Hubby and I are both easy going people when it comes to certain things and we generally agree on most points. But there’s one thing we have been arguing about in our 11 years of marriage – the temperature of the house! I know I’m not the only one who can relate to this argument.
Thankfully in recent years of our marriage, we’ve both given a little on this issue. But I’m not kidding, I remember some serious shouting matches about what degree we had the thermometer set to. I’d be freezing my butt off and hubby would be sweating.
According to this infographic from Honeywell, 26% of couples argue about the temperature in their house! And 64% of women keep the temperature higher than their male counterparts. Surprised?
If you’re freezing and arguing with your hubby, I have the perfect giveaway for you! One lucky winner will receive this HoneywellĀ EnergySmart® 360 Surround Heater (HZ-435) (value, $64.99. Pictured to the right).
Here’s a bit about it:
Warm up this winter with the versatile and energy efficient 360 Surround Heater. Equipped with an energy savings thermostat that gives you just the right amount of heat by regulating the wattage consumption based on your desired temperature, the EnergySmart® 360 Surround can save consumers money without sacrificing comfort.

January 23, 2013 at 2:58 pmWe agree on a temp. We actually set it at 67 and just leave it. If we are cold, we pile on blankets lol. Neither of us raises it up.
