When I was battling a chronic illness, he carried the weight of the entire house. Every once in a while, he does the dishes or laundry (when I've had a really busy, long week) to help me keep up. Conversely, I'll pull the weeds, mow the lawn, and fix the roof (he hates heights) when he's busy to help him keep up.
Couples run into trouble when there is no clear division of duties, or one is carrying all the weight in the house.
Men are very easy creatures to please, in all honesty. Cook for them, make love to them, give them a little time everyday to relax and unwind, and they are happy to do whatever you ask. Not complicated.

This wife agrees with your assessment.
I suspect, also, that a factor in these marriages in which the housework chores are shared is that the wife is a whiner.

Now wait just one cottinpickin minute there Tex. We are complex creatures with deep emotional needs. I think...
I would suspect that your chances of divorce are pretty close to zero as well.
Are you sure you are not my wife? lol She is the same as you.

That really is pretty much it. It comes down to three things: food, fun (sex), and football (time to sit back, relax, and escape from the world for a bit).
Agreed. I think another aspect to this too is that if a husband is splitting the chores, it is likely the wife has an equally demanding job and pay which can make exiting the marriage a mich more viable scenario.
I tell you I’ve had an interesting experience this last year.
I tore my rotation cuff sumpin ugly and haven’t had to do much I. The way of dishes this past six months.
Annoying as he’ll, as I like doing the dishes and keeping the kitchen clean to my standard.
As it is, I’m probably going to have to spend a grand on New bowls for the burners. They haven’t been kept clean the way I like and Viking ain’t cheap.
Damn bowels and burner plates ain’t in in good shape.
Sure enough, I’ll replace them and learn we are moving.
Hope not. luv this home and would rather redo to whole kitchen.
There goes 60 large....or more.
