The Married Male Mind

So are housecleaning and happiness related?

In writing the book, "VoiceMale—What Husbands Really Think About Their Marriages, Their Wives, Sex, Housework and Commitment" Neil Chethik kept seeing the parallel between housework and sex in the interviews.

Men said the happier their wives were in the division of housework, the happier the men were with their sex lives.  He even looked at the numbers and found that there's more sex in the relationship if the wife is happy with the division of housework.  It doesn't have to be exactly equal, the wife just has to think it's fair. When a woman comes in she notices if it's a mess, it's often socialized in [her] that [she is] more responsible for the look of the home So if he can recognize that by doing a fair share, then he is often rewarded with sex. She's not as angry, or  burdened and she's not as tired.

Hmmm... I think we need a housekeeper.
