The Key to a Happy Marriage: Housework or Kids
Chore-sharing was cited as very important by 62 percent of respondents, up from 47 percent in 1990.
I know that some pundits see these results as a sign of the deterioration of marriage (not to mention the hedonism and pure selfishness of Generation X). I view the results differently. To me, this study says the ideals of the women's movement have become mainstream, as more women and men are desiring 50-50 marriages.
Also, there is a probably a dose of reality here. Studies consistently show that marital satisfaction drops after having children. Maybe if couples divvied up the household chores more equally, their appreciation for their mates would grow?
