“Life is boring.” most couples would say.

“There is nothing else to do.”

I personally believe there is so much things you and your husband can do together everyday.

1. Unwind Together
For a start, after a busy day at work, you and your dear can sit together over a cup of Earl grey and update each other about the days’ happenings.

Do allocate some time to share and hear from both parties so that both husband and wife have equal amount of time to share and unload their emotional barges.

We won’t want so much of over-talking from only one party, leaving no chance for the other to unwind at all.

2. Sleep Together

My friend Stuart Tan wrote a post on the relationship between relationship and business.

I always believe that a strong relationship starts at home.

For those men who want to succeed in business, find a good wife who love you and can take good care of your family.

Of course, in return, you have to respect and love your wives even more.

Do look around you at those succesful businessmen. Most, or in not all, have a stable and loving family at home. When they go to work, they are very assured that their families are well-taken care of at home.

What about those with problems at home?

Or let’s look at yourself. How do you feel when you quarreled with your girl-friend or wife and then you go to work?

I know many of my married friends have never done houseworks in their lives.

Before their weddings, most have domestic helpers at home to do their houseworks for them from folding their clothes to picking up their shoes which were strewn around the house when they got home.

After married, what will happen to the newly-married when both of them do not do any housework in the past?

What will happen to their kids?

I remembered one of my female friends who told me that her mom’s cooking was one of the worst in the world. She doesn’t even know how to light the stove.

These poor children were so deprived of their mothers’ cooking. They have everything in the world but they had never tasted what home-cooked food is like.

That is pathetic, isn’t it?

So, I urged that newly-married couples must do the housework and not outsource it in any way from engaging their mothers’ maids to clean up their house once a week or eating outside food for 365 days in a year.

I know doing housework may not seem to be part of the wedding contract. But welcome to the reality. You are going to move into your new house and there bound to be housework to be done because it is a house unless the house can work by itself and it is not mostly to be.

So, wedding couples, after their weddings, really have no choice but to do their houseworks, whether they like it or not.

So here are 37 reasons to help you justify why housework must be done:
1. Increase sense of ownership of the house
2. No one, except yourself, knows what can be thrown or not
3. Up-keeping of hygiene
4. Do you want to have cockraoches as pets? If not, you know what you need to do.
5. Bonding between husbands and wives
6. Learning to delegate tasks
7. Practice assigning responsibilty e.g. wife cooks and husband washes the dishes
8. Something to look forward to at the end of the week
9. Exercising time
10. Can help to reduce your tummy and it is FREE!!!

How much do you know about the person you have married?

Neither do I know much but it doesn’t stop me from understanding my wife more and more everyday.

Yesterday, I was helping my wife with some paper work and generally I typed faster than I speak.

I also have the eye for details and I can spot any error or typo if there is one.

I do love to read alot and sometimes I give suggestions to my wife to run her group of little monkeys using management strategies that huge Multi National Companies have used.

Hmmm, quite interesting to see that different strategies, once fine-tuned to suit the needs of different environment do work to certain extent.

What I am doing my best to say here is that husband and wife have different strengths, skills and knowledge. Most of the times, the husband may have the solution to the wife’s problem at work and sometimes, the wife can help the husband out with relationship problem with his boss.

Remember ladies always have the magical personal touch.

Thus, husbands may want to seriously “hire” their wives as interpersonal relationship consultant.

Personally, I love coming up with tactics and methods to work around various difficult situations.
