Abstract

The article is devoted to the identification of the influence features of couple double sexual standard on the level of marital satisfaction. The phenomenon of gender indulgence is described. It is defined as a positive subject attitude to the behavior of another sex person. It is shown that in general, double sexual standards have a negative impact on marital satisfaction. They violate the fairness and equality of relations between husband and wife and make it impossible to build partnerships that are inherent in a modern egalitarian family. At the same time, the positive function of such standards is defined – the stabilization of the family system.
