It's pretty even around our place. She does what she's good at and I do what I'm good at, and we both do some of it together, like cooking, which we both love. I wouldn't say anyone works harder than anyone else. If I'm asked to do something she would ordinarily do, I do it without complaining same for her.

She usually handles floors and furniture, and I handle laundry and yard & vehicle maintenance.

Occassionally, she'll be caught up at work and I'll take on floors & furniture, or I'll get caught up and she'll mow the yard or do a load of laundry.

Evenness isn't necessarily in how things are divided so much that each of us has pretty equal amounts of leisure/chore time, and each of us is willing to step in for the other, and nobody expects anybody to take on the role of housemaid or servant.
