How Can We Manage Chores Effectively as a Couple?

Published on: 6th November, 2025

Series: What I Wish I Knew Before Getting Married

Managing household responsibilities isn’t just about splitting tasks—it’s about creating a home that reflects what truly matters in your marriage. It’s about tapping into each other’s strengths, communicating expectations clearly, and acknowledging the often- unspoken mental load that one spouse may carry. 

Join our host, Hosanna Nazar, as she sits down with Raymond and Jenny Teo, founders of Ten Butter Fingers, married for 25 years. They share how chores are less about keeping score and more about teamwork in different seasons of life. Whether it’s reassessing priorities or outsourcing when needed, the goal is to build a home that supports connection, rest, and purpose—without letting housework become the main thing that defines your relationship.

Married life can be filled with twists and turns, especially with the day-to-day priorities, and stresses in life, including the times we run into conflict with our spouse.

No matter the state of your relationship today, we want to help your marriage thrive.
