Shared earning/shared parenting marriage, also known as peer marriage, is a type of marriage where the partners at the outset agree to adhere to a model of shared responsibility for earning money, meeting the needs of children, doing household chores, and taking recreation time in near equal fashion across these four domains.
 It refers to an intact family formed in the relatively equal earning and parenting style from its initiation.
 Peer marriage is distinct from shared parenting, as well as the type of equal or co-parenting that father's rights activists in the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere seek after a divorce in the case of marriages, or unmarried pregnancies/childbirths, not set up in this fashion at the outset of the relationship or pregnancy.
 A number of books have addressed various aspects of this type of marriage, including "Equally Shared Parenting" by Marc and Amy Vachon, "The Four-Thirds Solution" by Stanley Greenspan and "Getting to 50/50" by Sharon Meers and Joanna Strober.
