It's from a Bruno Mars song where one lyric is "I'll catch a grenade for you"

The joke is that if a person seriously means that about someone, then they should do minor chores around the house without being prompted by their significant other.

People have different definitions of "need" there are people that won't let w single dish sit without cleaning it and there are people that won't do dishes until every single one is dirty. Unless these things are actually discussed they're never going to find that place. It has nothing to do with how much they care.

I used to be a let the dishes pile up person and then I learned to avoid it by being over vigilant.
