OK, so I'm not the only one who fights the most with her spouse about the chores. Whew! I knew it was a major issue. Well, it turns out one of the most crucial issues when it comes to marriage success is the chores.

In a study just released by the Pew Foundation entitled, "I like hugs. I like kisses. But what I really love is help with the dishes," researchers found some 62% of adults say sharing household chores is very important to marital success.

On this question, there's virtually no difference of opinion between men and women; or between older adults and younger adults; or between married people and singles.

In the public's ranking of keys to a successful marriage, "sharing household chores" still trails far behind the perennial leader — "faithfulness" --which is rated as very important by 93% of survey respondents, according to the survey.

But household chores are now nipping at the heels of the second-place item – "happy sexual relationship," which draws a very-important rating from 70% of survey respondents. It also beat out "adequate income" in the rankings.
