Research on gender inequality within different-sex marriages shows that women do more unpaid labor than men, and that the perception of inequality influences perceptions of marital quality. Yet research on same-sex couples suggests the importance of considering how gender is relational. Past studies show that same-sex partners share unpaid labor more equally and perceive greater equity than do different-sex partners, and that lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are less gender conforming than heterosexuals. However, studies have not considered how gender conformity might shape inequalities and marital quality within same- and different-sex unions. In this study, we analyze dyadic data from both spouses in same- and different-sex marriages to explore how sex of spouse and gender conformity influence perceptions of shared power within the relationship, which, in turn, influences marital quality. Results show that greater gender conformity is related to stronger perceptions of shared power in different-sex and male same-sex couples but not in female same-sex couples. Perceptions of shared power are positively associated with marital quality in all union types. Our findings suggest that maintaining hegemonic masculinity and power inequalities may be salient to marriages with men. In female same-sex couples, gender and its relation to power inequalities may carry less meaning.

同性和异性婚姻中的性别整合，共享权力感知和婚姻质量。

对不同性别婚姻中性别不平等的研究表明，女性从事无偿劳动的人数要多于男性，对不平等的看法影响了对婚姻质量的看法。然而，对同性伴侣的研究表明，考虑性别之间的关系很重要。过去的研究表明，同性伴侣比异性伴侣更平等地分享无偿劳动，并享有更大的公平性，而男女同性恋者和双性恋者的性别依从性比异性恋者低。但是，研究并未考虑性别整合如何影响同性和异性婚姻中的不平等和婚姻质量。在这项研究中，我们分析了同性和异性婚姻中的配偶双方的二元数据，以探讨配偶的性别和性别整合如何影响关系中对共同权力的看法，反过来又影响婚姻质量。结果表明，更大的性别一致性与不同性别和男性同性伴侣对共享能力的更强感知有关，而与女性同性伴侣无关。在所有类型的工会中，对共同权力的理解与婚姻质量呈正相关。我们的发现表明，维持霸权男性气概和权力不平等可能对与男人结婚至关重要。在女性同性伴侣中，性别及其与权力不平等的关系可能意义不大。我们的发现表明，维持霸权男性气质和权力不平等可能对与男人结婚至关重要。在女性同性伴侣中，性别及其与权力不平等的关系可能意义不大。我们的发现表明，维持霸权男性气质和权力不平等可能对与男人结婚至关重要。在女性同性伴侣中，性别及其与权力不平等的关系可能意义不大。
