Note. Numbers in parentheses are standard errors. Data are based on the authors’ calculations from 2010 American Time Use Survey (ATUS) well-being module data obtained from ATUS-X (Hofferth et al., 2013). Reference category (ref.) is not with spouse during activity.

^aIndividual fixed effect models include seven category activity measure as control variables.

^bThe activity-level logit models include control variables for couple-level work status, life stage, age, husband's education and race, wife's education and race, the seven-category activity measure, weekend, and holiday diary days. The models allow for nonindependent errors within groups defined by the individual respondent.
