My husband will sometimes help with folding socks, I don’t know why but that is my least favorite chore.

He once finished mowing the yard for me, I was sick and just couldn’t do it—I was very frustrated about it.

I LOVE doing yard work, I can’t wait for this winter to be over so that I can start mowing again!

I find mowing to be very satisfying.

I suppose he could cook if he wanted to but I don’t think he wants to and I don’t care. It works for us.

Call me a chauvinist, but I don't like to ask my wife to do things that are particularly heavy - like mowing the lawn.

I'm sure that she could do it (if she could get the mower started, it pulls pretty hard) but if I can do it, I don't like to ask.

I run the chain saw and hedge clippers to trim back the bushes and trees, she does the flower gardens. She's got a much better eye for that sort of thing... I look at flowers and think "Pretty". She looks at them and says "Well, this color goes better with that, and this will look better when it grows in..." and so on.

Truly, as it sounds like with your husband, it's a complementary relationship. 'Tis why we work so well together. :-)

I find it to be very relaxing.
