Couples who share housework duties run a higher risk of divorce than couples where the woman does most of the chores, a Norwegian study sure to get tongues wagging has shown.
The divorce rate among couples who shared housework equally was around 50 per cent higher than among those where the woman did most of the work.
"The more a man does in the home, the higher the divorce rate," Thomas Hansen, co-author of the study entitled Equality in the Home, said.
Researchers found no, or very little, cause-and-effect. Rather, they saw in the correlation a sign of "modern" attitudes.
"Modern couples are just that, both in the way they divide up the chores and in their perception of marriage" as being less sacred, Mr Hansen said, stressing it was all about values.

The study - which also looked at the emotional wellbeing of divorcees - revealed that men reported greater feelings of isolation and loneliness than women, even up to six years after divorce.
After two years of divorce, 24 per cent of men said they felt isolated, compared with 12 per cent of women. After six years, more men (19 per cent) than women (12 per cent) still reported feelings of isolation.
Meanwhile, 35 per cent of men reported feeling ''very lonely'' two years after divorce, compared with 25 per cent of women and after six years, 26 per cent of men still reported loneliness compared with 20 per cent of women.

Family law firms in the US are marketing themselves as specialists to a niche market, catering to the interests of male clients. Specifically, they’re appealing to some men’s fear of getting a bad deal out of a divorce.
The Wall Street Journal in the US ran a piece that addressed the rise of ‘divorce for men’ law firms; these businesses are taking out advertising in men’s magazines as well as TV and radio spots with campaigns that position the firms as ‘putting men first’. One US based firm has even developed a mobile phone app to be a men’s divorce source. Address of the bookmark: http://www.wattsmccray.com.au/blog/men-divorce-men-family-law-firms-marketing-niche
