Both partners must have equal give and take at all times during a relationship for them to consider the relationship equitable.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Usually true
• D. Sometimes true

Answer: (B)

Equity in a relationship means fairness over time, not exact repetition of effort every moment. People have different abilities, needs, and circumstances that change day to day. It’s normal for one partner to contribute more in some times (like during a busy work period or after an illness) while the other steps up in different ways, and for the overall balance to feel fair. What matters is that each partner feels the arrangement is fair given the situation, with open communication and adjustments as needed. So, requiring equal give and take at all times isn't realistic or necessary for a relationship to be equitable.
