But according to a new study, seeing your spouse do household chores might actually be an aphrodisiac — and not just for women. The study revealed that the more housework a husband or wife does, the more likely they are to have sex with their spouses.
Many of the participating couples reasoned that showing an interest in household work — defined as cleaning, preparing meals, washing dishes, washing and ironing clothes, driving family members around, shopping, yard work, maintaining cars, and paying bills — demonstrates a greater willingness to invest in shared interests. It's a symbol of teamwork and commitment. One husband told researchers that sharing chores reflects a "willingness to hold my wife's needs and wants on par with my own." He sounds like a keeper.
Do you do and your significant other split up the household chores? Has it led to a better sex life?
