Dennis Prager critiques the 50/50 marriage model, arguing that equal division of income and chores often breeds resentment through scorekeeping rather than joy. He contrasts this with traditional roles where men lead and women manage the home, citing callers like Roy and Donnie who found success by avoiding rigid equality or restoring leadership. While acknowledging some couples thrive with shared tasks, Prager concludes that ignoring natural gender differences undermines marital stability, urging partners to prioritize clear responsibilities and quality time over perfect balance.

One Degree of Andy00:01:26
On today's episode of Timeless Wisdom.
You know, I cook one way and she cooks another, which is one of the downsides in our marriage because I put on 50 pounds.
You put on 50 pounds because you cook?
I cook and she cooks a different way, but we taught each other how we cook, and we both cook very well.
I see.
You put on 50 pounds in four years?
Yeah.
You need more yard work.
See, that's your problem.
You're sharing the yard work.

Faith Filled Conversations00:15:28
Talk about it a bit.
This crying in the morning thing, this depression, you know, let's get that fixed.
That's what men think, isn't it?
What?
Unless you've got the answer, unless you can say, oh, I know this bloke in the Essex Road who could fix that, then there's no point bothering.
How do you rate women so well?
I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.
I love him.
I love him.
And I don't care what you think.
I love him for the man he wants to be, and I love him for the man that he almost is.
What do people have rows about him?
Money, sex, sex.
Mommy, he wants, she doesn't want.
She wants, he doesn't want.
Women have always been a big problem to me, Dr. Fosband.
Are you listening, Doctor?
Yes, yes, yes.
Go on, go on.
This is the male female hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
Every week at this time, I devote an hour to men and women.
I call it the male female hour because it's even deeper than just man woman.
Man woman is the higher part of our nature, male female.
Is the basic part.
Hi, everybody.
This is Dennis Prager, and today's subject is the notion that a marriage should be 50 50.
This is one of the great movements of my time, ushered in by the baby boomer generation.
You know how I feel about my generation's intellectual innovations, so I shan't go afield on that one.
But that has been a very basic one, and I'm sure that many, many marriages have in very With a very good will, with a desire to have a good marriage, embrace the idea of 50 50.
In fact, if you did, and what is 50 50?
I was going to say, in fact, if you did, I want you to call me.
In fact, I do.
This is one time where I invite calls very quickly because I want to know how you have accepted or if you even tried the 50 50.
50 50 is very simple to explain.
We share income and we share duties.
That's it.
Very simple.
And it makes a lot of sense in theory.
If we're both going to work for the income, then we should both do the dishes.
We should both make the beds.
We should both diaper the baby equal number of times.
Or I handle the urination and you handle the defecation.
However, you split the duties.
No pun intended.
But it came out anyway.
In fact, that was a pun too.
All right, we'll leave it at that.
Anyway, that's what I want to talk to you about.
Because in theory, it sounds great.
But I think in practice, it has probably caused more tension in marriages than it has joy.
Because what happens is that you keep scorecards.
Well, I did the dishes yesterday.
You should be doing them today.
I vacuumed on Wednesday.
Uh, it's, it's, uh, it's now, uh, Saturday.
You should be vacuuming.
Whatever, whatever it is, it's, it's gotta keep the score.
If it's going to be 50 50, by definition, you're gonna have to keep score.
And then one will resent, uh, does it, do you, uh, do you pull?
Your weight in the marriage.
That is why guys so often have women share the dinner bill when they're dating.
This is a mentality that has developed among many men and women, young, middle aged now.
Everything is 50 50.
1 8 Prager 776.
1 8 P R A G E R 776.
And that is 877 243.
7776.
Do you know a couple that has attempted 50 50?
Did you?
Has it worked out?
50 50 income, 50 50 house duties.
Because you read all the time about the feminist lament that, well, by golly, she now works outside of the house and is still the primary caretaker of the house.
What a bum deal.
Well, I so don't think that 50 50 works.
That I would argue something that you may not expect from me.
And I will, in this case, I will even personalize it.
