The latest research has shown that the fathers who have good relations with their children and are always ready to help around the house have more chances for a happy marriage. The experts from the universities of Utah and Missouri state that the sharing of house duties between the spouses makes their marriage happier. But it should be done reasonably. Traditionally men used to be responsible for hard work around the house as well as for taking the garbage out and mending a little, whereas women did all the washing up and cooking.
According to experts this is a big mistake. They have found out that it’s not important who does what, the important thing is the fact of sharing the duties. When wives perform some work together with their husbands, they are more satisfied with the marriage. The experts have been studying 160 couples and the way they share house duties and upbringing of their children in order to see how all this influences the relationships quality. The most important factor was the way the fathers treated their children and the readiness to help around the house and perform this work together.
If the husband has good relations with the children it will strengthen the relationships with the wife. This includes playing with children, having mutual hobbies and studying. Thus reading in the evenings and heart-to-heart talks make the marriage happier. The parents who have taken part in this research are aged 25-30, and their children are not older than 5. The parents are going to have difficulties at this stage of upbringing. And if the spouses are happy with their house duties the marriage promises to be happy as well.
