Do women skills in household chores significant to a marriage?

Though we're in a hi-tech era, and most wives are working, still men expects that women should be skilled in household chores. And even both are busy in office duties, some women feel that there is still a need for a mother's touch in some household tasks. Does knowledge in household chores really matters to a woman and marriage as well? Does it have a weight to a successful marriage? How do men and women see its significance in a relationship?

I do believe that it's quite important that a wife should be skilled in household chores, but also the husband should be too, especially if the wife is working and they can't afford help. My husband himself told me that :) He said that he read in the internet that the husbands should help in the household chores especially if the wife is working. It totally makes sense. I mean, household chores can be really, well, a CHORE. And most of it involves physical efforts too. From cleaning/mopping the kitchen/bathroom floors, to scrubbing the tiles, to doing/picking up the laundry, to sending the children to school and picking them up afterwards, to preparing and cooking breakfast-lunch-and-dinner and then cleaning up after the dishes...Whew! Those sure require more than one person to do. Which is why it's also important that the husband should know about these chores and help the wife. They can do the chores together as a team -- that is surely one of the things that could ensure a successful marriage ;)

I don't think it's the skill at which a chore is done, but rather that it is done, and that the chores are split either evenly or fairly as agreed by the couple. My husband is the only one working so I clean the most, that I procrastinate on it, my husband understands as he also likes to procrastinate.

It was important 20/30 years ago. Bot not anymore. Especially for working women. And if the household chores are divided between the husbands this would be the perfect solution.
