Roles and division of labor in the family Reshape the balance of the marital relationship

With the progress of society and the change of concepts, the role and division of labor between husband and wife have attracted more and more attention. In the past, housework was often seen as a natural responsibility for women. However, in this day and age, this notion is gradually being broken. Women also have their own careers and pursuits, and they should not be constrained by family chores.

However, in real life, many families still have an unreasonable division of labor. Men tend to see housework as their wives' responsibilities, while they enjoy the conveniences of the family with peace of mind. Such an attitude will not only lead to conflicts and estrangement between husband and wife, but also disregard for women's rights and interests. In fact, housework is not a simple chore, it involves all aspects of family life, such as taking care of children, taking care of household chores, handling finances, and so on. These jobs require a significant investment of time and energy, and have a profound impact on women's physical and mental health.

For the sake of family harmony and stability, husband and wife should share household chores, divide labor reasonably, and support each other. This kind of joint participation not only helps to reduce the burden on women, but also helps to enhance the interaction and emotional connection between couples.

In China, the rising divorce rate is not due to changes in the international political economy, but rather from the trivial aspects of daily life. Bai Yansong once pointedly pointed out in a program that these seemingly insignificant little things can actually wear off the feelings between husband and wife over time. He describes scenes that often occur in the family, such as "Why are these socks not washed?".I came back in a circle, why hasn't this bowl been washed yet?Why don't you fold the quilt?These seemingly small contradictions can actually lead to conflicts between husband and wife, and even lead to divorce.

Many women take on too many responsibilities in their marriages, not only to be busy with work, but also to take care of the family and children. Men, on the other hand, are often like giant babies and do not participate in household chores and childcare. Such an unequal division of labor can lead to excessive stress among women, resulting in anxiety and depression, which in turn affects the stability of the relationship and family. A typical example is the men who are jokingly referred to as "giant baby husbands". These men tend to be extremely selfish and naïve in the family, and they are unwilling to take on any family responsibilities, even during their wives' pregnancies. They can't seem to understand that the family is a place that needs to be run by both parties, and everyone has an obligation to contribute to this home.

Husbands and wives should respect, understand and support each other and face the ups and downs of life together. As said in "Youth Pi": "Between husband and wife, that is, when you are tired, I will carry you for a ride, and when I am tired, you will carry me for a ride." If your back is tired, you can change your shoulders and carry it for you for a while. "This is the true meaning of marriage, and both husband and wife need to support each other and move forward together.

For the sake of family harmony and stability, husband and wife should share household chores, divide labor reasonably, and support each other. Take love as the soil, water it with your heart, and jointly protect a harmonious and beautiful, happy and long-lasting home. Such a home not only gives people warmth and comfort, but also is a source of strength and faith.
