Islam encourages husband to help wife with her chores
Assalaamu alaykum Shaikh. I have read one of your recent fatwas about men doing household work.

Assalaamu alaykum. if a husband says to his wife, as a way of being romantic, "The moon is not shining because you did not look at it today," or, "Every time you open your eyes, a flower blossoms,' does that fall under Shirk (polytheism)?
