General Social Survey data indicate that women aged 50-60, particularly less educated women, were less likely than younger or older women to include their husband in their discussion network. Compared to homogamous relationships, men in religiously heterogamous marriages and less educated men in educationally heterogamous marriages were less likely to name their wife as primary discussion partner.
