Abstract

Background

: Sexual satisfaction is one of many crucial factors for the long-term success of romantic relationships. Longitudinal studies examining the dyadic associations between maternal and paternal factors in middle adulthood for predicting sexual satisfaction in later adulthood are scarce.

Method

The German longitudinal intervention study "Future Family” followed families with at least one child over 18-years (Pre: N = 477, mothers: M = 35.2 years, fathers: M = 38.8 years, children: M = 4.1 years). At the time of the 18-year follow-up, N = 150 mothers (M = 54.1 years) were still living together with the biological fathers (M = 56.1 years; mean relationship duration: 32 years). Dyadic associations between individual and dyadic factors at Pre were analyzed with Actor-Partner Interdependence models to predict sexual satisfaction 18 years later.

Results

Higher relationship quality was significantly associated with higher levels of one's own sexual satisfaction 18 years later. Higher levels of maternal and paternal mental health problems were linked to lower levels of sexual satisfaction in both the individual themselves and their partner. General life satisfaction of mothers and fathers only predicted their own sexual satisfaction. The model for dysfunctional parenting yielded no significant effects.

Conclusions

The results indicate that relationship quality, mental health problems, and general life satisfaction of both parents could be starting points for preventive and therapeutic interventions to achieve long-term effects in sexual satisfaction in married couples.

夫妻中母亲和父亲性满意度的相关性和预测--18 年纵向研究的结果
背景:性满意度是恋爱关系长期成功的众多关键因素之一。德国纵向干预研究 "未来家庭 "对至少有一个孩子的家庭进行了长达 18 年的跟踪调查(调查前:N = 477,母亲:M = 35.2 岁,父亲:M = 35.2 岁):母亲:男 = 35.2 岁,父亲:男 = 38.8 岁:男 = 38.8 岁,子女:男 = 4.1 岁)。在 18 年的跟踪调查中,有 N = 150 名母亲(男 = 54.1 岁)仍与亲生父亲(男 = 56.1 岁;平均关系持续时间:32 年)生活在一起。研究人员利用行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型分析了婚前个人因素与婚后伴侣因素之间的关系,以预测 18 年后的性生活满意度。结果关系质量越高,18 年后自己的性生活满意度就越高。母亲和父亲较高程度的心理健康问题与个人及其伴侣较低程度的性满意度有关。母亲和父亲的总体生活满意度只预测他们自己的性满意度。结论:研究结果表明,父母双方的关系质量、心理健康问题和一般生活满意度可以作为预防和治疗干预的起点,从而对已婚夫妇的性满意度产生长期影响。
