For example, partners who believe that they did more of the work
of relationship initiation may come to feel especially committed to their relationship, as would be predicted by a cognitive dissonance framework on justifying effort (e.g., Aronson & Mills, 1959).
The work
of relationship initiation, however, was not perceived as balanced by our participants.
Next, we examined whether there were differences in the degree to which the male partner versus the female partner was perceived as doing more of the work
of relationship initiation and maintenance.
In addition, although our global item about work balance (which did not ask about specific work activities related to relationship initiation and maintenance) has the benefit of allowing the participants to consider the behaviors important to them, future research could also ask more specifically about what behaviors partners engage in as part of their contribution to the work
of the relationship initiation and maintenance.
When we retraced the history of a sample of heterosexual couples back to the beginning of their relationship, by asking who had done the work
of relationship initiation, we found that partners were more likely to say that one partner had worked harder than the other than to say that the partners had mutually shared the work.
We hypothesize that male partners will be more likely than female partners to be perceived as doing the work
of relationship initiation (H3), but that female partners will be more likely than male partners to be perceived as doing the work of relationship maintenance (H4).
Contrary to H1a, a greater percentage of participants perceived that one partner did more of the work
of relationship initiation (64.2 %) than said the work was balanced or mutually shared (35.8 %), Χ2 (1) = 15.35, p <.001.
Conversely, women are more likely to engage in indirect strategies
of relationship initiation (e.g., nonverbal cues of interest)(e.g., Clark et al., 1999).
The goals of this investigation were to examine: (1) relationship members» perceptions of the balance of work at both the initiation and the maintenance stages of their relationship; (2) whether one gender in heterosexual, romantic relationships is perceived as doing more of the work
of relationship initiation and relationship maintenance; and (3) relational outcomes (e.g, satisfaction) associated with the perceptions of balance versus imbalance in the work
of relationship initiation and maintenance.
These global perceptions about the distribution of the work
of relationship initiation and maintenance can become part of couples» narratives or stories of their relationship (e.g., Custer, Holmberg, Blair, & Orbuch, 2008) and influence how they feel about each other and their union.
However, a majority (approximately 64 %) perceived the work
of relationship initiation as imbalanced (i.e., one partner contributing more than the other).
The third issue we examine is how the perceived balance of the work
of relationship initiation and maintenance is associated with relationship satisfaction and commitment.
As is true of other areas of work in romantic relationships that generally require contributions by both members (e.g., division of household labor, childcare), the work
of relationship initiation and maintenance may sometimes be done more by one partner than the other.
Among the findings were that perceived imbalance with respect to the work
of relationship initiation was common, that women were more likely than men to perceive their partners as having done more work than they did themselves, and that overall there were no gender differences in perceptions of who did more work.
The first issue we examine is the degree to which partners view the work
of relationship initiation and maintenance as balanced (i.e., shared equally) versus imbalanced.

However, recent research finds that this is not true: In fact, people with lower self - esteem have the same social skills as people with higher self - esteem, but they often don't feel safe enough to use them.1 This «safety» concern comes into play in situations when one tries to start a
relationship with another person, or what researchers call
relationship initiation; such situations are risky because one often doesn't know if the other person is going to be accepting or rejecting, 1 and thus the outcome
of the attempted
initiation is often uncertain.
