If not negotiation, then what? : Gender equality and the organization of everyday life in Swedish couples

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Freed from the bonds of traditional gendered norms, responsibilities and obligations, it has been argued that negotiation is a key concept for understanding how modern couples organize their common life together. Interviews with Swedish couples cause us to question this assumption. In this article we argue that negotiations are relatively unusual in couple relationships. We found that couples seldom experience the reason, room space or need to negotiate. This can in part be understood from the perspective of seeing everyday life as a matter of practical coordination, i.e. as something we strive to master rather than something we try to change or critically reflect upon. We found that routines and rituals were a guiding force in how couples organize their everyday lives. “Doing gender”, “doing couple”, external circumstances and agreement were all central aspects in making the everyday lives of the couples we interviewed work.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter provides an overview of research on money in couples. The focus is on how couples organise and share money, finances and consumption and the consequences of different ways of handling money. Money in couples is complex and 'Janus-faced' as it possesses two interrelated but different sides. It is connected to practical aspects associated with everyday finances, but also with gendered expectations and norms, exercising of power and conflicts of interest. Money also has symbolic meaning and is involved in constructing couplehood. The ways money is conceptualised, handled, shared, merged or held separate all matter for how love and commitment in a couple are expressed and strengthened (or undermined), as well as for how gender equality and fairness are manifested and perceived.

On the other side of couplehood : single women in Sweden exploring life without a partner

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article describes Swedish women’s experiences of life as single. Data showed that singlehood was not actively chosen but rather a situation that participants ended up in due to separation from a partner. However, once single, participants chose to remain single. The lack of gender equality in traditional cohabiting couplehood made participants wary about entering a new cohabiting couple relationship. Living apart together (LAT) relationships were identified as a possible way to combine gender-equal intimacy with personal freedom and independence. Data suggested that the increased number of single women may not necessarily point to an increased desirability of singleness per se, nor to a rejection of coupled intimacy. Singlehood was rather a rejection of the limitations associated with cohabiting couplehood. The article highlights the importance of the Swedish welfare state for making it possible for women toremain single, even those with dependent children.

Perceptions and practices in independent management : Blurring the boundaries between ‘‘Mine,’’ ‘‘Yours’’ and ‘‘Ours’’
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Journal of Family and Economic Issues. - : Springer Science+Business Media B.V.. - 1058-0476 .- 1573-3475. ; 33:4, s. 389-506
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research suggests that couples categorized as practicing independent management (IM) have a high level of independence and separateness regarding financial matters. However, this interview study showed that the boundaries between “yours” and “mine” regarding money, finances and consumption are blurred in couples categorized as IM. The blurring of boundaries reflected participants’ understandings of what it means to be in a committed couple relationship and the difficulties associated with having joint expenses and consumption while lacking a "common purse." The study indicated that couples might be less individualistic and private than the label IM suggests and that the practices of those categorized as using IM are varied and complex.
