Women value relationships more
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aug 29, 2006
A study for the Families Commission says women value their
relationships more highly than men do and are more likely to turn
to family and friends for help.
The report's author, Dr Jeremy Robertson, says while most people
are satisfied with the state of their relationships, tension can be
caused by money worries and a lack of quality time and
communication.
His report also says women are happier being single than men, and
are more likely to confide in family and friends.
Hilary Smith, of Relationship Services, says the report contradicts
common beliefs about negativity around relationships, and shows New
Zealanders are both positive and optimistic.
