How To Get Him To Help Out

Sometimes honey-do lists aren't the best approach to getting your man to lend a helping hand. Many men grew up watching their mothers tend to the household, so when their wives assign tasks it triggers a defensive thoughts like "That's not my job." A better way would be to compliment him on how strong he looks carrying the laundry basket up the stairs or thank him with a kiss after he does the dishes. Linking the chores with sex appeal reassures him that he's not giving up his masculinity by contributing to the household.
