Dividing household chores may seem like a fair and modern approach to marriage, but a Nairobi-based psychotherapist, Chris Hart, has a different perspective.
According to Hart, when husbands take on traditionally female chores, such as cleaning and cooking, it can lead to a decline in their sex lives.
He suggests that this is because males doing female tasks can turn off something very primitive in our brains, making us less aroused.
On the other hand, a traditional division of labor, where husbands and wives have distinct roles, can lead to a more exciting and passionate sex life.
While this may seem counterintuitive, Hart argues that it's a natural response to the way our brains are wired.
He emphasizes that having lots of passionate sex is a crucial part of a happy and healthy marriage, and that couples should strive to find a balance between fairness and excitement in their relationships.
So, the next time you're considering dividing household chores, you may want to think twice and consider the potential impact on your sex life.
