Who Really Gets the First Shower? (Here’s the Truth!)

You know what cracks me up? I’ve lost count of how many times a husband has told me, “Oh, this remodel’s really just for my wife. She’s the one who wants the fancy shower.” But let me tell you, nine times out of ten, when the dust settles and that new shower’s ready, who do you think jumps in first? Yep. The husband. And not just first—sometimes he won’t even let his wife have a turn for a while! They end up playfully fighting over it because it’s so practical, so comfortable, and honestly... so beautiful.

It happens every time.

So, why am I sharing this little secret? Because it says a lot about what a good remodel does for your home. It’s not just about looks. It’s about creating a space everyone actually wants to use.

Why This Actually Matters

Look, I get it. Remodeling a bathroom can feel like a big, maybe even indulgent, decision. But here’s why it’s worth thinking about:

• Safety comes first. Slippery tubs, high steps, cramped layouts—they’re just accidents waiting to happen, especially if you’re planning to age in place.
• It’s about function, not just pretty tile. A well-designed shower makes your mornings easier, your evenings more relaxing, and your bathroom just work better for your life.
• Resale value gets a bump. Let’s be real, updated bathrooms sell homes faster. Buyers see a modern shower and think, this place is taken care of.
• Hidden costs? Avoid them. Cutting corners now can mean leaks, mold, or worse down the road. Doing it right the first time saves you money and stress.

So yeah, a remodel might start as “for my wife” or “for my husband,” but really, it’s for everyone. It’s for the couple fighting over the shower because it’s that nice. It’s for peace of mind knowing it’s built right.

What Makes a Shower Everyone Loves?

Here’s what I see makes the biggest difference:

• A low-threshold entry – no more tripping over a tall tub wall.
• Built-in seating that’s actually sturdy and comfortable.
• Thoughtful storage for soaps, shampoos, all the stuff you use daily.
• Grab bars that blend right into the design (they’re not just for grandma anymore!).
• And, let’s be honest, the right showerhead setup can make it feel like a spa.

When those things come together? That’s when you get the husband saying, “I’ll just take the first shower to test it out...” and then you don’t see him for 45 minutes.

A Quick Story From a Happy Couple

I had a homeowner in Sugar Land tell me:

“Mitchell, I swear this was supposed to be my wife’s shower. But now? I’m the one who won’t get out of it. It’s just so easy and relaxing—I actually look forward to it every day.”

That right there’s the goal. A bathroom that feels like an upgrade to your life, not just your house.
