Dishwashing causes more relationship distress than any other household task

Not surprising, but here's a new study confirming the obvious: couples that help each other with the dishwashing are happier.

From The Atlantic:

A forthcoming report from the Council of Contemporary Families (CCF), a nonprofit that studies family dynamics, suggests that the answer to that question can have a significant impact on the health and longevity of a relationship. The study examined a variety of different household tasksincluding shopping, laundry, and housecleaning, and found that, for women in heterosexual relationships, its more important to share the responsibility of doing the dishes than any other chore. Women who wash the vast majority of the dishes themselves report more relationship conflict, less relationship satisfaction, and even worse sex, than women with partners who help. Women are happier about sharing dishwashing duties than they are about sharing any other household task.
