�Introduction
What has been a principle focus in the study
of household labor?
Equality between husbands and wives
The impact of inequality on marital
satisfaction
In an article in the Journal of Marriage and
the Family, Ahlander and Bahr (1995)
suggested examining the division of
household labor from a different paradigm.
�Research Questions and Hypotheses
What affect does enjoyment of family
work have on marital satisfaction given
an inequitable division of household
labor?
We hypothesized that the degree to
which partners enjoy family work would
moderate the influence of inequality in
the division of household labor on
marital satisfaction
�Study Design
This study follows the study conducted five years
ago by Schramm, Marshall, Harris, and Lee (2005)
in which a “random sample of newlywed couples
were chosen by selecting every fourth marriage
license on file at the state’s Department of Health,
from January to July, 2002” (p. 52).
Of these couples, those who reported their 2002
marriage as their first were contacted and solicited
to participate in this follow-up study.
�Participant Demographics
Participants included 162 husbands and 193 wives between
the ages of 21-84.
Ages of the wives ranged from 21 to 71 years (M = 27.99, SD = 4.68)
while ages of the husbands ranged from 23 to 84 years (M = 30.44,
SD = 6.23).
The majority (70.4%) of participants, however, were
between the ages of 25-30, with the median age for wives
being 27, and the median age for husbands being 28 years.
The length participants had been married ranged from 4.16
years to 5.75 years with an average time being married of 5.11
years (SD = 0.22) and the median time married being 5.08
years.
Over 96% of the sample was white, non-Hispanic.
�Participant Demographics (Con’t.)
Annual income for participants ranged from under
$10,000 to over $100,000.
The median annual income range participants
reported was $50,000 to $59,999.
The mean was slightly over the sixth of eleven $10,000
ranges (M = 6.07), $50,000 to $59,999.
The standard deviation was 2.55 $10,000 ranges, or
approximately $25,500.
The majority of participants (67.7%) reported their
annual income to be between $30,000 and $79,999.
�Methods
Each couple filled out a questionnaire separate
from their spouse.
Each spouse reported:
his/her marital satisfaction
the amount of time he/she spent engaged in
housework (including childcare)
who was responsible for each of twenty common
household tasks
how satisfied he/she was with how the couple
divided tasks
the degree to which he/she enjoyed family work
�Measures
Marital Satisfaction – The Kansas Marital
Satisfaction Scale (Schumm, et al., 1986)
Hours Spent in housework (including childcare)
measured in 5 hour ranges peaking at “More than
40 hours a week” (Stevens, Kiger, & Riley, 2001, p.
518)
A list of 20 common household tasks compiled by
Bird, Bird, and Scruggs (1984)
A single question about satisfaction with how tasks
are divided (Stevens, Kiger, and Mannon, 2005)
A 3-item measure of enjoyment of family work
�Results: Descriptive Statistics
Husbands and wives in the sample reported their marital satisfaction to
be between “extremely satisfied” and “very satisfied.”
On average wives were responsible for 8.24 tasks (SD = 3.56, median =
9) and husbands were responsible for 3.72 tasks (SD = 2.2, median = 4).
The median amount of time spent per week in family work was “more
than 40 hours” for wives and “11 – 15 hours” for husbands.
Thus, in completing 225% more tasks than husbands, wives spent
nearly 375% more time than did husbands.
Median scores for both husbands and wives indicated that they
considered the statement “I am pleased with how my spouse and I
divide household tasks” to be “mostly true.”
On a range from 1 to 5, wives reported their enjoyment of family work
at a median score of 4 (M = 4.06, SD = .80). Husbands reported a
median score of 3.66 (M = 3.57, SD = .79).

�Conclusions
It seems that enjoyment of family work plays a role in moderating
the effect of an inequitable division of family work on both marital
satisfaction and satisfaction with the division of labor.
In considering the family work arrangement, its effect on marital
satisfaction is not simply a matter of who does the most or if the
arrangement is equal.
A spouse’s perceptions and symbolism surrounding family work and
its division may be just as important, if not more so.
There are several factors that may contribute to wives’ willingness
to shoulder a greater responsibility for family work than husbands,
such as:
Role expectations
Spousal appreciation
Altruistic satisfaction
�Implications
Given the role enjoyment of family work seems to play, educators could
encourage couples to consider how much each partner enjoys various
tasks as they determine their roles and household responsibilities.
However, educators should also encourage couples to consider that the
enjoyment of a task may also be determined by the degree to which spouses
cooperate to complete the task.
Again, as Blackenhorn (1990) has noted, work in the family is often
about “building life's most important bonds of affection, nurturance,
mutual support, and long-term commitment” (quoted in Ahlander and
Bahr, 1995, p. 64).
Couples who arrive at a work arrangement with which they are both
satisfied and that includes tasks each enjoys, will build these vital bonds
in their marital relationship as they each demonstrate greater respect
and love for their spouse.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

