Gender Show Love Differently During Marriage

Husbands and wives express love differently in their relationships, according to a new study.

Looking at data collected at four points in time over 13 years of marriage, researchers found that while both genders were equally likely to show love through affection, wives expressed love by being less antagonistic while husbands showed love by initiating sex or sharing activities together.


"Do Men and Women Show Love Differently in Marriage?" was written by Elizabeth A. Schoenfeld (eschoenfeld[at]utexas.edu) et al. and published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
