Dear Queenie,
My fiancée and I are going to get married later this year, but there is something that has me worried. She is not a good housekeeper – actually a very bad one – and I like a neat, clean place to live in.
I don’t want to nag her about it, but I do want a clean place to live and raise children.
Queenie, is there anything you can suggest that might help?—Neat freak fiancé
Dear Fiancé,
You can offer to help with the housework, especially if your fiancée has a full-time job. Or, if you can afford it, you can offer to hire someone to do the housework – and if your fiancée has a full-time job you can expect her to contribute to the cost.
