🔹️Chore | Definition | Meaning : A routine or regular task, especially a household duty such as cleaning, cooking or laundry ect.

🔹️Introduction.

Every home have chores-cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, bills, and more. But in many marriages, disagreements often arise over who should do what. One partner may feel overburdened while the other believes they are already doing enough. Left unchecked, these small conflicts can grow into resentment. 

🔹️The good news? With open communication, fairness, and teamwork, couples can turn chore disagreements into opportunities to strengthen their relationship. 

🔹️Disagreement Between Spouse on Who is Responsible For Certain Household  Chores is Very Common. It Usually Comes From:

1. Different Expectation – One spouse may assume chores are gender-based (e.g. cooking vs fixings things) while the other expects equal sharing. 
2. Workload Imbalances – If one partner work longer hours outside the home but still feels pressured to do chores, resentment can build.
3. Unspoken  Assumptions – Sometimes, couples don’t clearly discuss who should handle what, so misunderstandings occur.
4. Preceived Fairness – Even if chores are divided, one spouse may feel they’re doing the more stressful or time-consuming tasks.
   

🔹️ Way to Handle it peacefully 
* Communicate Openly: Sit down and talk about what feels fair to each person.

• List chores Together: Write down all tasks ( cooking, cleaning, laundry, bills, repairs, childcare, etc) and divide them in a way both agree is fair.

• Consider Strengths & Preferences: If one enjoys cooking and the other prefers cleaning, swap accordingly. 

• Be Flexible: Life changes ( like kids, jobs, health) mean chore distribution may need adjusting. 

Teamwork Approach: Instead of “ your chores vs my chores”, see it as “our home, our responsibility “.
