Rather than always battling it out to be the one who prevails, married couples tend to back down after they have won a previous argument
Economists looking at the issue drew their conclusions from a study of 82 couples, who were asked about their preferences for two outings.
They were asked - individually and then together - whether they would prefer a meal at a famous restaurant or a night at the theatre.
If they disagreed they were asked to agree on a collective decision.
They were also asked if they would prefer a day's karting together or a dance class.
Researchers found that husbands and wives took it in turns to get their own way -- but unmarried couples did not.
Married couples "focused on maintaining fairness in their relationships".
