Are you tired of arguing with your partner about who should do the dishes or clean the bathroom? According to a new study, doing household chores together can actually make you happier and strengthen your relationship. Zak Fleming of Express Handyman is sharing why.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Alberta, surveyed over 1,500 adults. The results showed that couples who shared household chores reported higher levels of relationship satisfaction and felt more valued and appreciated by their partners.
Studies have shown that couples who share household chores have more time and energy to spend on their relationship, which can improve overall satisfaction and potentially lead to more frequent and enjoyable sexual experiences. Additionally, a study published in the American Sociological Review found that men who contribute more to household chores report higher levels of sexual satisfaction. However, it is important to note that the link between household chores and sex drive is complex and multifaceted, and can vary greatly between individuals and relationships.
"Sharing household chores can be a simple way to build intimacy and connection in your relationship whilst getting some well-needed work done in the house," says Zak. "By working together to maintain your home, you can create a sense of teamwork and shared responsibility that can bring you closer together."
