[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I both stay fit.  Mostly for ourselves but it definitely has a positive impact on our relationship.  Expecting someone to change is probably different and not reaistic.  Fitness and being attracted to my partner is important for both of us and I don't think we would have married each other if we didn't meet that criteria.[/quote]\

So you both work, and both share child and house related tasks pretty equally?[/quote]

We both work.  Her job generates 3x what mine does in earnings though.  I try to get to 50% of child and household tasks but it would be disengenuous for me to say that.  I have a list of things that I knock out daily including making beds, general pick up, dishes, putting away laundry, doing homework with the kid, cleaning the kitchen after dinner etc.  There's little doubt that I should be doing more.[/quote]

Wow she outearns you and does more than you around the house. You must be great in bed, or she must not care about the imbalance.[/quote]

Its not like I'm a slouch in the earnings department.  I'm advanced degreed and earn well into the six figure range - she's just really done well for herself.  We discuss chore balance periodicaly and I'm always willing to jump in and do more.  She says that I'm the best she's ever been with but I'm sure all women tell their men that;)[/quote]
