My wife and I agree, there is only ONE WAY to load a dishwasher!.....Alone.
TLDR
Here’s my short and concise answer.
Because the kinds of people who would not move in together before marriage have traditional morals and values. Those are the same kind of people who believe in making marriage work and making it healthy.
Plain and simple.
This is me applauding what you wrote!
Good answer.
Co-habitating is just practicing for divorce.
When was the first marriage?
I think arranged marriages may have been the norm for thousands of years. Of course, not likely today except for traditional cultures.
I think the act of moving in together sets up a mindset that either one can end it, so there’s no real joining because each one has the mindset of being able to end it. They don’t have to have the level of commitment to make it work.
I think that works for us, as well. One of us puts away the food, and the other does the dishes, including loading the dishwasher. We take turns in almost all aspects of the meal prep and cleanup, though I do almost all of the procuring of the foods. It hasn’t always been this way, but that’s because children were part of the equation. Now that it’s just the two of us, we do a lot of this together, and we have fun doing it.
IMHO, one side-effect of the left pushing the gay and transgender thing is it further normalize heterosexual hedonism.
We've already gone from "Hey, we're living together. At least I'm not treating her like a one night stand." to
"At least my one night stands aren't treating my female friends like sex objects, the one night stands know what they're getting into." to
"Friends with benefits is normal. At least it's not like gay stuff."
Even if us Christians win the argument and society realizes the gay and transgender thing is dumb, the Dims' push for very crazy sex practices has normalized just sorta crazy sex practices.
** load a dishwasher**
My wife rarely lets dishes sit long enough to get crusty. We both rinse dishes as soon as we’re done eating off them. She quickly washes them (her brothers call her ‘the White tornado’ after her maiden name). She hates listening to a dishwasher and is certain she uses much less water. One came with this house, has it’s own breaker, which has been off for a long time.
**have traditional morals and values**
Amen!! My wife and I waited until marriage, and are so glad we did! (wedding night was a clumsy learning experience, lol)
The reason for the statistical divide has to do with the character of the domestic players.
“Those are the same kind of people who believe in making marriage work and making it healthy.”
Yep...and that can be and I’d hard work.
Which is why I think there are so many divorces.....one or both parties refuse to put in the work necessary.
Our dishwasher is a very quiet newer model (LG 2014). We use the energy saver quick wash, and rinse the dishes before food gets stuck on it. It’s basically a very nice sterilizer though.
I also handwash a lot of things, because the DW just discolors so many items after a ton of uses. I have a lot of retro items in my kitchen because I think they were just made better back in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s.
I do not put pots or prep knives in the DW ever.
Miss Ajax?

I doubt I could live with anyone at this point. Mid fifties and I have lived alone my entire life. I have nice properties but they are more investments for retirement and where I sleep from time to time though they have the potential to be a special homey home for someone someday, but old single guy who has spent his entire life on airplanes just doesn’t care enough anymore. Though, I rebuilt my kitchen in my current abode from scratch and it is beyond a dream kitchen, because I do enjoy the hell out of cooking.
Sounds like what you need is a nice, traditional, submissive "girl-next-door" type.
Got a Time Machine? The 1950s were full of them!
