Been married for over 35 years..36 this August 30. I love her still to this day.
Take these several comment the way you wish.
You can be right all the time or you can be happy, your choice.
As already said it is really not much sacrifice to be proactive on the chores and sharing of duties. Ladies love it when they DON'T have to nag. Your relationship will blossom and flourish when both of you have common goals. The house, money, children etc.
If you love your wife, respect her, complement her you both will be winners. You can disagree we all do.
You will find if you do something with out being asked your wife will likely give you twice in return. I think that is a woman's nurturing part.
You both will reap rewards by spending time alone with each other (date night) it might only be an hour in the evening just to discuss your feelings and listen to her's.
Don't for get to say you love her.
