The management of cognitive labour in same-gender couples.

The narrative model provides new conceptual understanding of how cognitive labour is performed outside of the heteronormative sphere. Couple's adoption of a strengths-based frame to cognitive labour performance removed the opposition inherent in gender dichotomies. These findings support calls for research to incorporate social change to build and refine theory, including how queer and feminist movements have challenged gendered and heteronormative family and household roles.