I would rather be the house husband and house and home maker full time than have a 50 50 deal.
I so want 100, or not, well, 90, if you will.
I so want to be responsible for one specific thing as a man.
That's men.
Need to feel that they are responsible for some achievement.
And I would be, I would not feel demeaned if it so worked out.
If I were married to a woman who made a lot more money than I, I'd be very practical.
You earn the money, I'll take care of the home.
But the notion of everything 50 50, 50 50 income, 50 50 house duties, it may work.
And by the way, if it works for you, I want you to say so.
I want it to work for you.
If anything, my view is whatever works in a marriage, I want it to work.
That's my bottom line.
But when I address specific issues, I think that some, which sound good, cause more tension than they do love and joy between a couple.
50 50 is an example of something that I believe causes more tension.
That does not mean that a man can never help in the house.
Of course not.
And it does not mean that a woman cannot work outside of the house.
No.
But 50 50.
Is 50 50.
All right.
Let's take your calls here.
And in some cases, it works.
And I'll begin with one just to show you that I want to be fair on this.
But let me put it to you this way.
Since my bottom line is what can help your marriage, if it works for you, I don't want you to change it.
In other words, it's not a moral principle, it's instrumental, not moral.
In other words, what works?
I think that for most people it doesn't work.
But if it does work for you, keep going.
I don't want to say that in advance.
All righty.
And let's go to the one that works immediately.
And that is in Irving, Texas.
Irving, Texas is known for 50 50 marriages.
Hi, Roy.
Dennis Prager, thanks for calling.
My pleasure.
Thanks for letting me through.
Yes, sir.
I'm fortunate that this is my second marriage.
We've been married for four years.
We both cook together.
We both enjoy doing lawn work together, yard work.
We clean the house together.
Now, when you say you clean it together, you mean at the same time?
Well, typically we'll set aside one hour on Saturday morning, and with only two of us, I run the vacuum and dust, and she cleans the bathrooms, and we clean the kitchen together.
And that doesn't always work that way because sometimes I work on Saturday mornings.
And, you know, we have a lot of give and take in it.
We don't hold a scorecard, as you say.
You know, it's like when we cook.
You know, I cook one way and she cooks another, which is one of the downsides in our marriage because I put on 50 pounds.
You put on 50 pounds because you cook?
I cook and she cooks a different way, but we taught each other how we cook and we both cook very well.
I see.
You put on 50 pounds in four years?
Yeah.
You need more yard work.
See, that's your problem.
You're sharing the yard work.
All right, I thank you kindly.
All right, well, it's been four years and a second marriage, and obviously they're not having kids in the second marriage.
It would have mentioned that.
And so that's really where a lot of the 50 50 problem arises in any event.
But look, if it works, it works.
Although he seemed to suggest that there would be a lot of flexibility.
Donnie in Houston, Texas.
Hi, Donnie Dennis Prager.
Hello, thank you for taking my call.
Thank you for calling.
I, like your first caller, was married once and now married again, and my experience is very different.
In my first marriage, it was 50 50.
We both worked, we both shared duties, and what I ended up with was a man who wasn't my leader and I couldn't respect.
So eventually, after 14 years, the marriage did fall apart because the man who wasn't the leader decided he couldn't respect.
Be a father and support us and left.
Now, my second marriage, I do the dishes, I cook the food, but I do so because I choose and I want to.
And it makes me very happy taking care of this man who is my leader and whom I respect a great deal.
And although sometimes, yeah, I wish, you know, come and help a little bit, but at the end of the day, I am much more happy.
And so is he because even though he doesn't expect me to do these things, because the norm today is.
You know, share duties, do 50 50, anything else, if he asked me to do them, he probably would feel guilty.
All right, all right.
It sounds good.
I'll have some reactions when we come back.
This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.
We live in a time where the moment you question the narrative, you're told to stop thinking and start complying.
That's why what Angel is doing matters.
With eye opening documentaries like Thank You, Dr. Fauci, and RFK Legacy, Angel is willing to explore the issues others avoid.
