Well, it may not be grammatically correct for “we” to say “I told you so” but you catch our drift when we say that this article from the Wall Street Journal confirms what we have been saying the whole time:  Women love it when men pitch in around the house.  We didn’t spend countless hours in the CWPC labs performing test after test for nothing.  Well, it may have been overboard to compare the effects of cleaning the main bathroom versus the guest bathroom, but we had to be sure!

The article brings up some interesting points. Perhaps not every woman gets excited by watching her man do laundry (different strokes for different folks: I prefer yard work), but most of the respondents agreed that by sharing the responsibility of maintaining a home, and by extension the relationship, couples feel closer together.  I think that the St. Paul, Minnesota accountant said it best:

“To me it’s not the dishes, laundry, vacuuming (or Viagra) that matters,” he writes. Sharing chores reflects a “willingness to hold my wife’s needs and wants on a par with my own. For us, the key to intimacy is the sharing and minimization of selfishness.”

I bet that house sizzles on a Saturday night.
