Re: Just got married a few weeks weeks ago...
Enlisting support from a spouse or an in-law is not as difficult as it may seem.
Simply ask.
What's stopping you?
If hubby says that he wants to relax then let him. And when he has had some time to do so then ask him to do something for you while you are doing something else. He's not going to say "No" is he?
Then once you are alone......softly say "Thank you for doing ___________ for me. I really appreciate it." It will do wonders to recognize the task no matter how little it may be.
Try rewarding him with these Thank you's for a week or two. Then see if the work doesn't get done on it's own.
