Double responsibilities and loss of interest in sex

In his second-rate book, The Second Shift, Professor Arly Hochschild asserts (no surprise) that a married working woman also performs most of the domestic work. Thus, these women work at home on the second shift. Studies, however, show that more and more men are involved in household chores, but usually they perform what is a grateful job to bathe children or entertain them.
Hosshild writes that both men and women tend to regard the problem of double burden as a purely female problem, although it affects men. Women who work two shifts are tired, and fatigue makes them indifferent to the husband lying next to her in bed. Lack of interest in sex can equally be caused by a secret sense of resentment, and in a house in which a woman works nonstop, strained relations are created between the spouses.
According to the results of the research, the insufficient participation of the husband in work on the home and childcare leads to divorce or, at least, to the emergence of thoughts about divorce. One of the groups of researchers was able to even quantify the effect that the husband's help in the home is on the satisfaction with the marriage experienced by the woman. They found that every kind of household duties performed at least 50 percent reduces by about 3 percent the woman's desire for divorce.
