three reason for a man sharing housework with his wife ? help?

Answer 1

1 - A happy marriage is 50/50.

2 - You live there.

3 - You want your wife to appreciate you.

Answer 2

1) Because you love her and like helping her
2) You live there, too
3) She will have more energy in the bedroom (now tell me #3 didn't catch your eye :)

And marriage is not 50-50. That's why so many marriages are falling apart. Marriage is 100-100 where each person should be giving 100% of themselves to making the other person happy and not thinking of themselves and what they want all the time.

If both of you are working outside the home, it's only fair to share the work around the house. Many men don't have a clue how much women actually do when they work outside the house, too, especially if the man isn't helping to relieve some of her stress as she balances work, home and family and other activities.

If she is a stay-at-home wife / mother, she should do most of the housework but it still doesn't hurt to help her when you can. Men don't stop to think they work say, 8a to 5p, then go home and want to relax and unwind..... but....

If the woman stays home, she is running the sweeper, mopping, dusting, cleaning windows and odd and ends, changing out closets, doing laundry, sometimes yard work, running the kids here and there, baking things for their school, cooking the meals and washing the dishes, then she has to help the kids with their homework or run them to other activities and many women are involved in church functions and Bible studies, too. Women aren't on a clock from 8a to 5p where they get to put their feet and relax and unwind. How unfair is that? And if she works outside the home, she STILL has ALL THAT to do, too.

And the kids should have things to do around the house, too, so they learn to respect what you two go through, they learn responsibility and they appreciate what they have. They shouldn't be paid for every little job, either, because some of that should be automatic since they live there, too. Harder chores on a "volunteer to do" list is where the pay comes in.

And don't forget # 3 :)

Answer 3

You definitely have a full plate and no, your not wrong in asking but I would say after all you have been doing that things won't change unless you get the Nanny to come to your house and get hubby involved like he should. If he does not go for the idea of helping around the house then hire someone to come help with house work and children. I have been where you are even though it was only two children and it kept me stressed out to the max after a few year of trying to do it all. You may have to go shop at Aldie's for groceries and buy clothes on sale more then you do now. But you can find the extra money if you look. You really need the help!

Answer 4

Help with the housework and she will have more time to focus on you...if you know what I mean. That is the only reason you need. I jump my husband everytime he does a load of laundry! We share the housework and both of us end up happy!

Answer 5

1. you love your wife.
2. It makes a house a home.
3. Responsibilities shared by two people.

Answer 6

The wife will be more apt to have sex if she's not too tired from doing all the housework.

Both spouses have free time to snuggle and cuddle.

It could mean a great massage for the husband...

Answer 7

Yes, it takes the full load of chores off both of you. I was a single Mom for years, I worked a full time job and then came home to my other job. I felt as if I did not have a life for awhile.
It is so nice for a husband to do dishes and throw a load of laundry in once in awhile. If you love your wife, why would you not help, and turn her into a woman who has so much to do she would want to cry. She is not your momma and you should have Little more respect for all she does, and try to life the load off her once in awhile.

Answer 8

If both the husband and wife work they share house work together, thats the only reason i can come up with

best of luck

Answer 9

1. Because she is not his housemaid or mother.
2. They share the house. They should share the work.
3. If both people work on the housework, they are both then free to enjoy leisure time together.

This only applies if both people work outside the home. If he works outside and she is home full time, the house is her work.

Answer 10

1. you both work a full time job/ or neither work now
2. she is ill
3. just to be nice when you have extra time on your hands

But if she is a stay at home mom/wife and he works full time then there is no reason other then # 2 or 3.
