Interesting.
One research study we recently talked about in my Aging class indicated that women differ from men in their sources of marital satisfaction. Equity in the division of labor and strong emotional support are highly linked to marital satisfaction for women, but not for men. Interesting, huh? We can't assume that our spouse values the same things we do in marriage. To me, this reinforces the need for constant open communication between spouses. Let's not assume they know what we want or how we feel--because they probably don't! (:

Wow, I'd say these two things are WAY up there in the things I value as satisfying marital factors.
