Partnership is an intuitive metaphor for marriage. The “ideal to which marriage aspires is that of equal partnerships between spouses who share resources, responsibilities, and risks,” and thus ...perhaps some limited duty to sacrifice individually for the good of the partnership.¹ This norm encourages commitments between spouses, promotes gender equality, and supports the privatized care of children and elderly dependents.
