Equal Partnership

As it is true in many households, there is an imbalance between partner's household work. For the majority of people, it is usually the women who end up working the "double shift". Although this has been common throughout history, I think the time has come to break away from this unfair tradition. The work among a household should be equally divided up. The ideal of equal partnership should be practiced in every household no matter what the employment circumstances are. Although one (or both) of the household members work outside of the home should not determine who receives the majority of household work. Now that women have more economical freedom, we should be able to have a career, a family if so desired, and not have to perform all of the chores at home as well. If equal partnership was the social norm, then there would most likely be less stress on the women as well as a more enjoyable life. Not only would it make women more happy, but also make the other household members lives more fulfilling.
