本研究以具有代表性的有子女的低收入夫妇为样本，探讨家庭财务安排与关系质量之间的关系。我们详细介绍了夫妻使用的银行安排，评估了哪些因素与持有共同账户和共同账户、单独账户、单独账户或没有账户相关，并分析了财务做法与男性和女性关系质量之间的关联。大多数夫妇拥有共同账户，尽管超过四分之一的夫妇也有单独的账户；近十分之一的夫妇没有账户。联合银行账户在许多方面都与更高的关系质量水平相关，尽管女性的关系质量比男性更一致。个人主义的安排似乎削弱了女性的关系满意度，降低了亲密感、性兼容性和对冲突解决的满意度。
This study explored the association between household financial arrangements and relationship quality using a representative sample of low-income couples with children. We detailed the banking arrangements couples utilize, assessed which factors relate to holding a joint account versus joint and separate, only separate, or no account, and analyzed the association between fiscal practices and men's and women's relationship quality. The majority of couples held joint accounts, though over one-quarter also have separate accounts; nearly one-tenth have no account. Joint bank accounts were associated with higher levels of relationship quality on numerous dimensions, though more consistently for women than men. Individualistic arrangements appeared to undermine women's relationship satisfaction and reduce feelings of intimacy, sexual compatibility, and satisfaction with conflict resolution.
