Answer 1: Males tend to exhibit instrumental behavior. The sociologist Parsons, argued that in marriage, males( particularly husbands) play the instrumental role of being a family's sole breadwinner. This role puts tremendous pressure on males who are responsible for providing for his family's basic needs (such as food, clothing, shelter) and secondary needs such as  school supplies, family outings, etc. 

Answer 2: Females on the other hand play an expressive role in the family, wherein, they the primary caregivers and homemakers. Women support their husbands by cooking meals for them, supporting them emotionally, showing affection and keeping the home in order. Women also take on the primary responsibility of rearing children, bringing them up and emotionally supporting them.
