Notes: 1. Coefficients for spouse work hours and its squared term are estimated from models consisting of respondents whose spouses have a paid job. But we obtain similar results if spouse work hour is coded as 0 for respondents whose spouses do not have a paid job.

2. For men: respondent sole breadwinner and respondent primary breadwinner (p < .01); respondent primary breadwinner and spouse primary or equal breadwinner (p < .1). For women: respondent primary breadwinner and spouse primary or equal breadwinner (p < .05); moderate commitments and spouse primary or equal breadwinner (p < .1).

3. Robust standard errors in parentheses.
