| Summary: | In this paper the relationship between the partners is understood as a system. The system statistical method - the structural equation modeling, was applied to 80 pairs of men and women representing different types of partnerships. The definition of gender tolerance is formulated. Assessing the manifestations of gender tolerance in various fields, no statistically significant differences between groups defined by the type of partnerships were found. Such kinds of gender tolerance, as child-rearing and house-keeping, make the main contribution into the mutual gender tolerance of partners. It was found that gender-tolerant partnerships are formed in those pairs where the man showed a friendly attitude to his wife and was committed to collaborate closely with her, and the woman was self-confident and independent, but successfully controlled her negative emotional expressions.
