The top source of marital stress, according to a recent report from the Council on Contemporary Families (CCF), a non-profit organisation that researches family dynamics, is doing the dishes. Whether the plates are left piling up in the kitchen or not will determine your happiness and relationship satisfaction.

The study hypothesises that this may be the case since washing dishes is the most monotonous and exhausting daily activity. Whenever food is cooked, dishes pile up and we act more than thrice a day sometimes.

According to the study, however, less than one-third of males share the detested chore of cleaning the dishes with their partner, but men let their wives do the dishes. According to earlier studies, women who don’t get any assistance with washing the dirty dishes had more turmoil in their relationships, very little relationship satisfaction, and bad or no sex compared to women whose partners help them wash the dishes.
