Traditional Roles in Relationships: It's Okay to Be Old Fashioned. Relationships have really changed over the last few decades. In most marriages now, men and women share (ideally) the responsibilities of earning the money, handling the finances, making the decisions and raising the children.
In addition, the. homemaker role emphasizes care-giving and other forms of per-. sonal service, although it does foster aggressive behavior in de-. fense of one's children. Indeed, this aggressive behavior is in the. service of others. Finally, one aspect of social roles that has general relevance. to sex differences in aggression is the distribution of the sexes. into higher and lower status roles (Eagly, 1983).
