Couple satisfaction is seen as very important by all those in a romantic relationship; however, there are no recipes for it. Using a dyadic approach, we investigate how commitment and intimacy influence couple satisfaction and the moderator role of interpersonal emotion regulation (affect-improving and -worsening strategies). To achieve the scope of the study, we collected data from 131 couples, which were later analyzed using the actor-partner interdependence model with moderation (APIMoM). The results showed that the actor-effect of both commitment and intimacy on couple satisfaction is significant. We found mixed results for the partner-effect of the two variables. Both partners' strategies moderated the association between commitment and couple satisfaction. Women's use of affect-worsening strategies moderated the link between men's intimacy and women's couple satisfaction. The impact of the interactions of commitment or intimacy with interpersonal affect-improving and -worsening strategies on couple satisfaction is discussed further, as well as the implications and importance of the results.
夫妻满意度被所有处于浪漫关系中的人视为非常重要的；然而，却没有关于它的具体方法。本研究采用对偶方法，探讨了承诺和亲密感如何影响夫妻满意度，以及人际情绪调节（改善和恶化策略）的调节作用。为了实现研究范围，我们从 131 对夫妇那里收集了数据，然后使用带有调节的演员-伙伴相互依存模型（APIMoM）进行了分析。结果表明，承诺和亲密感对夫妻满意度的演员效应是显著的。对于两个变量的伙伴效应，我们得出了混合的结果。双方的策略都调节了承诺和夫妻满意度之间的关系。女性使用恶化情绪的策略会调节男性亲密感与女性夫妻满意度之间的联系。进一步讨论了承诺或亲密感与人际情绪改善和恶化策略的相互作用对夫妻满意度的影响，以及结果的意义和重要性。
