No where in the Bible does it say that there is women's work and man's work in the care of the home. Husbands and wives need to share in the upkeep of the house. Obviously there are some things one of you will be better at than the other, but there is nothing wrong with the husband vaccuuming and washing dishes, just as there is nothing wrong with the wife pulling weeds and mowing the lawn.
Take turns in the care of house, you both live there and both make a mess. If you have children that are old enough, teach them to do chores. Even if you have to go behind them and re-do a lot of it, do not let them grow up without having chores. I speak from experience. I didn't have chores growing up and as a adult it was hard for me to clean up and became a source of stress for me.
Don't let it be a source of nagging, just know that it has to be done so just do it and get it over with. It is taking stewardship over your house. The Bible talks about how we are to be good stewards over what we have in our possession, so just do it.
Come up with a routine that is good for everyone to make sure nothing gets forgotten or duplicated because one person didn't know another didn't already do it. Share in the care and stewardship of the household.
