What's the point for women to get married if it means they will end up doing even more housework than before?

Strange progression of logic there....A person should not be getting married if they are not mature enough to take care of themselves and negotiate a division of labor that is mutually agreeable to the relationship.The "traditionalising effect" is probably more closely correlated with the introduction of children, not marriage per se. Adding a baby to the mix requires a restructuring of the division of labor, and much of the infant care logically lands with the mother, especially when breastfeeding is the feeding choice.
