Summary/Abstract: The appropriate gender ideology and attitudes regarding gender roles play a significant role in many aspects of marriage and family dynamics. We start this paper by with the way employment of women and changes in the traditional division of household labor affect the quality of the marital relationship. We then go on to demonstrate how the adopted gender ideology, whether traditional or egalitarian, acts as an important intermediary between the division of labor and the experienced quality of marriage, affecting the functionality of partner relations. Finally, we deal with the question of how gender behavioral awareness is implemented in an effective clinical practice.
