夫妻双方都进得厨房会更美满

“At least one-third of men never help their wives/partners with chores,” according to the BCG survey. Where do men do the least housework? Japan. Indian men do the most. And American men? They come somewhere in between, though closer to India than Japan.
BCG的调查显示“至少1/3的男人从不帮忙做家务”。世界上哪里的男人做家务最少呢？日本。而印度人做得最多。那美国人呢？他们处在中间，更接近印度人而不是日本人。
   
By the way, chores cause more domestic arguments than anything else except money–at least in the U.S., the BCG survey suggests. In Europe, BCG found, chores are the No. 1 trigger of domestic arguments.
另外，BCG的调查显示：家务活是仅排在金钱之后，最能造成家庭纠纷的---至少在美国是这样。而在欧洲，BCG调查得出，家务活在造成家庭纠纷上处于首位。
   
That doesn’t surprise author Meers. “Among people over 40,” she says, “two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women. And studies show that 80% of the fights are about housework.”
这些数据并不让密尔兹感到惊讶。她说：“在40岁以上的人群中，2/3的离婚都是由女人提出的。并且研究表明80%的冲突都是由家务引起的。”
