How do I stress the importance of organization and reduced clutter to my husband?
Make it easy for him by buying baskets and compartments for items. This will help a lot. I personally have gotten my husband to be super neat by going to the container store and buying all sorts of organizing items for the kitchen, bathroom, office, etc. As for those clipped coupons, make a “clipped coupon” file and put it in the kitchen or wherever you keep them. I have a nice brown wicker basket on top of my refrigerator that holds unsightly coupons, mail, etc… You can introduce him to the concept of organization even if he didn’t grow up that way. You just have to give him the tools to do so.
