For husbands, equality in performance of in-home roles contributed significantly towards burn-out.
The survey instrument was administered in-person, in-home in the second half of 1996.
The first factor includes chores carried out in the home, such as cooking, ironing, and laundry (henceforth ' in-home roles ').
As far as social roles are concerned, levels of perceived equality were relatively high, followed by financial roles and then by in-home roles.
Previous research has found that even when in-home roles are equally divided, the feelings generated by such co-operation are not necessarily positive.
It is difficult and costly to conduct in-home interviews.
Following this process, even if in-home roles are ultimately divided equally, a residual tension may lead to burn-out and reduce the husband's marital satisfaction.
In all, this implies a substantial burden associated with not having in-home water connections.
