Is it possible to make the transition from messy person to a tidy person?

Or is that something like the gay that you are born with or not?

My wife and I are both messy. Not horrible, but like a 5/10. I want to move us to a solid 8 and stay there. Is that possible? Have any of you ever made that transiyand stuck with it long term?

If you are always keeping things clean, the wife will feel shame if she then dirties it. Lead by example.

Well it's how I feel at least. If my wife leaves a room immaculate, I feel guilty leaving a single thing out.

We set a family goal to clean the living room every night. It's helped so far.

I'm more of a clean-as-you go type and my wife is the clean-all-once type.
