We had a cleaning lady for a stint, and then she quit on us. The nerve! She moved on to pursue other things, and I told my husband I think we could do the cleaning ourselves and save the money every month. He gave me a look like he knew there would be fights in our future if we didn’t decide what needed to be done and by whom. This chore chart for couples would’ve been a big help.
When you’re trying to keep the peace in your marriage, a chore chart for couples could be the solution you’re looking for. After all, kids aren’t the only ones who need a reminder to get chores done. All husbands and wives have some kind of division of labor—he empties the dishwasher and she does the laundry, he mows the lawn and she pulls weeds, he vacuums and she dusts—and the house hums when both do their share. A chore chart could be the missing piece to making that hum happen!
Maybe you’re struggling to feel like he’s contributing. Maybe he feels like he’s doing the brunt of the labor. A chore chart for couples lays it out in front of you and provides accountability. Start with a conversation about which chores you like and dislike (and which ones are going to be done exclusively by the kids). You may discover your least favorite task is something he doesn’t mind doing and vice versa. List them on the chart and give your new roles a few weeks to settle in. You might discover an imbalance and need to make some tweaks, but in no time you’ll have a clean house and fewer arguments about who does what.
We have more chore charts if you need to divide up household duties among the kids, or keep yourself on task with a chart for adults. They’re all so pretty! They’ll blend beautifully with your sparkling home!
