Maybe it's because Brian and I have always worked two 40-hour/week jobs *and* still take care of household chores, the "free time" of 40 additional hours seems.... excessive?
What I mean is, Brian and I both work full-time jobs, and I still cook about 5 dinners a week, we do laundry, grocery shopping, errands, bills, and we still own a house (on top of our 2-bedroom apartment) so we have to do maintenance/repairs as landlords.
If they are passionate about cleaning/housekeeping, why not volunteer as an aide for the elderly? Or help at at a Veterans Hospital? Soup kitchen? The homeless shelter? They certainly could use volunteers who are passionate about such things. We'll have to agree to disagree on the subject, I suppose, because I just feel there should more purpose to anyone's life than serving and caring for a significant other; some aspect of giving back, charity, and volunteerism.
