Married for 25 Years, Bill and Melinda Gates Still Wash Dishes Together Every Night

Bill and Melinda Gates have been married for 25 years.
Despite their wealth, the couple takes time to do the dishes every night.

In an exclusive interview with Business Insider, Melinda reflected: “One night I realized I was still in the kitchen a good 10, 15 minutes after everybody else doing the last-minute things. “Sometimes in the moment my frustration or anger just comes out. So one night we stood up after dinner and people in the family started to melt away, like, off they go upstairs. So hand on my hips, I’m, like, ‘Nobody leaves the kitchen until I leave the kitchen!’ And while dishwashing may seem like a simple thing for others, Melinda believes that dividing responsibilities equally between the husband and the wife can indeed contribute to a happier, healthier relationship.
So yes, they’re still going to wash dishes in the years to come – and they’re gonna do it together.
