Distribution of family roles: married and single women

Abstract

Efficient distribution of family roles is very important for spouses. The family wellbeing in many respects depends on whether spouses act in coordination, whether they agree and are ready to play certain roles in family interactions. From the very beginning of their relations, it is crucial for partners to coordinate the expectations and ideas of marriage. It is necessary for spouses to define their family roles and integrate the playing of these roles, what it means to be a wife and a husband. It is vital for successful marriage that expectations of partners coincide.
