I think you should make it a point to notice if he helped out. People appreciate it when their help is noticed and it encourages them to continue helping out. (It also feels kind of odd sometimes to anounce it…)
The same way how a mother would make it her business to notice if her child cleaned up the kitchen, she should notice if her husband helped. People like when their work is acknowledged, no matter their age.
BTW, the husband should mention it to his wife if she happens not to notice it once in a while. Why shouldn’t she know what you took the time to make things easier for her?
