We do a Sunday reset and divide tasks for the week. It reduces resentment because expectations are clear.

Write down every chore. People underestimate invisible work until it is on paper.

Fair does not always mean 50/50 tasks. It means both people get rest. Compare free time and energy, not only work hours.
