My wife cooks and I do the dishes.

Regardless of a family run by two people, is it necessary to care so much about housework? You must cook, I must wash the dishes, or I must sweep the floor, you must mop the floor. What if the woman has her period today? What if that person is ill? Do you want to wake him up from bed and wash the dishes?

Rules are dead, people are alive. If you are really tired today and don't want to move, just tell your partner. You should do more today, and I will do more tomorrow. You must understand each other before you can continue.
