What works better than sultry music to put a woman in the mood? The purr of a DustBuster.
New York women swear the secret to a long-lasting relationship is getting their guy in an apron – the same thing a new study by the London School of Economics found.
The report, which surveyed 3,500 British couples, reveals that divorce rates are lower when husbands help out with housework, shopping and childcare.
Kimberly Howard, a 26-year-old art director from Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, finds her man irresistible when he chips in with chores.
“My boyfriend is a super cleaner,” she gushes. “Not only does he clean, but he cooks. Am I turned on by it? Of course. He’s taking charge, he’s taking responsibility. And that’s hot.”
Howard’s boyfriend, 25-year-old business manager John Thomassen, loves to sweep and do dishes. He also does most of the cooking, which the couple chronicles on their blog, hecookssheclicks.com.
“It’s him taking care of me,” Howard explains. “This is sexy, and special.”
Stefanie Shuman of Astoria agrees. The 26-year-old, who works at a Manhattan ad agency, recently moved in with boyfriend Jordan Schwartz, 27.
“The other day I asked him to clean while I was at work,” Shuman says. “He texted me later that afternoon to say he actually enjoyed Swiffering. I swooned. Another day, he grocery-shopped. I have high hopes for our relationship.”
Shuman says her guy will do any domestic task she asks him to. “It’s really reassuring that he enjoys taking care of our home,” she says. “I was elated. You get that smile, then a sigh that comes with it.”
Stephanie Thorburn, a 31-year-old from Manhattan who works for the NBA, and her husband have been married for just over a year, but they say the he-man housework thing works great.
“The fact that he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty is fantastic,” she says. “Whether it’s laundry, vacuuming or cleaning the toilet, James does it all. Knowing I don’t have to do all the work myself makes me a very, very happy lady!”
