This paper utilizes time budget data allowing for a distinction between simultaneous time-use of spouses and the actual time spouses meet, The paper examines (1) the temporal choices of time-use, the synchronous leisure of spouses and the extent to which spouses spend time together, and (2) tests whether spouses coordinate their working schedule so that they obtain more synchronous leisure, utilizing a control group of matched singles. The empirical results suggest (i) a positive effect of coordination on synchronous leisure. (ii) that market work and leisure timing are very intra-household dependent, and (iii) that although parents with small children and couples 40+ have more synchronized time-use than others. they seem to allocate less of this to their spouses.
