Some do and some don’t. I think it depends on personality, and what they believe their sources of power in the relationship are.
Some manipulation is probably subtle—the kind of flirting that women can do to soften up a guy and make him think she likes him. It works within relationships, too, since it can make an guy more eager to do what she wants. I don’t even know if this kind of activity should even be called manipulation.
I’m sure it’s rarely purely overt: “honey, buy me that coat, or you’re gonna be sleeping in the den.” Though that probably happens. It probably depends on the way the relationship started, and the way the people think their roles should be played.
All I know is that manipulation sucks, whether it’s between spouses, or between anyone else.
