The 60/
40 split is a form of relationship dynamic, statistically one of the most, if not THE most stable relationship dynamic. It is where
the man is the primary earner and pays 60% of the bills, and the woman is the secondary earner who pays
40% of the bills. In terms of chores and childcare, they are split evenly among the couple. This is not to be confused with the 40/60 split where
the man pays 40% and the woman pays 60%.
Statistically, a relationship with a male primary earner, female secondary earner, and equal sharing of household responsibilities, is the most stable - with low rates of adultery, low rates of
divorce, and high rates of reported marital satisfaction. This is because it strikes a balance with the best of both worlds between traditional and egalitarian relationships, meeting it in the middle.
Kids may or may not be put in daycare, depending on the couple'
s preferences. Sometimes the
government may choose paid transferable parental leave, which is also a good option.
