Blogger Advises to ‘Tackle Your Housework with a Smile’ – Women Everywhere React with Laughter

In a post that has since gone viral, a wife and mother, seemingly untouched by the evolution of gender roles over the past half-century, offers her take on marriage and housework. She opens with a zinger, “Do you ‘expect’ your husband to pitch in with chores? If so, your marriage is doomed because expectations ruin relationships.” Clearly, someone forgot to fill her in on the women’s movement.

She continues, “If he helps, fantastic! But if not, just do your housework cheerfully as if it’s a sacred duty.” The letter, written on lined paper—because apparently, she’s never heard of a computer—reads like a throwback to the 1950s. It’s astonishing to think she missed the memo about women’s liberation, which occurred long before she put pen to paper.

Her advice goes on to suggest that the only reason to marry should be out of deep love and a desire to be a supportive partner—not to impose additional burdens on a man who already carries the weight of providing for the family. The 1950s are calling and they want their outdated marriage guidance back.

It’s alarming to realize there are still individuals who cling to the belief that a woman’s place is in the home while a man’s role is to “provide.” This antiquated viewpoint not only limits women but also pressures men into roles they may not want to fill. Such dynamics can create financial dependency, potentially trapping women in unhealthy situations, especially if a partner controls the finances. This kind of imbalance can lead to serious issues, including abuse.

Let’s remember, the texts often cited to support such views were penned in eras where women had no voice. The idea that one should submit to their spouse “for the glory of the Lord” has likely been filtered through male perspectives over the years.

However, there’s a silver lining to this whole fiasco: the reactions to her letter. Never let anyone convince you that seeking equality in your relationship is a failure. The notion that women should dutifully submit is not just harmful to women but to anyone who values balance in a partnership.

“Make his life as easy and happy as possible!” she concludes her letter. Well, good luck with that!