In a culture shaped by gatekeepers, Angel offers something rare a platform for truth seeking storytelling that isn't constrained by fear or conformity.

Now, back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom.
Dennis Prager here.
This is the male female hour.
And it's a very tough subject because it sounds so good.
And I mean it.
And, you know, one of the tricks in life is not to always ascribe to people you differ with bad motives.
I think a lot of people have very good motives.
On this issue and want marriages to work, I certainly do.
And if 50 50 works for your marriage, you absolutely should pursue it.
And I mean that.
This is not in any way A, I'm not compromising with any values, and B, I am not patronizing you.
That is what I believe.
If it works, frankly, I think if just about anything works, for a given marriage, I don't believe in an open marriage, so if you say it works, To wife swapping and husband swapping.
I don't agree with that because of moral grounds.
But within the bounds of the ethical and the moral, if it works, then do it.
But my argument this hour of the male female hour is that for a lot, for more people, in my opinion, for more people than not, 50 50 doesn't work and causes tension because people then start to keep a list and then they get angry, they resent.
Well, but I did X yesterday.
Why aren't you doing X today?
Or why aren't you doing Y?
Because I do X, you do Y.
I do the dishes and you do the beds.
And you read articles and you read the literature, so many women are particularly annoyed because they work outside the home and did expect, therefore, that half the home work be done by the man.
But most guys pay lip service to that ideal when they're in college because that is the home of.
Utopian thinking, and therefore say, Oh, I'm totally for 50 50.
And then they get married, and then they become a guy.
They revert to male nature, which is why it's called the male female hour.
Now, regarding the last call, obviously, most of us don't use the terminology leader, but for those for whom it works, that's fine.
But I will use terminology that is more modern or more contemporary, and that is being able to look up to your man.
Women want to do that.
Men want to love their woman and cherish their woman and protect their woman.
And a woman, that's not the same verbiage for a woman to a man, which is part of the 50 50 battle was, oh, everything he feels toward her, she should feel toward him, and vice versa.
But it doesn't work that way unless you believe the ultimate 50 50 principle that men and women are basically the same, which is the genesis of all of the nonsense that arose in the 60s and 70s.
1A Prager 776, and in Cyprus, California.
It's Paul.
Hello, Paul Dennis Prager.
Hi, Dennis.
Thank you for taking my call.
Thank you for calling.
Dennis, you hit a major reason why my marriage ended in divorce.
She believed in the 50 50.
She was raised in that kind of theology, and I wasn't.
I was taught that love is sacrifice, and you can measure how much someone loves you by how much they're willing to sacrifice for you.
In the 50 50 arrangement, there's no sacrificing.
One person is doing something simply because the other person did something.
And when you keep score, There is no one person getting up on another where a sacrifice takes place.
For example, if she cooked me dinner, she would tell me, Now you do the dishes because I cooked you dinner.
But I would always tell her, No, I'm doing the dishes because I love you and I want to rest.
You cooked me dinner because you love me and you want me to be healthy.
Not because one pissed the other, but because of that, and because by nature men tend to forget, women tend to keep the memory of the score a little more alive.
Eventually, the marriage collapsed because we never learned as a couple to make sacrifices for one another.
The 50-50 Marriage Myth00:07:14
All right, all right.
There you go.
There's a case where it didn't work.
I happen to believe that's why this is such an important subject and somewhat complex.
I do believe in the concept of a contract.
I guess it comes in part from being a Jew, and in Jewish marriages, that is what it's called.
It's called a contract.
It's very, it's very, it's almost like a deal, which I happen to think is a good thing.
I like that.
I don't want to base everything just on the notion of love because love fluctuates, but a deal doesn't.
A deal is permanent, or at least, I mean, permanent so long as you stay married, and in Judaism, divorce is allowed.
But there is a contract called a ketubah, which the man gives the woman.
I owe you this, you owe me this.
I mean, it's ancient stuff, but the concept is good.
So I do believe that we owe each other things.
I just don't believe that the owing is on housework and diaper cleaning, although I must say I happen to have loved diaper cleaning.
