"That's very interesting. Could you give me the name of that study?"

(haven't figured out the quotes function yet)

The article was titled, "Peer Marriage: What does it take to create a truly egalitarian relationship?" by Pepper Schwartz Ph.D. and was an excerpt from her book, "Peer Marriage: How Love Between Equals Really Works" (Free Press, 1994). She is a professor of sociology at the University of Washington, Seattle Washington, 98195. The excerpt was found in the "Family Therapy Networker Sep/Oct 94". In particular I think you will find page. 87-88 of the article to be the part your interested in, but its a good read overall. I haven't read the entire book, but its on the long list of my eventual reads.
