With all the fuss made about kids completing a couple's relationship or bringing a sense of purpose and focus to marriage, it should probably come as no surprise that it is in fact shared housework that makes the difference between "peh" marriages and those filled with joy (or at least minimal resentment).
Of course, once you have kids the amount of cooking, cleaning, and toilet cleaning goes up dramatically. Cutesy little jokes about socks on the floor aren't delivered with the same deadly angry seriousness that stepping on a small sharp Lego at 2am evokes.
Also important? A good sex life, shared interests, and a nice house. In other news, women don't like being told they have a fat ass.
