Although women in particular desire equality, most men agree. In fact, a recent survey found “sharing household chores” now ranks third in importance on a list of items generally associated with successful marriages (with 62 percent saying sharing housework is very important to marital success, compared to 47 percent fifteen years ago), well ahead of adequate income (53 percent) and even having children (41 percent). Equally important, there are no significant differences in the views of men and women, whether single or married.13
