How Husbands Can Help Their Wives With Chores by sunky97: 9:02am On Jul 08, 2017
For a lasting, loving and rewarding marriage, each spouse needs to feel appreciated, loved and respected.
It is the lack of balance that can easily create resentment.
When bitterness takes root in the heart, a breakdown of that shared intimacy is dangerously close.
It is in doing the little things and being attentive to one another over time that can add up to a loving marriage.

Jesus taught that when we pray, we should go into our closets where men do not know or hear our prayers, but God alone sees and hears our prayers.
Therefore, we should demonstrate humility and gratitude for the things we have been blessed with. What we do in secret motivates and blesses our lives publicly.
The same is true in housework and marriage.

What you do for your wife in secret is really what makes all the difference. Cleaning house is something you can do without sharing your sacrifice with others. It’s a gesture of love for your wife that speaks to her personally, “I love and value you.” What you do in secret will bless your life, and your relationship, outwardly.

Here are some chores husbands can help their wives do in the house:

Dish washing: Dish washing can be fun especially when husband and wife are together in the kitchen and are talking and joking with themselves. Nothing can be sweeter than jokes coming out of the kitchen when wife is cooking or chopping tomatoes and husband is helping out with dish washing. This act of helping one another will surely increase love, trust and togetherness in the family.

Ironing of cloth: Most men often iron their own cloth, leaving out the cloth of their wives. This sometimes brings resentments at home. Husbands can help with pressing the cloths of wives especially on weekends. Ironing can be lovely especially when done as family members are watching movies together. While husband is ironing, wife can be arranging the cloth on the hanger or inside wardrobe.

Cleaning of ceiling, walls and windows: Although this is men’s job, wives can support their husbands when this chore is to be executed. When husband is sweeping and clearing cobweb with broom, wife can help out with water to clean glass surfaces.

Laundry: Gone are the days when washing of clothes used to be a hard chores, but with the advent of washing mashing, washing of cloths is fun. Thank God for invention of washing machine. Husbands can help reduce the burden of their wives by helping them to load the washing machine with dirty clothes arranged for washing, while the wife engages herself with other chores at home.

Cooking: Women love a man who can cook. Not only does it show that all important independence and basic life competence, but women too love to eat. Women are turned on when they see their husband cooking. When you help your wife with cooking it makes her happier, and increases her love for you. This makes women feel safe and gives them a feeling of being in the hand of competent man.

In conclusion, When you take your time with the family to do house chores, I promise you, you will discover a sense of accomplishment. Your family will experience unity. And more than likely, you will have a happier and more successful life.

You this Neanderthal, why's it that when you're faced with the truth or you see this kind of posts, you open that rancid hole on your face and emit one of your predictable catchphrases? What has feminism got to do with helping your wife at home? Do you think doing chores makes you any less of a man? I honestly pity the woman that'll end up with you.

I made use of the word MOST,

but obviously u are so engrossed with the feminist world , that you have forgotten a woman is the owner of the house.

and that includes chores and taking care of kids

ask yourself​ what's a home without a woman

then ask​ yourself what's a home without a man

nothing bad in doing most of the chores at least once in while

but a man has his duties.... I wonder how I will be able to pay my kids school fees and buy my wife the latest iPhone
if I get caught up in the loop of chores.

everyone has his place

everyone has a task (Just as one is assigned to u at work)

everyone deserves to be treated right

but no two adults are alike

I believe in multitasking and division of labor , with good rewards after a days job.

if my above points makes me less of a man

then I pity your husband

Anyway, to the topic at hand.

I don't believe it's a man's sole responsibility to provide for everything in the house, same way i don't believe it's a womans sole responsibility to do all the house chores.
Either of them can do any of the above to make things flow smoothly in the house.

To make your lives easier, you can actually get maids to comr on and clean the house every day or every other day. You can get someone to come and wash the clothes every week or twice a week.

However if either of the couple is not working, nothing stops the person from doing the chores in the house to save costs.

It's all about proper planning.

There's nothing wrong in a man assisting the wife with chores when he could. With the advent of washing machine, clothes washing isn't as demanding as it used to be while the very outing ones that needs a professional touch should be sent to the drycleaner. Once in a while both couple could decide to cook together, it's fun and also help in bounding the marriage; while she's steaming the meat, you could be chopping vegetable while the both of you are chit-chatting on other things and stealing glances.
Now, I feel like getting married.

I don't see a man doing chores as helping his wife. That makes it sound like it's the wife's sole duty. Same way I don't see a wife contributing financially as helping her husband.

Except he wasn't home trained, he should know how to do those things. It's basic home training, and being married shouldn't stop him from doing them. They both own the home, and they must run it together, it promotes unity, reduces stress on each party...etc.

I'm not surprised those boys up there are frothing at the mouth. How does rolling up your sleeves to help the woman you vowed to cherish, have and hold make you less of a man, kwanu? What do we call this? Sexism or sheer ignorance?
Healthy marriage is teamwork . Once married, you two become allies who HELP each other out, cover one another’s weaknesses and reinforce each other’s strengths.

Division of labour please... I don't need to tie apron to prove the extent of my love to anybody.

You See men today wanting women to take part of the financial responsibility of the home but they find it extremely difficult and impossible to help out in the house chores. A bachelor will cook his own meals, clean up his own house , wash his own clothes and dishes, etc but immediately he gets married he turns into an overgrown baby that can no longer take care of himself.

Real men help their women with chores , there's no reason that's justifiable for a man not to help his woman with chores don't think any is . Chores ain't tasking , ain't strenuous If done together . Just even helping her is romantic itself and it's not like it takes anything from you. A happy family is one that does everything together.

This is too long nah

The thread is clear. How to HELP your wife

Ur only helping
Re: How Husbands Can Help Their Wives With Chores by Ezionye(f): 8:49pm On Jul 08, 2017
Same way a man will want his wife to contribute financially to the upkeep of d house. Even if he is well to do, he will still appreciate when his wife makes her own contributions. It shows commitment

So I don't really get y some persons are against assisting in house chores. Your own house o. As if its d wifes sole responsibilty. Besides doing things together is healthy for couples.
