I meant women, although in the cultural sense. This is to my knowledge the first generation of women who were raised to be supportive and nurturing at home while still feeling the pressure to earn as much men.

Having the role of nurturer be challenged, I'm going to assume, is more psychologically damaging for a woman. Especially when that woman has career woes of her own.

No doubt all of these cases have individual components, but doing something nice for your spouse is rarely bad advice. =)