�Method
Grounded Theory Meta-data- analysis
(based on Knudson-Martin &
Silverstein, 2009)
It is the summation of the findings from multiple qualitative studies, differs
from a traditional systematic review in that the aim is to produce new
interpretations of the data Kent & Fineout-Overholt. 2008
It eliminates contextual boundaries created by small samples Stall-Meadows

�RESULTS
Status Quo Vs. What Women Want

than men
..,. Experiencing Barriers
..,. Testing, diagnosis, and treatment
..,. Women are discounted
..,. Responsible for figuring out how to make it work
..,. Feel something is missing
��than men
women "felt alone in their experiences because of this
differential treatment and perceived association between CHD
and men"
Experiencing Barriers: Testing, diagnosis, and treatment
"But a young and healthy woman like you can't
cholesterol"
have raised
Women are discounted
Then others frame as a lack of confidence: "lack of confidence
in the recognition of symptoms of Ml"
Women had to confront the power dynamic and thus
were left responsible for the relationship
"barrier so great that you need a strong will to
get through."
�RESULTS
Status Quo Vs. What Women Want
~ To be taken seriously, as experts on their
own bodies
~ Relational connection
~ To be understood contextually
~ Empowerment
�What
women
want
�To be taken seriously, as experts on their own bodies
Discourses about women being complainers have led them to doubt
themselves and the physicians also doubt them
Relational connection
"women sought meaningful connection with others, as a way of obtaining
needed emotional support after the cardiac event:' But they perceive
resistance or lack of support from family and this can cause anger,
"Sometimes I feel like no one can hear me, they don't want to know what
I am going through:'
To be understood contextually
denial of symptoms
Empowerment
�Primary Care, Secondary, Tertiary
MedFT's role in facilitating better relationships between
patients and physicians
Important to studying women's illness within their context
tersen, Kruczel<, & Shaffner, 2003
Systemically these experiences contribute to women's stress
and not getting proper after-care - How do we break the
cycle?
DISCUSSION
�DIRECTIONS
DOur study is limited in it's ability to
look at intersectionality
DOther contexts such as SES, the clinical
setting, the gender of the physician, and
culture would likely influence power
relations in patient's experiences

Observations in Medical Family Therapy
By Aimee Galick
Posted by Nancy Gonzalez | April 17, 2012
Recently I was sitting and working at a bakery café. It was packed,
and out of the corner of my eye I noticed an older woman walking
very slowly. Things like this always catch my eye because it makes
me so sad to see someone with limited mobility. She was being
helped along by an older man who I assume was her husband
because they both had wedding rings on. He helped her so gently
to the table, helped her sit down, leaned into her and (I assume)
asked her what she would like. He went to order their food and
came back with her coffee.
What was particularly different about this couple was the amount of
touch he was giving her. When he set her coffee down, he gently put his hand on her back. He
seemed so gentle and caring with her. It was very moving to me, especially as a medical family
therapist. There is so much research claiming that men are not the caregivers that women are, but this
man has shown me otherwise. At one point they kissed, she had her hand on his leg. The whole time
they sat at the table his body was turned towards hers. He was very attentive and attuned to her. She
seemed that she may have had some dementia or focusing difficulties because he had to get her
attention a few times, but did so in a very gentle way by saying hello softly and calmly. When they got
up to leave, he held her arm to help her out of the chair. The first attempt failed, and they laughed
together as the second attempt worked. She walked with a cane, her arm entwined in his as they
exited. It appeared to me that this man felt very fulfilled in his abilities to be caring and gentle with his
wife.
I wondered; how did this man learned to be so caring and gentle? Did he have bumps along the way?
Was it difficult to learn? Is it difficult to sustain this capability with his frail wife?
Have you ever seen or experienced something similar? What did it make you think about men and
women? About relationships? About aging? NCFR members, please post a comment.

�Hi Aimee, great observation. Your description of the couple is beautiful. Some of the questions that came to
mind as I was reading your post were somewhat the same as yours ... "how did he learn to be so patient and
gentle and were they always like this or is this something they picked up and embraced throughout their
relationship" ... we still have quite a bit to learn about relationships, let alone relationships in elderly couples.
This shows that we can learn a lot from couples like the one in the bakery cafe.

Aimee here :) I have to say I think I was most impressed the age of the couple, as many older generation
relationships (at least that I have seen) are very divided among gender lines when it comes to care giving.
Even though it seems that younger couples are moving towards more equality in terms of caring for each
other and the relationship, I find them to also be the most frustrating because many do not believe they are
in relationships that are influenced about "old" ideas about men and women's roles. Awareness about
inequality is being masked by the heavy emphasis on equality in our society, this not only applies to gender,
but also to racial and class discrimination.

Hi Aimee,
I must say I am a little jaded by the burden I see women carry and continue to carry in ALOT (not all) but
ALOT of relationships. The first thing that came to my mind as I read the article was: this lady is probably in
the condition she is due to the caring burden she carried in her family and relationship through out the
years. But on the other hand I has happy and relieved for her that her husband was grateful enough to
provide her with care now that she really needs it.
