From the article 'Why housework and sex are connected'

Joseph Fields* knows that if he wants to increase the odds for sex with his wife, he brings her roses, sends her a love note or suggests dinner at their favorite restaurant. But if he wants to be certain of a romantic evening, he goes for the vacuum cleaner.

1) I could care less about housecleaning

2) I don't have a man I have a woman - soon to be my wife

lol!! Ok...
It did not happen overnight but something my husband decided to do on his own. I have also learned to delegate things to him and deal with them not done the way I would.
