Seeing as your husband works more hours than you, you could figure out between you what chores he has time for before/ after work, at weekends etc, then make those his responsibility.
For example, my bf does the washing up, mowing the lawn and tidies his things. I do just about everything else around the house. He works twice as many hours as I do, and it works out that I can get the housework done while he is still at work (small house, with only the 2 of us), so that seems fair to me.
We don't have many arguments about the housework, I don't nag him to tidy up, for example, but if he doesn't put his clothes in the laundry basket, they don't get washed!
