Doing household chores together will strengthen your relationship

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."

The study also found that couples who shared household chores were more likely to have better communication and problem-solving skills, which are important components of a healthy relationship.

"Doing household chores together can also be a great way to bond and spend quality time together," says Zak. "It's an opportunity to have meaningful conversations, work towards a common goal, and support each other in a tangible way."

So, if you're looking to improve your relationship, consider sharing household chores with your partner. Not only can it make you happier, but it can also strengthen your connection and create a more supportive and fulfilling partnership.
