Gauge the wife’s happiness meter (one of her love languages is Acts of Service). As it lowers, make it a priority to get home earlier to knock out more chores after work.

(Just a joke HN!)

This is absolutely true. Thanks for putting it into words. You have just defined a key metric for a happy marriage.

With full attention, as soon as possible.

These are the jobs you do for yourself (and loved ones). If you're not willing to put out your best efforts for your own benefit, for whom will you do so?

You're almost insinuating that one of the most difficult luxuries to come by is time, especially among people like entrepreneurs who might put extreme focus into their uncommon non-domestic pursuits.

I accept that and it follows that the most successful will be the ones easily keeping up with their own cleaning & laundry, cooking & dishwashing and things like that with time to spare.
