description Although most marital couples today profess to have modern relationships where the distribution of roles, the gender relations and the method of enhancing functions is egalitarian, however, the overall inequities between partners are still visible. At the other extreme, there is a category of couples who strategically negotiate their distribution of power, each gender according to the resources they hold. Thus, in a constant process of grabbing the other, each partner is building a set of resources enabling the domination of other.

The research is performed through the qualitative analysis based on sociological survey and the instrument used is the semi-structured interview, applied to both women and their partners.
