“…В-третьих, теория должна учитывать изменчивость брачных отношений меж-ду супружескими парами и внутри них во времени [Baltes, Reese, Lipsitt, 1980;Belsky, Rovine, 1990;Glenn, 1990;Wamboldt, Reiss, 1989]. Полноценная теория брака должна объяснять больше, чем просто причины разводов.…”

“…So, childbirth tends to be accompanied by an increase in conflict between parents, combined with a strong reduction in joint time and activities as partners and an overall low satisfaction with the marital relationship (Belsky & Rovine, 1990;Cowan & Cowan, 2000;Feldman, 2000;Lawrence, Nylen, & Cobb, 2007;Levy-Shiff, 1994). However, these results must be examined more precisely.…”

“…First, the negative changes experienced are, on average, statistically significant but with a moderate clinical relevance. Second, when analyses extend beyond the central tendencies in the data, a marked variability between families emerges (Belsky & Rovine, 1990;Cowan & Cowan, 2000;Lawrence et al, 2007). Finally, studies also show a high level of continuity within each couple.…”

“…Specifically, several studies have found marital satisfaction and father involvement to be interrelated issues during the transition to parenthood: greater prenatal marital satisfaction tend to be related to more father involvement in childrearing (Belsky & Rovine, 1990;Feldman, 2000;Lee & Doherty, 2007). The mutual influence of the roles as partners and parents is not only a matter of the strength of these issues but is also related to the patterns of change in these roles.…”

“…However, this life transition can only be fully understood if a systemic framework is adopted. The MENéNDEz, HIDALgO, JIMéNEz, AND MORENO processes of change that men and women go through when becoming parents -on both individual and interpersonal levels-are interrelated and mutually influential (Belsky & Rovine, 1990;Cowan & Cowan, 2000).…”

Research into the process of becoming mother or father shows very conclusively that this important life transition is accompanied by both a decrease in marital quality and a more traditional division of labour. In this paper these changes are analyzed with special emphasis on the relationships between them and exploring the role played in this process by the mother's work status. Results showed a significant link between the development of marital quality and violated expectations regarding father involvement on childrearing. Dual-earner families were characterized by a specific pattern of changes, with greater stability than single-earner families in marital and parental roles during transition to parenthood and a significant role played by spouse support as a partner, but not as a parent. Keywords: father involvement, marital quality, transition to parenthood, mother's work status.La investigación sobre el proceso de convertirse en madre o en padre muestra, de manera muy concluyente, que esta importante transición evolutiva suele estar caracterizada por un decremento en la calidad de la relación de pareja y por una tradicionalización en la división de las tareas dentro del hogar. En este artículo se analizan ambos tipos de cambios prestando especial atención a la relación entre los mismos, y se explora el papel que juega en ellos el hecho de que la mujer trabaje o no fuera del hogar. Los resultados indican que existe una importante relación entre el desarrollo de la relación de pareja y la violación de expectativas respecto a la implicación del padre en la crianza y el cuidado del bebé. Las parejas en las que ambos miembros trabajan fuera del hogar tienden a estar caracterizadas por una mayor estabilidad en los roles como pareja y como progenitores durante la transición, y por el significativo papel que en este proceso juega el apoyo del cónyuge como pareja y no como progenitor. Palabras clave: implicación paterna, calidad de la relación de pareja, transición a la paternidad y la maternidad, estatus laboral de la madre.
