Would your partner settle for a life of domesticity while you're out being the breadwinner? Certain signs can wholeheartedly embrace the switch in traditional roles, while others won't warm to playing house-husband!

Being an adventurer, Aries isn't so well-suited to washing dishes and cleaning house. If forced into a stay-at-home life, he'll want to spend the day playing video games or watching sports on TV.

Taurus will be happy to stay home ... but could become lazy when it comes to taking care of dull chores. That said, he'll be eager to gather recipes and make delightful meals for the family since he loves food!

Gemini will find domestic life difficult since he enjoys being around people so much. He'll run up the phone bill, spend hours texting and e-mailing -- and might even forget to do the shopping!

Cancer will put on an apron with delight, and being quite maternal, he won't mind playing mom to the kids. He can perhaps even cook and clean better than you!

Leo needs attention and admiration, so being a stay-at-home dad might damage his ego. He's not exactly practical, and would just as soon hire house-cleaners and take the family out to eat as often as possible.

Virgo tends to be a neat freak, and knows quite a bit about the healthiest foods and latest hygiene practices. He might complain a lot, but he'll certainly keep your home in tip-top shape!

Libra is known for being in tune with his caregiving side, so while he won't appreciate the drudgery of maintaining a home, he'll certainly want to please the family. The dinner table will be elegantly decorated and the food quite delicious!

Scorpio is a proud sign and will not relish filling a domestic role. At the same time, he's definitely sentimental about family and will take over home duty -- but only as a temporary solution.

Sagittarius will embrace being free of a 9-to-5 job, so he'll gladly play the house-husband role while taking care to not settle into a routine. Chores will get done ... just probably not on a regular schedule.

Capricorn is practical, but being a nurturer isn't a strength of his. He'll run the household efficiently, but will better flourish as a breadwinner.

Since he's all about fun, an Aquarius house-husband surely makes for happy chaos. It's likely he'll spend more time horsing around with the kids than tending to chores!

Pisces will spend hours happily tidying up the house while lost in a dream state. However, he'll avoid grocery shopping to indicate that being a house-husband isn't really his thing.
