Brothers,
be happy if your wife ask you to help her in household duties. It's means your wife does not afraid of you, it's means your family is "sakinah" family.
Sakinah words derived from Arabic. In Arabic, the word sakinah implies calm, serene, peaceful, respectable, safe, comfortable, feel protected, loving, and obtain defense. Thus sakinah family means a family life that those who live in it feel serenity, peace, security, peace, protection, happiness, blessing, and appreciated.
The right Muslim family is not a family which the wife afraid to the husband. Relationship between husband and wife in Muslim family is not relationship like master and servant, but relationship between two persons who love each other.
Husband is the leader in the family, but he's not a boss. Wife obey the husband not because she's afraid to her husband, but because she trust her husband. The right Muslim husband is a husband who can maintain his wife trust, and make decision not to please himself, but to give a happiness for his family.
Your wife is not superwoman who can do everything alone. So, when she need help to doing the housework, help her. Believe me, she will appreciate you in special ways that will makes you happy.
