Abstract
Using both traditional scientific and feminist methodologies, this stu dy evaluates the effectiveness of a family life education Program desi gned to help dual-earner couples share domestic labor. Both quantitati ve and qualitative data suggested that the program produced small incr eases in husbands' involvement in both housework and child rare and la rge increases in wives' satisfaction with domestic work arrangements, These changes persisted for 6 months after the end of the program.
