Means(SDs) for wives’ and husbands’ marital quality for spouses with more traditional (trad) versus more egalitarian (egal) gender role attitudes

Marital Quality	Husbands Mean(SD)	Wives Mean(SD)	Couples Mean(SD)
Husbands
Trad	4.15(.43)^a	4.11(.50)^a	4.11(.41)^a
Egal	4.25(.33)^b	4.18(.40)^a	4.21(.31)^b
Wives
Trad	4.19(.35)^c	4.15(.46)^c	4.14(.38)^c
