For each possible task there are differing notions of how often it should be done, how thoroughly it should be done, and what 'weight' it should be given with respect to what other task(s) it is 'equal' to. All of this becomes fuel for bickering about who's not doing their fair share.<br /><br />Add this to the numbers of women who follow the Lysistrata school of male behavior modification and it's a recipe for stress and misery.

That is to say, couples less likely to follow the traditional division of labor are also less likely to take a traditional approach to the sanctity of marriage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
