This study examines how newly married couples respond to social-contextual factors which both encourage and inhibit marital equality. This analysis of in-depth interviews with 12 egalitarian heterosexual couples in their first year of marriage reveals that none of the couples fully meets the criteria for equal marriages defined in the study, although all the couples talked about their relationships using a "language of equality." Conscious confiromation of both gender and equality issues appeared to be a presequisite for the possibility of marital equality. Yet most couples avoided these issues and developed a "myth of equality." Implications for couples, research, and-practice are addressed.
