty good as long as you are not creating more mess than you are cleaning up. We also like going out to dinner, sans kids, and maybe the occasional day or weekend trip to see something different.

Pick a time to just be with the wife. Just the husband and wife. No kids, no TV. Just be with her, be intimate, listen to her problems and don't try to solve them (women feel better once they talk of their problems; they don't need solutions, they need a listener). Perhaps an hour of cuddling and soft kisses. It doesn't have to be sex. Just intimacy.

It looks like you forgot one important thing in your schedule. When do you have special time for your wife? She is the other half of your marriage. She should come well before the video games. How about rearranging your order of activities and putting her first?

Maybe you should ask her what she wants - it sounds as if you are helping out. Maybe she thinks you spend to much time playing PS2 or watching TV.

Tough question. Loaded question. Perhaps he should spend time driving the minivan to the tavern? Or teaching the kids how to fight? Or kissing wifey's as_? Or doing her nails? Cleaning the gutters? Surfing porn? Where're you going with this, partner? Curious minds want to know...
