Help Out With the Chores

How much do you help out around the house? Especially in the kitchen? 

I was talking to a man earlier in the week who said he believes that providing a good income for the family and the benefits of a good lifestyle should be enough. He doesn't feel he should have to do "housework."

It happens that his wife also has a full-time job and there are three kids to be tended to daily. He said he doesn't mind dropping them off at school, but beyond that he feels household duties should be a woman's job. 

If that's how you feel, I hope you will examine your feelings about that, since in today's environment with both parents working there's more chores at home than one person can do. Besides, helping out as much as you can frees up time for your wife to spend with you!

There can be some good communion time doing chores together. And as one postcard said, "No man was ever stabbed to death doing the dishes."
