Give an example of instrumental support in marriage, in which husband and wife both boost the well-being, productivity, and career of their spouse
What will be an ideal response?
In some families, husbands may willingly take over the lion's share of parenting, household chores, and meal preparation, while his wife works at her executive level position at a bank. His pitching in increases her productivity, because she does not have to stop and tend to the other details of their lives. As another example, if one spouse becomes ill, the other spouse steps in and takes on the roles and responsibilities of the spouse who is ill. In both examples, the benefits to the spouses are reciprocal.
