Time together as a family is a crucial dimension of family life. However, its impact on personal happiness is not well understood. I use the United Kingdom Time Use Survey 2014–2015 to study how time spent with partners and children affects daily subjective well-being. Overall, I find that family time, couple time, and time alone with children contributes significantly to mothers’ and fathers’ well-being. I show that the activities that families share together mediate an important part of the enjoyment of time together but do not entirely explain this association. This suggests that beyond what families do together, families enjoy being together. I find that fathers enjoy family time more than mothers do. I demonstrate that the unequal division of labour during family time explains this discrepancy. I conclude by discussing the recent transformations of intimate relationships.

一家人在一起的时间是家庭生活的一个重要方面。然而，它对个人幸福感的影响尚不清楚。我使用 2014-2015 年英国时间使用调查来研究与伴侣和孩子相处的时间如何影响日常主观幸福感。总的来说，我发现家庭时间、夫妻时间和与孩子独处的时间对母亲和父亲的幸福感有很大贡献。我表明，家庭共同参与的活动是共同享受时间的重要组成部分，但并不能完全解释这种关联。这表明，除了家庭一起做的事情之外，家庭还喜欢在一起。我发现父亲比母亲更享受家庭时光。我证明了家庭时间的不平等分工解释了这种差异。
