Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social exchange theory suggests that individuals in a relationship will weigh the costs and benefits of their actions, and will try to maximize rewards while minimizing costs. This means that if husband and wife have equal external resources, they will engage in equal marital interactions because it is the most rewarding option. However, this does not mean that women exchange love for security or that men exchange sex for financial support.
