Square taper bottom bracket installation

Hi
New to the forum and already gathered plenty of info.
But.... I'm changing out bottom bracket and the cup is being a pain but soaking in penetrating oil as I type.
I will get the bleeder out eventually!!
Anyway to stop the BB & cup sticking in the future should I grease the threads of both the BB & cup when reinstalling?
As I know to put grease on the crankset/crank arm and bolts.
I imagine the answer to be yes but I just want to make sure for peace of mind.
Thanks in advance
