Description

Introduction Family is the most common social context for leisure activities (Shaw, 1997). People spend most of their leisure time at home and with other household members (Bianchi, Robinson & Milkie, 2007; Kelly, 1997). Family researchers have demonstrated the importance of spousal leisure for marital quality (Holman & Jacquart, 1988; Orthner, 1975; Zabriskie & McCormick, 2001) and of family leisure for family cohesion (Orthner & Mancini, 1990, Zabriskie & McCormick, 2001). Spending time with a spouse is generally seen as an important relationship maintenance strategy (Baxter & Dindia, 1990). Spousal interaction and spouses' joint leisure activities draw spouses closer together, helping them to maintain the marriage (Hill, 1988).
