How do you get a man to do his share of the housework?If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.

A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but heusually won’t make the effort to clean or organize it. This doesn’t mean that awoman has to do all the housework; she may have to manage many of the householdduties, and request her partner’s joining. A woman can often say that men andwomen should take equal responsibility for housework.

Very few men are raised to be fully responsible forhousework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand,most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projectson weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your manappreciation(欣赏) for those things, too. Most men will takeon a little housework around the house if asked politely. They are even morelikely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do , and do itwithout being monitored(监视).

Here is the key: men want to feel that they are doinghousework either because they want to do a task, or they simply want to pleasetheir women. Men are less likely to take on household tasks they consideruninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do ahousework task just for the good of the house.
