Lanzo, I certainly agree that more self-initiative regarding the M is needed. I don't see a problem with asking her what her priority is for the chore list.
If I start cleaning an area of importance to her, she will often join in or take over. This happened this past weekend.
I've spent many weekends cleaning the house by myself--plenty of self-initiative with little notice from my W. It's important to clean those areas that are causing her stress.
