I am married to a Chinese lady and happy to do the chores, even if she isn't working. More often than not it is me who tells her to sit and relax. I do this because I want to. My way of showing my love, perhaps?

Living in China I know plenty of couples in which women do almost all the housework. If men want traditional lives then the wife should stay at home and not work. If she must work then he must share the household burden too. Why expect her to work and do housework while he works and sits doing nothing?
