My divorce lawyer - and this conversation is one of the advantages of having an NLG member as your attorney - told me that she spent an hour or two in a wedding chapel in Cuba some years ago. The wedding vows included a pledge that the grooms would share equally in the housework - a point which caused visible distress on their faces as they recited the words. I don't know how this worked out in practice, but the fact that it was in the vows showed some commitment.
