How can I encourage my partner to be more involved in housekeeping?

Unfortunately, one of the realties of marriage is that it's not all wine, roses, and romance. Unfortunately, somebody's got to sweep the floors, pay the bills, and clean the toilets. The question is - who? I am always amazed when couples come to me and talk and argue about how much each of them feel that they are contributing, saying, “That person needs to do more!” The truth is there are a certain amount of tasks and they have to be divided fairly. It's important to remember that you're both a team in your marriage, living in this household with a certain amount of chores that must be done. Sit down, hold hands, look at what needs to be done, volunteer for what each of you are willing to do. See what's left and then talk about them and divide them fairly.
