This is the result of a study in Norway, which resulted that couples who are in equal positions are worse off with divorce.

A recent study by Norwegian researchers has concluded that sharing housework on an equal footing with a spouse may not necessarily lead to harmonious relationships, on the contrary.

Indeed, it seems that gender equality does not work so well, according to recent studies. This is no wonder, because men simply do not care about the rule and cleanliness at home. Researchers say floor washing, housekeeping, washing dishes, clothes, has a huge impact on couple relationships.

Analyzing the data of thousands of Norwegian couples, researchers noted that divorce rates were higher (about 50 percent more) in couples sharing housework than couples in which a woman does more work. This is because men always make an excuse to leave their main role at home. And, moreover, since they all share jobs equally, the opportunity is "to breach the leg" of the partner.

What has been observed from the study is the fact that sharing responsibilities equally at home does not give much pleasure, especially men. Among the divided couples who have become part of the survey, it has been found that the value was about 50 percent higher than the rest when housework is only the wife.

According to scholars, in most marriages are women who do most of their home work. In 11 percent of cases women do almost all housework and in 60 percent of cases, women do more housework.

Despite the findings, the results of this study, in fact, conflict with the previous ones, according to which people are happier when doing homework together.

Who shares the housework?

Homework was equally divided only in one-fourth of the reviewed marriages. This group are the youngest and the richest couples. Here things are shared equally, because the woman works full time. However, even when she works full time, at 65 percent of couples aged 30 to 49, she is still more inclined to do more homework than her spouse.
