Love changes our lives and inspires us to great deeds – but, unfortunately, it does not always harmonize with gray everyday life. This is why it is important that couples not only give each other attention and emotions, but also agree on compromises when it comes to housekeeping.

The beginning of a relationship is a magical moment when lovers do not care about the details that surround them: whether it is constantly scattered socks or running shoes on the clean floor of the apartment.
Unfortunately, over time, everyday problems can become one of the causes of conflict in a relationship. According to statistics from VTsIOM (*2021 study of 1,600 participants over the age of 18), almost a third of Russian families regularly argue over the distribution of household chores. And 10% of couples even cite disagreements in daily affairs as the reason for their divorce.
You + me + house
Of course, everyday life problems cannot be avoided. But misunderstandings about homework can and should be avoided! To do this, it is worth understanding that the living space requires regular attention from each of us.
Sharing responsibilities is an important point for every couple. But it’s up to you and your partner to decide how best to proceed. It is convenient for some couples to differentiate the spheres of everyday life: when, for example, the woman is responsible for cooking, while the man always washes the dishes after eating. Other couples divide household chores based on how busy they are or who can do what. Okay, it’s better to ask your husband to vacuum than to hope he knows how to properly iron a new shirt made of sensitive fabric.
