Abstract: | The relationship between work and marriage is well documented in dual-earner couples. Work-marital spillover patterns, however,
have been understudied in single-earner couples. The current study extends the work-marital spillover literature by examining
spillover patterns from individual experiences and self-care behaviors to the marital relationship over a period of 42 days
in husband-earner and wife-earner couples. Results of pooled time-series regression analyses indicated individual experiences
and self-care behaviors predicted marital processes for both employment groups. For self-care behaviors, however, different
patterns emerged for employed and unemployed spouses. Results identify an important connection between energy depletion and
marital processes, and highlight the role of a spouse’s own and the partner’s self-care behaviors, particularly for the employed
spouse in single-earner couples. |
