Here's How The Happiest Couples Split Up Household Chores
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Of all the things couples fight about, division of household labor is often near the top of the list. Laura Danger, a Chicago-based coach who facilitates workshops for couples seeking a more equitable division of domestic labor, told HuffPost that it’s “surprisingly easy” for couples to “slip into antiquated gender roles” when they move in together or have kids. It’s not just doing the dishes in the sink, “it’s showing your partner that you value their time and want to care for them” by getting them done, Danger said. “Couples that prioritize flexibility recognize that just because a chore has been assigned to one person does not mean that the other partner can’t jump in and help when needed,” Pirasteh said. “Everyone’s family life will look different, and when dividing up domestic labor, you don’t need to aim for 50/50,” Danger said.
