Especially when she's had a long day,( in order to know that you would have to ask how her day was). Clean the kitchen, or whatever is the most gross, that you guys use often. THe bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room. I don't like to cook, and wash the dishes. So I suppose after supper it would have to be washing the dishes. I hate waking up to a sink full of dishes.

I believe the number one thing would be if you have kids to help out with the children. What some men lose sight of sometimes, that even if you work a 12 hour shift, if your wife is a stay at home mom or a working mom, you can't clock out when taking care of the kids. That's why a lot of moms like going back to work. When you're at home constantly, you don't get a 30 minute break. A mother is an unappreciated and underpaid job. And plus if you help out with the children that will let her know that you acknowledge that you want to help out and that you're really sympathetic to her needs.
The other things are taking the trash out, helping with the cooking, doing the dishes, stuff like that. I think those chores can be shared among you guys as well. But it won't kill you to do some of those things on your own without her having to ask you. Just do it.

Personally, I would like for things to be fixed, cars to be washed and help with the cleaning. But check out the book "The Five Love Languages" because not all women need those Acts of Service to demonstrate love. Maybe your wife's love language is "Words of Affirmation" and you'd be wasting your time doing chores when you could get appreciation and love by paying her compliments

EVERYTHING... just kidding. I love it when my husband does the man stuff... take out the garbage, mow the lawn, little fix-its that need to be done. And once in a while I love it when he does some cooking and cleaning. Really man... anything is helpful. Just keep in mind, when you both do the housework, that cuts down the time that housework is being done..which means More time for the two of you to do things together... Tell her this, then ask her if there is something you can do to help. She will be flattered :)

One of the most important: If she cooks, you clean up the kitchen, and vice-versa.
Pick up after yourself. Don't leave your clothes on the floor or your papers everywhere. It seems that every guy I've ever dated, including the WONDERFUL man I'm currently seeing, have a major problem with leaving STUFF about the house...and it looks cluttered and messy. Straighten up and you should be fine.
Offer to help with what she is doing. If she is cooking dinner and brings out a load of laundry offer to fold it while she is cooking. Or, better yet, fold it and then put it away. Major points for a man who knows where the laundry goes after it is folded! :-)
Good luck!

Lets say there are no kids, then the first would be the living room must be spotless, next the kitchen, next the bedroom. You do all three consistently and she will never ever gripe at you again! In fact she will continually boast to her friends about how great her hubby is. Even if she asks you to do laundry and you forget. If all three are done by you she won't say a word.

I would LOVE if my husband would do the dusting! I'm allergic to dust so this would definately be the most helpful.... of course, he doesn't do it though. He does do the dishes and helps picking up around the house. But deep cleaning he doesn't help do.
