Unusual Things Married Couples Fight Over #1

or

Before you were married, you never thought you would fight over this

#1 Dirt

Yep, number 1 cause of marital disputes is dirt. Most men, even ones considering themselves to be clean and orderly, like myself, find they end up fighting with their wives about cleaning. Seems clean is never clean enough for most women. This is particularly problematic for me in those times that my professional wife stays home (such as during maternity leave).

Of course, man-to-man, the real issue here is not cleaning, but rather cleaning on demand. Which is to say that said area of house has to be cleaned when she wants. Two hours from now is not good enough. Five minutes from now is not good enough. And this evening, after you've finished your work and whatever else is infinitely more entertaining, is definitely not good enough.

As you may gather, I work from home which brings a whole new level to the issue. Some people, no matter how hard they try, are just unable to truly believe that working from home is working.
