"I do!"
Not in the sense of the cartoon of course; bad habits nip at everyone's heels, don't they? And marriage shouldn't be limited to heterosexuals.
I find marriage to be spiritually uplifting. Going out into the world as one with another, joined forever with a promise and in love, allows successfully married couples to experience life in a beautiful way. Raise a family and build some memories.
I will love my wife until my dying breath and I am a better person for it. She's got my back I've got hers...

Funny, but in the real world it's traditionally married households where you'll be most likely to find hired domestic help. :)

Is this actually true, statistically ? I mean, is it actually true in USA that on the average women spend more time working -- including household-chores and income-generating work than men do, while men spend more time for hobbies, relaxation and personal needs ?
I ask in genuine curiosity, I've not seen any recent studies on time-use of average people in USA.
Here in Norway it used to be true, but hasn't been true over the last 5-10 years. Women do still do more chores, but that's more than offset by them doing less income-generating work and overall men have no more "free time" than women do.
