Personal Functioning

Interdependence is a hallmark of romantic relationships, and first-person plural pronoun use (“we-talk”) can indicate interdependence between self and other. We-talk often positively, but sometimes negatively, relates to relationship and personal functioning. A meta-analysis of 30 studies supported a positive association overall between one’s own and partners’ we-talk and relationship and personal functioning, as well as each of five indicators (relationship outcomes, relationship behaviors, mental and physical health, and health behaviors) for individuals in romantic relationships. Partner use of we-talk was generally more strongly related to relationship functioning than own use. Females’ and spouses’ use of we-talk was related more to males’ and patients’ functioning, respectively. In general, our results revealed that we-talk was most strongly associated with relationship functioning and that partner effects tended to be stronger than actor effects. Both patterns of meta-analytic findings support the notion that we-talk reflects interdependence between romantic partners.

The Impact

This study aimed to compare heterosexual mixed-weight (one overweight and one healthy weight partner) and matched-weight couples on their relationship functioning and eating behaviors. One hundred seventy- four adult couples were recruited and grouped based on their body mass index. They completed a survey online. It was expected that mixed-weight couples would report poorer marital satisfaction and more eating related problems than matched-weight couples, especially among couples with overweight women and healthy weight men. Results showed that men from mixed-weight couples were less satisfied of their relationship and their sexuality compared to men from matched-weight couples. Thus, a gap between partners’ weight seems to be associated with men’s dissatisfaction, no matter which partner is overweight. However, this weight asymmetry has no impact on women’s satisfaction. These findings provide an informative contribution to scientific literature on the impact of weight asymmetry on couple relationship.
