Abstract: The divorce rate keeps increasing in recent years in China with its rapid economic development and social changes, and meanwhile Chinese people's gender attitude seems returning to the traditional pattern. The improvement of wife-husband family status satisfaction is conducive to the marriage stability. How would the returning of the traditional gender attitude influence the wife-husband family status? What is the relationship between the wife-husband family status satisfaction and the marriage stability? Based on the data of the Third National Women's Status Survey in 2010, this paper analyzed the relationship between the traditional gender ideology and the couple's attitude towards their family status. The result showed that the husband and wife's family status was affected by their gender attitudes. The husband-wife family status satisfaction is affected by their differentiated gender attitudes. Differentiated attitudes towards gender ability impacted the wife-husband family status satisfaction more significantly than the other factors. Therefore, a harmonious relationship between the wife-husband family status and their gender attitudes would be beneficial to a harmonious and stable marriage and family.
