xoSelf: How Do I get my Husband to have Choreplay?

xoSelf (short for Love Yourself)) is a weekly advice series where women can anonymously seek advice on topics about relationships, work, finding themselves or life challenges. xoSelf is responded to by educator & life coach Dr. Walter Hidalgo.

 

Dear xoSelf: I’m tired!!! All day, every day. I am a mom of four active boys under 10 and trying to launch my online jewelry business. I’m a stay-at-home mom so my husband feels that I should be able to manage the house, the kids with plenty of energy to spare to satisfy him. NOT! I told him that if he can help around the house with tasks, then maybe I won’t be so exhausted at night. He tries sometimes, but it’s not consistent. How do I get him to chore-play if he wants sex frequently?  

 

Answer: 

As the ‘ol saying goes: It takes two to tango!  If one person is doing most of the dancing then it becomes a solo show – not a duet!  We forget that marriages are also a business plan where everyone is expected to support the other mentally, physically, emotionally and financially, to just name a few.  Ergo, I recommend putting together a business plan that includes home expectations, business expectations and family expectations. Each instance should be spread out fairly to not overwhelm the other.  Consider using a large erasable calendar that shows who is doing what and when. Learn to manage your life in such a way that each responsibility is equally distributed so that adult time is spent 100 percent for you both!
