I'm smiling reading him thrash about trying to square this circle...honestly as it's really not all that hard.
If they were dating, let's say and living together and sill paying for thing separately, then this feels more reasonable. in that situation, most things may still be broken down into YOURS and MINE.
If it's marriage, then unless they've got a system very unlike mine, there is only OURS. there are no MY shores and HER chores...there's just CHORES.
So if I was to decide to pay for chores to be done in the house, there would be no possibility of picking and choosing to only pay to have mine outsourced and not hers. Even suggesting there is a defined separation in them seems odd to me.

Well SFP isn't married.
And yeah he's approaching this from more of a roommates situation than a relationship situation.

so on Saturday when you get down to doing chores, you don't split them up? how do you avoid overlap or one person constantly asking the other to come help ?

We aren't married and chores are still just.. chores.
I can't imagine being in a relationship with someone who purposely avoided my laundry or left dishes in the sink because that's "my chore".

Unless her chores are something a maid doesn't normally do, I don't even know how you'd go about this.
"Okay, Yesenia.. Now I need you to mop the floor, but don't sweep it first because that's her chore. I need you to wash the dishes, but leave them on the mat to put away because that's her chore."
