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.
The German longitudinal intervention study "Future Family" followed families with at least one child over 18-years (Pre: = 477, mothers: = 35.2 years, fathers: = 38.8 years, children: = 4.1 years). At the time of the 18-year follow-up, = 150 mothers ( = 54.1 years) were still living together with the biological fathers ( = 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.
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.
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.
性满意度是浪漫关系长期成功的众多关键因素之一。关于中年期父母因素之间的二元关联以预测成年后期性满意度的纵向研究很少。
德国纵向干预研究“未来家庭”跟踪了至少有一个18岁以上孩子的家庭（基线：n = 477，母亲：平均年龄 = 35.2岁，父亲：平均年龄 = 38.8岁，孩子：平均年龄 = 4.1岁）。在18年随访时，n = 150位母亲（平均年龄 = 54.1岁）仍与亲生父亲（平均年龄 = 56.1岁；平均关系持续时间：32年）生活在一起。使用行为者-伙伴相互依赖模型分析基线时个体因素和二元因素之间的二元关联，以预测18年后的性满意度。
更高的关系质量与18年后更高水平的自身性满意度显著相关。母亲和父亲更高水平的心理健康问题与个体自身及其伴侣更低水平的性满意度相关。母亲和父亲的总体生活满意度仅能预测他们自己的性满意度。功能失调养育方式的模型没有产生显著影响。
结果表明，父母双方的关系质量、心理健康问题和总体生活满意度可能是预防性和治疗性干预的起点，以在已婚夫妇的性满意度方面取得长期效果。
