Doing chores could improve sex life
2008-03-07 00:12:00
Men have doubled the amount of housework they do, spend three times more time with their kids than they did 50 years ago, and have happier wives and more solid marriages because of it, a US study has found.

The reward for men who help out around the house could be more sex. “We sociologists generally don’t go there, but therapists say there’s a direct correlation” Coltrane said. Psychologist Joshua Coleman said that sharing the household chores “is associated with hig...

Police announced today that more “items” found at the same site where part of a child’s skull was discovered on February 23, could be human remains. “We continued to excavate the first site at the house and have taken out a few items,” deputy Harper said. “It is too early to say what the significance of those are.
