Fifty-eight dual-earner couples with young children (116 parents) completed interviews and self-report measures to evaluate shared parenting (SP), marital satisfaction, and division of child-care tasks. As expected, psychological and relational SP dimensions predicted marital satisfaction, parental competence, and closeness to their children, but division of child-care tasks did not. The findings were interpreted to highlight how family practitioners may educate and support stressed dual-earner couples regarding these relational aspects of shared parenting.
