Abstract

This article presents some of the results of a research about egalitarian couples. Specifically, the research studies the negotiations and decision-making strategies in this kind of relations from a gender perspective. Housework and childcare work are the most negotiated issues. The negotiations, however, are not explicit and systematic, because these negotiations enter in conflict with the ideal of romantic love. This ideal presents couple relation as an unproblematic union. In the same way, it has been proven the relevance of the construction of motherhood and fatherhood in the creation of gender identity and its particular implications on the vision and time spent on childcare work.
