Four Tips For Handling Your Spouse’s Poor Hygiene

Poor hygiene can have a big impact on relationships and bring a strain between a spouse and his or her partner. Obviously, it can affect attraction and physical intimacy, but communication as well, as it can become a source of regular conflict.

Personal hygiene involves good oral health (white teeth and clean breath), a clean and fresh body, and regular hand washing after going to a bathroom or touching dirty objects, and clean fingernails.

Discuss with your spouse about his or her poor hygiene

Let your partner know of your experience and see if it is possible for him or her to change.   If not,   both of you should find a better way to handle it which may involve contacting an expert for further assistance.

Get to the root cause

To find solution to the problem of poor hygiene, it is important that the couple understand the cause before proffering solutions. There is the background factor. Marriage is the coming together of two people from separate backgrounds. One background could be trained in a well clean environment while the other may not be so.. When you both understand this, it will help in finding the solution faster.

Stop the blame game with your spouse about his or her poor hygiene

Couples should not blame their spouses for their dirty environments, but should do something to improve the situation. You could hire a home help or a housekeeper that comes and goes after cleaning up the home or simply make yourself available to help your spouse and share the duties.

Avoid passivity

Beating poor personal hygiene involves the mind. If the mind is passive, it will know what it is supposed to do, but will rarely get around to doing it. For instance, passivity could be behind the refusal to do the dishes or take out the trash bin.
