The idea
Traditional marriages divide roles by gender; egalitarian marriages share responsibilities, and in about forty-five percent of opposite-sex marriages the wife earns about as much as or more than the husband.
In practice
Wives who are joint or primary earners still doing more housework and childcare.
Where people slip
Sharing housework goes with better relationship quality, and dissatisfaction depends on spouses' beliefs and communication.
