Hello everyone i am a turkish man who is married with a japanese woman in japan! We have our house and we are happy ! I really appreciate god and my family! In the first year we had a lot of arguments because of houseworks! But nowadays we are fine! I cook everyday and pick up the clothes , she washes the dishes and clean the house ! So nowadays we have no argument about houseworks! I really wonder you all! How about you? Do you share them? How do you handle it?

@japanesesamurai I love the house when it is quiet, meaning the kids in school and hubby at work. i can work in peace and do a lot of chores at the same time

I’m happy you and your wife both do chores. My husband helps me a lot. He cooks a few nights a week, vacuums, washes the floors, and grocery shops with a list I give him. I clean and dust, do the laundry, make the bed, and run errands.

Same for me. As time goes by, I think it really doesn't a big deal to argue for such kind of issues. Besides, perhaps I am more considerate and I don't mind doing more sometimes.

Well seems like an ideal couple to me. Once you start living together things like this are quite normal in the beginning I suppose. But I think you both have well adjusted to each other. It's a nice idea to share chores otherwise one can really feel burdened.

sharing chores is a very important thing for couples! after some time, if one does everything ,finally she/he will explode i think ..

Good point actually!!!! My husband does share work, but at times he is really difficult. Actually, we hardly argue on houseworks.... I manage most of the things on my own
