Recent textbook treatments of marital quality and equality treat equality as a precondition for marital quality. Other comparative treatments have viewed quality and equality as unrelated or in versely related. Using data from a sample of 186 preindustrial societies, one dimension of marital quality is examined against 13 indicators of sexual inequality and 4 indicators of marital role sharing. The findings show that role sharing is the more crucial factor to marital quality. Implications for research and theory are discussed.
