Answer to Question 1

When we enter into a marital partnership, we do so with our own unique perceptions as to what constitutes a fair and equitable relationship. For instance, many people enter into committed partnerships and marital relationships expecting that the relationship will always be 50-50. Anderson and Sabatelli point out that any infringement, breach, or abuse of these norms- our perceptions-becomes the underlying source of conflict within our interpersonal relationships.

Answer to Question 2

There are several benefits that men have over women with reference to traditional gender roles. First, men have a positive self-image in being the provider whereas women do not because they are not employed. Second, there is little marital stress for men in climbinga career ladder because the wife takes care of the kids and the home. Third, men don't have to do much, if any, housework or child care because the wife takes care of them. Fourth, husbands have a sexual partner who isn't stressed out by having a job and caring for the family simultaneously.
