We cook almost every meal together, plan our meals together, and ordinarily do our grocery shopping and laundry together too. My fiance does most of the rest of the house cleaning...I'm in medical school and don't have much free time. We decided that it was more important that my free time is spent having quality time with him rather than doing housework, so he does almost all of the other chores. In the summer we have a garden and I take care of that and he takes care of mowing the lawn.

When we were both employed it was equal, but now that I don't work I do more. I wanted to improve my cooking skills so now I finally have the time to spend shopping and preparing nice meals; I do all the cooking, and he washes dishes.

We have a maid service so neither of us does housework!

We each do our own laundry. I do most of the cleaning around the house. He takes care of the pool and takes out the garbage. He mows the lawn, but if he has to do any trimming, he clips and I pick them up. I cook dinner and do the dishes. He empties the dishwasher. I do the groccery shopping. We do big projects together, for instance painting a room. In the end I probably do a little bit more, but I don't work as much as he does so I feel like it evens out in the end :-)