There's no rhyme or reason to it.
I am not grossed out by it, and I thought it was a riot.
I have one video of me doing it, which I cherish.
But that's a separate issue.
Nevertheless, I see, I actually think that an ideal is really where one does become the primary breadwinner and one does the primary housework.
That's the ideal.
It can't always work.
I fully acknowledge that.
Usually it's the man, but as I said to you, and we're all just giving our own experiences and opinions here, I would rather be a full time homemaker than a 50 50 person.
Where I took care, if I did marry somebody who made millions of dollars, I'm not going to say, you know, give up the job so that we can both work fine.
And believe me, see, I happen to think that it is an underrated form of work, homemaking.
And that's underrated, A, in its value.
We should do that a separate time.
But not only is it underrated in its value, That somehow going to an office is on a higher social level for some reason than taking care of a home.
I don't understand that for the life of me.
But I'll go even further.
Even in sheer enjoyment of life, the fact is that in many cases you have time to read, certainly as the kids get older.
You have time to read, you have time to listen to talk radio.
You know how many of my listeners are female?
Half of my listeners are female.
And a lot of you are at home.
And I am your intellectual company because your three year old just can't discuss the meaning of life quite as well as I can.
And so I am in your life, and you have this time.
Your husband probably doesn't have this time.
So there's a lot to commend itself.
I could live that life.
I believe I could live that life.
But I could not live, and I'm being only open.
I may be dead wrong, and that's fine.
But there's not right or wrong here.
I'm just offering the problems of 50 50.
Where you work it out, God bless you.
But I think in most cases it has led to much more tension than joy.
Back in a moment on the male female hour, this is Dennis Prager.
This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.
We live in a time where the moment you question the narrative, you're told to stop thinking and start complying.
That's why what Angel is doing matters.
With eye opening documentaries like Thank You, Dr. Fauci, and RFK Legacy, Angel is willing to explore the issues others avoid.
In a culture shaped by gatekeepers, Angel offers something rare, a platform.
Now, back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom.
Alrighty, everybody, you're listening to the Dennis Prager Show, and the 50 50 question is the subject on the male female hour.
Does 50 50 work?
I did the dishes yesterday, you do them today.
Of course, there are 50 50s that can work.
See, I really need to be fair to myself.
I do believe in dividing duties, where one is predominantly in charge of the home and one is predominantly in charge outside of the home.
I do believe in that.
In other words, I believe in 50 50 in the sense that you both have to make the house and family work.
Of course, I believe that.
But the 50 50 that I find problematic is different.
It's where we do the same things 50 50, not different things 50 50.
And let me say on behalf of guys out there, because I find myself often in the position of explaining men, because guys are often very self conscious or even afraid to talk about their nature to their wives, which is a very, very real problem, and another subject for another time.
But guys need to feel that they are appreciated for something.
That is uniquely theirs.
It theoretically could be painting the house.
It doesn't matter what it is.
But that is our, and now women, or at least feminists, not women, will dismiss that as, oh, the fragile male ego.
You know, I'll tell you why that disturbs me.
Not because I'm a man, it disturbs me because of the lack of self awareness on the part of any female who says that.
Because she doesn't have quote unquote fragile areas.
Only men have fragile quote unquote areas?
The idea is just absurd.
And it is, society works out best where men feel that they have had their maleness expressed and where women have had their femaleness expressed.
But in a society that makes war against the notion of Of masculinity and femininity.
There's nothing to express.
There's just humanity to express.
Expressing Masculinity and Femininity00:06:49
There are no more men and women.
There are just humans.
In fact, there aren't even humans.
There are just living beings.
Earth citizens.
All righty.
Let's go to some more of our calls here and your calls, actually.
Back to Texas and Grapevine and Wendy.
Hi, Wendy.
Dennis Prager.
Hi, Dennis.
How are you doing?
Well, thank you, Wendy.
It's an honor to speak to you.
Thank you.
The reason I was calling is because, you know, I tried to do this 50 50 thing for, we've been married for seven years.
