We just have the rule that whoever cooks doesn’t wash. I hate cooking because I hate getting my hands sticky, my wife hates washing the dishes because she always forgets the corners and we end up rewashing anyway.
It’s perfect harmony. Whenever she doesn’t want to cook, I cook, and she then procrastinates washing as long as she wants because it is her responsibility and we both know it.
We basically never fight, but cooking and washing has never been a point of tension in this household lol.

The situation is eerily similar to that of the Crusader States and the Latin Empire in surprise surprise the “Holy Land”.
Not to mention those wars also came as a general result of prosperity and wealth in Christian kingdoms that fought and pushed back against the Islamic states.
Israel has a lot in common with the Latin Empire really. Fully supported by a foreign, far away power with strategic interests in the region.
