It's fine with them, but the husband is still more likely to maintain financial matters. Either way, husbands and wives are finding some median in the distribution of housework and careers. The increasingly successful marriages may be linked to more equal partner relationships, but very little changes have been made in the intimacy level over the years. It's no secret that men tend to be less intimate of the two sexes. This can be explained in term of social norms and family organizations.
Husbands seem to want lower levels of intimate engagement than wives.
They tend to do less of the emotional and interactional work that intimacy requires. Well, women are running away from the conservative ways in which men didn't need to be as intimate and still keep a marriage. Well guys, it looks like you will have to learn to be intimate or learn to live alone. Instead, both man and wife live on the same level and share these roles. Careers play a major part as well.
