Fathers helping out: shared child care and marital satisfaction of parents of children with disabilities

J C Willoughby et al. Am J Ment Retard. 1995 Jan.

Abstract

The relation between division of child care and marital satisfaction in couples rearing children with disabilities was explored. Greater father participation in child care was related to higher marital satisfaction for both parents. Higher family income was also related to higher marital satisfaction for fathers only. Results were discussed in the framework of recent adaptations to Hill's (1949) ABCX Model of Family Adaptation.
