I examine the trajectory of marital quality as a function of relationship equity with data from a six-wave panel study of 704 married respondents between 1980 and 2000. Reporting that one "gives more" to the marriage (subjective underbenefit) is more likely for women than men at any given marital duration. Respondent's relative contribution to income, paid labor, housework, and health (objective underbenefit) raises this probability for women of average religiosity. For the more religious, objective underbenefit has no effect on women's sense of underbenefit, but reduces men's sense of underbenefit. Objective underbenefit lowers women's, but raises men's, marital quality, at any marital duration. The relevance of equity was not diluted by the passage of time in marriage.
我利用一项针对1980年至2000年间704名已婚受访者的六波面板研究数据，考察了婚姻质量随关系公平性变化的轨迹。在任何给定的婚姻持续时间内，报告自己“为婚姻付出更多”（主观受益不足）的女性比男性更常见。受访者在收入、有偿劳动、家务和健康方面的相对贡献（客观受益不足）增加了中等宗教信仰女性产生这种感觉的可能性。对于宗教信仰更强的人来说，客观受益不足对女性的受益不足感没有影响，但会降低男性的受益不足感。在任何婚姻持续时间内，客观受益不足都会降低女性的婚姻质量，但会提高男性的婚姻质量。婚姻公平性的相关性不会因婚姻时间的推移而减弱。