And I finally decided to stop working and stay with the baby.
And my husband's working.
And I'm very grateful for that opportunity because a lot of moms don't get to do that.
And I guess where I struggle with is this whole, I guess I'm still viewing it as 50 50 in some ways, but he gets to leave work at 5 o'clock, he's done.
And he comes home, plops his butt on the couch, watches TV.
You know, whatever, whatever he does.
And I'm still working till 11 o'clock at night, you know, putting the kids to bed, doing everything.
And it's not until I, you know, feel like I'm nagging.
What has he done from 5 to 11?
Pretty much just his own thing.
I mean, watches sitcoms, computer, that's it.
And I find myself, A, feeling guilty because, okay, I'm the home, you know, character.
Yeah, but it wasn't like you were off from 9 to 5.
You weren't on vacation from 9 to 5 yourself.
Right, exactly.
So, I mean, I think that you're right, though.
My father, I talk to him all the time, and he goes, You know, you need to be a person because you love him.
You want to cook and clean because you love him, not because, you know.
Yeah, but no, well, you know, it's very hard for me because the last thing I want to do is add any difficulty in your situation.
I want you to, for things to work out, but I just need to say to men here.
If you spend from 5 p.m. till bedtime just doing your own thing, it strikes me as, to say the least, problematic.
I mean, why did you marry?
To be alone on your own the whole time you're at home?
We'll be back in a moment.
You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show, The Male Female Hour.
I'm Dennis Prager.
This is The Male Female Hour.
A couple of important thoughts here.
I've been talking to you this hour about the difficulties for most couples of the 50 50 proposition of I did the beds yesterday or I did one bed, you do one bed.
I mean, that may sound silly, but there are people with that mentality.
Obviously, I believe that you both have to carry the weight of a family if you have a family or of a home if it's just the two of you, of course.
And in that sense, I'm radically 50 50.
You do X, I do Y. Of course, I believe in that.
But that we both do half of X and both do half of Y and half of Z and half of A and half of B and half of C, then it becomes you can have the real problem of having somebody count and find that they've been cheated.
Now, I want to say with regard to the last call another thing.
The guy who comes home and plops himself on the sofa and watches TV all night.
That's not a 50 50 issue.
That's a marital problem.
Alan, I think we should address that issue on another male female hour.
First, there are many aspects to that.
One is the role of television in marriage.
My own view is that as a social force, television is 95% destructive.
If all television, In fact, I have an essay in the favorite of my four books, and I love all my four books, like Loving Your Children.
I love all, and I do deeply.
But my favorite is Think a Second Time.
It's 44 essays.
One of the essays is Things I'd Like to See.
One of them is that some infection infected television transmitters and caused them to malfunction.
I can only imagine good things happening.
From the demise of television.
I remember putting the immorality of apartheid aside, the obvious immorality of apartheid.
South Africa had a very interesting social experiment.
They allowed television much later than almost any other Western country.
Every social index in South Africa.
After television came into the country, everything possible.
It was worse for marriages.
It was worse for a crime.
It was worse for grades in school.
It was worse for kids' relations with parents.
Every possible indicator declined.
Television is a social disaster and often a marital disaster.
Although you now have the alternatives, obviously, of internet.
But.
I would like to do an hour on my belief that the more time a couple spends together, the better it is for them.
Which runs against a lot of people's thinking you need your space.
This is common parlance now since the 60s.
He needs his space.
And I believe that.
I believe that there's an element of that.
But overwhelmingly, my experience has been that the more time that couple spent together, the better.
Not the less.
So I want to do, I want to do, even to the extent of working together.
Couples that work together seem to have really worked out a marriage.
They become partners in the best sense of the term.
Time Together Works Best00:07:46
You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show, The Male Female Hour, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Gary.
Hi, Gary.
Thank you for calling.
Hey, Dennis.
How are you doing?
I'm well.
The 50 50, what I've got to deal with is a lot of times some of the women say they want 50 50, but then when it actually comes to it, there's still a difference between men and women.
