I have a friend who married an Italian woman. They got home after the honeymoon, and he told her she had to do the dishes and all the housecleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day he went downstairs to see the house was neat and clean, and all the dishes were washed and put away.
Another friend of mine married a Polish woman. After the honeymoon, he gave her orders to do the housecleaning, the dishes, and all the cooking. The first day he did not see any results. The second day he saw a bit of improvement. And on the third day he came home and saw the house spotless clean, all the dishes washed, and a fine hot meal waiting for him on the table.
I married a Hungarian woman. After our honeymoon, I ordered her to keep the house clean, the dishes washed, the laundry washed, the yard mowed, and have hot food prepared for every meal. On the first and second day, I did not see anything. By the third day, though, the swelling was down enough so I could see just a little out of my right eye. And my left arm had healed enough to allow me to load the dishwasher and fix myself a bowl of soup. (Would have fixed a sandwich, but it hurt too much to chew.) Still hurt when I peed for a few days after that.
