Guest blogger Marilyn Kentz says: I just love a nice garden. Especially when my husband does the majority of the work.

I just love a nice garden. I love the colors of the pansies and the daffodils. I love home grow heirloom tomatoes and fruit trees. I feel so satisfied when everything is in bloom. That's where my husband comes in

In the beginning of my gardening hobby, I would emerge in the backyard wearing my cute overalls, a flower in my hair and holding a large silver kitchen spoon. And this was long before Paris and Nicole overexposed us to that sort of clueless bourgeois farming. My husband would look at me with amusement as I would dig several little holes in the ground with my little spoon, plant one row of bachelor buttons and go back in the house to rest while my other half would mow the lawn, trim the trees, plant the vegetables, water and fertilize. Every once in a while I would come out in my little outfit (flower drooping from my nap) and point where I wanted the roses to go. He would accommodate because he loves me.

If you are at all impressed, get this: I also asked him to get a vasectomy and a year later I changed my mind.

A study conducted by bonding epoxy maker Mighty Putty reveals that married women make lists of chores they'd like to see their husbands accomplish around the house. Here are some of the results:

94% of married women keep a honey-do list
78% say they wait weeks or years to see the jobs accomplished
44% do the chores themselves

One might say mine is a "Honey, do everything list."
