Happily ever after: how not to let everyday life ruin your relationship

Don't be nitpicky

He washes the floor differently, does not wipe the dishes, but immediately puts them in the dryer … There are many reasons why a partner can get scolded, but is it worth it every time to give vent to anger?

It is clear that before the start of living together, each of you managed to acquire an arsenal of habits, which are very difficult to give up at one moment. If no one wants to give in, call on logic to help.

It is customary in your family to do the cleaning once a week, spending a lot of time and effort on it. The parents of your loved one taught him to clean up a little, but every day: today, clean up the bathroom, tomorrow - wipe the dust everywhere … Agree, doing this is much wiser than regularly throwing at least one day off from your life, devoting it to household chores.

Habits are habits, but in such situations it is worthwhile to reason soberly and choose the method that allows you to cope with the task as efficiently as possible.

Thank your partner for help

When you do something from day to day, and in return you do not see either gratitude or even attention to your efforts, the thought involuntarily creeps in: well, why all this at all? Yes, you need to put things in order and wash the notorious dishes at least in order not to live in a pigsty, but I want to see that a loved one does not take it for granted.

You both work 8-9 hours a day, so why does one of you flop on the couch when he comes home, while the other has to cook and wash with all his might? After all, he is not obliged to do this, you did not hire yourself a housekeeper.

The less our efforts are appreciated, the less often there is a desire to do at least something.

Lack of attention from a partner is an excellent basis for a snowball of resentment and mutual claims. In this case, there is no need to talk about a bright future.

Divide responsibilities

The advice may seem obvious and even banal, but how many couples he saved from quarrels is beyond counting. Let's say you love to cook, but the thought of having to do the next dishwashing makes you shiver. Your other half is neutral about rinsing plates and pans, but cannot boast of culinary talents. You see, everything is decided by itself.

The idea here is that we each have chores that piss us off and we’re willing to accept. We entrust the former to the partner, and the latter we deal with ourselves.

What to do when some responsibilities cause you the same dislike? Alternate between doing them: this week you clean the floor, next week your other half. Well, or entrust all this to professionals.

Get rid of unpleasant activities

If general cleaning becomes a real torture for you every time, do not torture yourself. Let specially trained people - cleaners - put things in order. Qlean service will help you to forget about Saturday (Sunday, Friday - whatever) fun with a rag in your hands once and for all.

How it all works: you fill out an order form on the website or in the application, indicating the number of rooms and bathrooms to be cleaned. Then you need to determine the frequency of cleaning if you want to order it on an ongoing basis (hint: the more often, the cheaper it will come out). You can choose additional services: washing windows, dishes, refrigerator and oven, ironing clothes and putting things in order on the balcony.

What is included in basic cleaning? The cleaner takes out all the accumulated garbage, makes the plumbing in the kitchen, bathroom and toilet look divine, wipes dust, cleans kitchen surfaces from grease, wipes doors, doorknobs and switches, cleans mirrors, makes bed, vacuums and washes the floor. Cherry on the cake: he will collect the scattered things and put them where you say, and finally straighten his shoes in the hallway.

All actions of the cleaner are strictly regulated; during training, future employees must study a 36-page manual on the rules for putting things in order.

The company's approach to the choice of cleaning products deserves special attention: these are not copies from the “three-ruble bag” series, but hypoallergenic household chemicals that meet safety standards based on natural ingredients.

Finally, the most sensitive issue is cost. A four-hour cleaning in a two-room apartment with one bathroom will cost 2,116 rubles. Quite a humane amount, especially when you consider that you are unlikely to be able to clean everything up on your own. And the spent nerves will cost more than any money.
