Study 1 and study 2 unstandardized latent curve model with structured residuals results testing associations between men’s and women’s relationship satisfaction across days and years
| Study 1 21 Diary Days (n = 901 couples) |
Study 2 5 Annual Waves (n = 3,405 couples) |

Note: Unstandardized estimates [95% CI] from the unconstrained models. M = Men. W = Women. Sat. = Relationship Satisfaction. T = Time. In Study 1, the intercepts and slopes were regressed on study membership dummy variables; these details are displayed in SI Appendix, Table S2. Study 1 model fit indices: χ2[1,188] = 1,991.400; RMSEA = 0.027, 90% CI [0.025–0.029]; CFI = 0.953; TLI = 0.953; SRMR = 0.066. Study 2 model fit indices: χ2[36] = 46.315; RMSEA = 0.009, 90% CI [0.000–0.016]; CFI = 0.997; TLI = 0.997; SRMR = 0.027.
*The within-person paths were a priori constrained to equality across days (Study 1) and waves (Study 2).
