For individuals in intimate relationships, relationship satisfaction is an important determinant of relationship stability and psychological well-being. The gendered division of housework is associated with feelings of equity and relationship satisfaction for both men and women. The quality of communication between partners also is associated with relationship satisfaction, feelings of equity, and the division of domestic tasks. The study aimed to explicate the role of partners’ communication quality to improve the theoretical understanding of the role of housework in shaping couples’ well-being and the processes through which couples shape their housework arrangements. Overall, for women, good, high-quality communication appears to shape not only the division of labor in her partnership but also her partner’s relationship satisfaction. For men, more equal sharing of labor appears to lead to better communication with partners, enhancing their partners’ well-being.