My wife, if we were driving down the street and it's raining and muddy and we have a flat tire, and I looked at her and said, I did the dishes last night, you get up and take the tire, she'd kill me.
Well, that's right.
We've got, in our marriage, we've been married over 20 years, and there's just certain things we automatically know she's going to do, and we automatically know I'm going to do.
She works a 12 hour shift, she comes home, makes dinner.
Does the dishes.
I help with housework and do all that type of stuff too, but when the plumbing goes out and we need to crawl under the house and cut the pipes and stuff, I don't look at her and say, you know, it's your turn to do that.
She knows that that's what I'm going to do.
That's my job.
Yeah, I think that there is a calm that in most marriages where there is a delineated set of expectations.
He does X, I do Y.
He does Z, I do A.
I think that that is, as a general rule, Not only do I think that it brings more of a calm, I also think, and you don't have the counting, I also think that it's calming for another reason.
It's then, I know what's expected of me.
That's it.
That's my province.
That's it.
I'm the governor of plumbing.
That's it.
I'm the governor of dishes.
I think that for, again, There are always people for whom a general rule does not apply.
I acknowledge that.
All right, 1 8, I don't know, giving you the number right now is only a Pavlovian response.
All righty, let's go to Cleveland, Ohio, John.
Hello, John, Dennis Prager.
Thank you, Dennis.
You totally derailed me there.
I was sitting here pondering what is my core point, and I was about to say that.
It's when my wife expects me to do certain things when things go bad.
Too bad, all right.
He's breaking up there on his Cleveland cell phone.
All right, we'll be back in a moment.
Believe it or not, we're up to the final segment.

And over to Fort Worth, Texas, Christina.
Hi, Christina Dennis Prager.
Hi, Dennis.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
Thanks for calling.
Your show is an inspiration to me as an individual and to my marriage of eight years.
Wonderful.
I just wanted to say that when responsibilities are delegated in a marriage, then they're more completely taken care of.
He takes care of this, she takes care of that.
Somebody has to be in charge.
And if nobody's in charge of particular areas of life, then things often fall through the cracks, and then you can go into the blame game.
Of course, inevitably.
Oh, you know, well, I took out the garbage yesterday.
Why is it piled up today?
Exactly, exactly.
But if one person's in charge of garbage, That ends the issue.
And men love it, by the way.
We love being assigned a task.
I'm not kidding.
That is our nature.
You give a guy a task, by golly, it gets done.
But if you tell a guy, we'll both share it, and when you feel like doing it because you're such a loving husband, it's not going to get done.
No, it's not.
And it also provides a wonderful model for raising your children a model of communication and expectation for, you know, teaching them how to live their lives and how to engage in their relationships.
Yep.
Well said, well said, Christina.
You have lucky kids.
Let's go to, let's see here.
Sarah, Marietta, California.
Sarah.
Hi, Dennis Prager.
Thanks for calling.
Hi, how are you?
Good, well.
Thank you for taking my call.
I was calling because I've been married for nine years.
I have three children.
And when I first got married, the advice that somebody gave me was that one person.
Oh, bubber.
That was my fault.
The advice you got was one person what?
Can have a career and one person can have a job.
Uh huh.
But you can't both have a career and children because it does not work.
And I've graduated law school and I chose to stay home and take care of my children while my husband has the career.
And it's worked out.
It's worked out for nine years so far and we have three beautiful children.
And your brain is not atrophied.
That's another subject.
Does your brain atrophy if you went to law school and become a homemaker?
That's a really good subject.
A lot of women fear that.
It doesn't happen.
All right, my friends, this has been the male female hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
Tomorrow, on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager.
Adam Carol is my guest.
Mexico screwed up dessert because I go, What's the difference between a bagel and a Danish?
And somebody said, Sugar.
And they said, Okay, well, when we make our desserts, let's just make it all sugar.
That'll be the best dessert in the world.
And so they melted it down.
They shaped it in the form of a cactus.
They said, This is the greatest dessert ever.
And everyone went, Fa.
As your people would say, because you need things in the dessert.
Your people.
