My goal is to minimize arguments, somehow distribute the responsibilities so that one person doesn't feel that they are doing more than the other, and that both persons are respected and appreciated?

That is a discussion you and your partner should be having and continuing to have. With a child it always seems like the woman has so many more responsibilites because she becomes the primary caretaker so it's helpful to her if the husband can help with those responsibilities when he is home. It's hard not to play the "I work harder than you" game, but try to stifle it. It's hard for everyone with kids. When you start to criticize, think before you speak. Think how you would interpret your comment and where it will lead. That will surely help minimize arguments. It's always makes life easier to become part of the solution and not the problem.

Do everything together as a family - spend your time at home together, get out in the world and do things together.
If you are both working, figure out some sort of chore division. If one is a stay at home parent, more household tasks go to that person, because with a one year old there is still a lot of time to get things done.
LOVE each other - your child needs a great role model of a wonderful, committed and happy relationship for his parents.

With a one year old things can get stressful & most relationships with a child under 3 can end in break up.
The most important aspects to sucess would be
Family Support - so that u can be alone
Communication
Mutural Respect

The most effective way to help with a marriage when you have a small child, is the couple needs to go out alone. I know it is hard to find time and someone to watch your son, but having alone time as a couple will help with arguments and everything else too.
