Women in Love and Men at Work: The Evolving Heterosexual Couple?

Abstract

We studied how the participants incorporated their emotions, feelings and behaviors into their relationships on an everyday basis. In our study, we focused on how women are viewed as being very emotional and how men show little to no emotion in their heterosexual relationship. Our findings indicate what system women and men build their relationships upon and how they differ from each other. Hopefully, men and women will understand that there are gender differences and that they will have to compromise on what they personally want in a relationship.
