corne, I think it really comes down to the personalities involved in the marriage. When one first gets married, each is happy to do the other's bidding for 'love'(?). Then as you grow to know each other better, and the reality of survival takes over with homes and children etc, you realise each others weaknesses and strengths and, if you are lucky, one will compliment the other.
Probably be some arguments if the bloke thinks he should be in charge of the finances and makes a mess of it, or the woman thinks SHE should be doing the sums and makes a mess of it, but eventually if each are sane enough (and humble enough!) they realise who is best at what.
That's when you get a good partnership going. Recognise the strengths and weaknesses and balance it accordingly.
I buy the property - hub earns the money.
I'm a lousy housekeeper - he does the washing up.
BUT THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS WHEN
He's been at home, no work so - I earned the money
He managed house renovations - I did the washing up
