Sit down together and have an open discussion about your preferences and expectations regarding household tasks. Be honest about which chores you don’t mind doing and which ones you’d rather avoid.
Play to each other’s strengths and preferences—like if one of you enjoys cooking, they might take on more of the meal preparation, while the other handles the dishes or grocery shopping.
Another useful approach is to create a chores schedule to make sure tasks are divided fairly, and that you’re both contributing to the upkeep of the home. But don’t forget to stay flexible and willing to adjust this schedule as needed, especially as you settle into your new routine together. Regular check-ins can be beneficial to discuss what’s working and what might need some tweaking.
