Jumlah tenaga kerja perempuan di Indonesia terus meningkat setiap tahun. Hal ini mulai menggeser peran gender tradisional menjadi egaliter sehingga memunculkan struktur keluarga baru, yaitu dual earner. Pasangan dual earner merupakan suami dan istri yang bekerja keduanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara stres eksternal dan stres internal. Selain itu, penelitian ini ingin mengetahui apakah common dyadic coping dapat memoderasi hubungan stres internal dan stres eksternal. Partisipan penelitian merupakan 164 individu dari pasangan dual earner yang berusia di atas 20 tahun. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah Multidimensional Stress Questionnaire For Couples (MSF-P) dan Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI). Analisis data menggunakan analisis korelasi dan regresi untuk melihat efek moderasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara stres eksternal dan stres internal (r=0.742, p<0.01, one tailed). Selain itu, hubungan keduanya dimoderasi oleh common dyadic coping secara signifikan (b = 0.11, 95% CI [0.02, 0.19], t = 2.55, p<0.05). Hasil ini dapat dijadikan acuan intervensi mengenai common dyadic coping untuk meminimalisasi tingkat stres eksternal dan internal pada pasangan dual earner.
