Do you believe husbands and wives should share bills, house chores, and responsibilities 50/50? Why or why not?

No I think husband and wife should share bills, house chores, and responsibilities equally, for instance house chores, wives are expected to do more house chores than husband reason is that, husbands are always very busy with work but I am not saying that he should not assist with the house chores, but they should not share it 50/50.

For responsibility and bills, like paying the children's school fee, paying house rent, and other things, I still, think they should not be shared 50/50, in some marriages, the husband earns more than the wife or the wife earns more than the husband, the person who earns more than each other should pay a higher bill than each other.

Marriage is all about cooperation. If the wife pays the bill for the house, she should not go outside and start telling people or her friends that she is the one who pays almost all the bills.

In your opinion, does “equal” always mean “fair” in marriage? Explain.

In my opinion, I don't think equal always means fair in marriage because if they should always share everything equally, the wife might not earn as the husband, so in marriage, equality doesn't always mean fairness.

If one partner earns more money or has a busier job, should the other take on more house chores?

Like I said before, if the wife has a job and the husband has a job as well, but the wife is always very busy due to her work, or she earns more than the husband, the husband should take more house chores, I know that it will be very hard for you to see a man that will always be doing house chores.

Let me take my home for example, my mummy is always very busy at work, and she goes to work very day and she returns every day at night, but my father goes to work twice in a week, this does not mean that my mum earn more than my father, but since he is always at home and his work is twice in a week, he always assist my mother in house chores, like cooking and washing clothes sometimes.

When both partner loves each other so much ❤️, they will not be looking at how to take more house chores than the other.

What are practical ways couples can balance responsibilities without feeling stressed or unfairly treated?

There is love in sharing, when both couples share responsibility like paying children's school fees and other household chores, both partners will not feel stressed or unfairly treated.

My advice to married couples

If you are a woman and you earn more than your husband, that does not give you the right to insult him or always leave the house chores for him; remember, he is still the head of the family.

And to the husband, if you are the one who provides everything in the family, that does not mean that you will leave all the chores for your wife, simply because she is just a housewife. Always help her out whenever you are not going to work.

The day that two people decided to become husband and wife, you guys are one already, so always share everything, both house chores, bills, and responsibilities.
