How can I get my fiance to help me clean our house - Just for an hour this weekend... We both work all week and the place is a pig sty by the weekend and I usually have to do all the work - but I'm so discouraged... He makes more mess than me and it is mostly his messes and clutter.... WHat will motivate him to help me?!!!

Tell him that you're just too tired after cleaning all weekend to have sex, but that if he'd help out, you'd have more energy. Then clean house in the buff. Or you could make a competition out of it by giving him one or two rooms and you take one or two then whoever gets finished first gets to chose what you do that evening.

Have you asked him to help you clean?
Set a timer for 1 hour, and tell him to clean until it goes off. You'll be surprised as to how well it really works.
Don't blame him for all of his messes. Instead of thinking "its mostly his messes and clutter" try of thinking it as "we need to work on our disorganization" If you don't approach this now, after you get married it WILL STILL BE THERE.

My fiance leaves his socks on the bed all the time. I had enough, so one day after gym, i left my shoes in the middle of the kitchen, my socks on the bed, my sweaty gym clothes on his bag. The stinkin' socks is no longer on the bed.
Good luck!
ps. just don't clean for one weekend, see how it goes.
