Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding fulfillment in both love and work isn't easy--but it's possible. The majority of couples today are dual-career couples. As anyone who's part of such a relationship knows, this presents big challenges: trying to raise kids and achieve career goals while caring for and supporting your partner can seem impossible. Yet most advice for dual-career couples fails, framing the challenges as a zero-sum game in which one partner’s gain is the other's loss and solutions feel like sacrifices or unsatisfactory trade-offs. This book is different. In Couples That Work, INSEAD professor Jennifer Petriglieri rejects conventional, one-size-fits-all solutions and instead focuses on how dual-career couples can tackle and resolve the challenges they face throughout their lives--together. She identifies three key phases of exploration and personal growth in every couple's work-life journey, showing how partners must navigate these together to strengthen their bond. Each phase is crystallized with a question: How can we make this work? The first phase focuses on the logistics of combining two busy lives and often involves the demands of young children. What do we really want? In the second phase, couples learn to navigate their midlife crises in ways that allow each partner to continue to feel happy and fulfilled. Who are we now? With careers winding down and kids grown up, this last phase offers new freedoms--and uncertainties. Based on a five-year research project, the book includes interviews with couples from over thirty countries--from executives to entrepreneurs and from twentysomething newlyweds to dual-career grandparents. Filled with vivid real-life stories, keen insights, and engaging exercises, Couples That Work will help couples develop their own unique answers to that most pressing question: How can we successfully combine love and work?

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This exploratory qualitative research sought to understand how dual-career couple factors affect faculty couples' academic careers. Although there is a great deal written about academic careers and dual-career couples, there is limited literature on academic dual-career couples. This investigation focused on the perceptions and experiences of six purposefully selected dual-career academic couples at six schools in a greater Midwestern metropolitan region. The goal was to understand the interaction between dual-career lifestyles and the complex forces that impact their career development over time when one or both were in the establishment stage of their careers. According to Schein (1996), a dual-career lifestyle defines couples' self-concepts as they seek to coherently integrate two careers and two sets of personal and family concerns into an overall pattern that supports both the personal and professional dimensions of their lives. Respondents' perceived critical events, concerns, adjustments and strategies were documented from twelve semi-structured individual and six grounded couple interviews; archival documents (curriculum vitae and institutional websites), and demographic survey data over a nine year period (1994-2003). The content analysis focused on the mesosystem between personal, interpersonal and professional domains which occurred in tandem during each couples' development as individuals, families and academics over time. While these couples' critical events mostly paralleled those of non-dual career faculties, their experiences appeared to be more keenly impacted by six thematic concerns about time and timing, maintenance money, location and proximity, professional identity, support and scholarship, and relationship issues the impact of their relationships on their careers. When one partner's career clearly was more advanced, the consequences for the junior members were more dramatic because his/her career decisions were influenced by those made by the more experienced academic in the relationship. However, when couples' careers were closer in development, couples tended to make more egalitarian decisions by considering the impact of both careers in the short and long run. In light of the increasing dual-career academic couple trend and anticipated turnover for an aging faculty, this study contributes to a better understanding of the interplay between linked academic lives and their impact on career development and decisions over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual-career marriage, in which wife and husband each pursue a professional career, offers a window into the changing landscape of gender roles and relations. In the span of a single generation, the family in which both parents work outside the home has gone from being the exception to being the rule. This book examines the multi-layered implications this impressive, rapid change holds for the fabric of family and marital life and for the course of men's and women's work lives. Intensive interviews with dual-career wives and husbands provide rich information about four major issues: * In what ways and for whom do dual-career marriages replicate the traditional gender arrangements of one-career marriages, and in what ways do dual-career marriages represent a revolution in gender roles? * How do the two careers of spouses develop side by side, and in what ways do dual-career spouses help or hinder each other's careers? * How do work and family combine in dual-career marriages? * How are relationships between spouses and between parents and children affected by dual careers? This book presents a subtle, textured portrait of contemporary dual-career marriage -- examining the complicated interplay of expectations, behaviors, and emotions within and between dual-career spouses. The author observes that the centrality of family or work to each spouse's sense of self powerfully affects how the couple negotiates the challenges posed by dual-career marriage, including feelings of competition between spouses, questions of geographic moves, and division of domestic tasks. The study illuminates many issues of clinical relevance, such as the common hazard of dual-career spouses having little time for marital intimacy once the rigorous demands of careers and children are met, and the complicated intrapersonal as well as interpersonal tensions generated by gender roles in transition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do two-career couples manage in a one-career world?It's about Time examines this mismatch between outdated scripts and the experiences of dual-earner couples. It broadens our understanding of occupational and family career strategies couples use in light of the widening gap between their real lives and the outdated work-hour and career-path roles, rules, and regulations they confront. It's about Time draws on the data from the Cornell Couples and Careers Study to demonstrate that:*Regardless of income, time is a scarce commodity in dual-earner households. With two jobs, two commutes, often long work hours, high job demands, business travel, several cars, children, ailing relatives, and/or pets - time is always an issue.*Time is built into jobs and career paths in ways that make continuous full-time (40 or typically more hours a week) paid work a fact of life in American society. *The multiple strands of life—career, family and personal—unfold over time. Spouses move through their life courses in tandem, with early choices - to have children or not, to work long hours or not, to switch jobs or not, to relocate for his or her career or not—all having long-term consequences for life quality and for gender inequality.The evidence from this book suggests that it is about time for the United States to confront the realities and needs of contemporary working couples and indeed, all members of the new workforce. To do so requires more than Band-Aid, short-term (and often short-sighted) policy remedies. It's about Time argues that it is essential to re-imagine and reconfigure work hours, workweeks, and occupational career paths in ways that address the widening gaps between the time needs and goals of workers and their families, at all ages and stages of the life course.

Download or read book The Dual Career Couple a concept that is redrawing the borders between private and professional life written by Sandrine Meyfret and published by Connaissances et Savoirs. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are more and more dual career couples – couples where both partners have a high-profile job – which confirm the success of the feminist revolution from the sixties. Nowadays, these couples raise questions, especially on their way of working. Knowing the personal involvement that an executive career demands, also knowing what married life implies and eventually acknowledging what family and children upbringing require, how do these men and women deal with their professional ambitions as well as their personal desires? How are divided the priorities of both? What kind of concessions are made by each gender? How is family life ruled? Let's find out with couples who reveal the inner workings set up by this new sociological type of couple. The present study by Sandrine Meyfret is meant to understand how couples with dual careers achieve a balance between private and professional lives, family and company, personal aspiration and married life demands. Therefore we see new solutions come - questioning roles according to gender, original economic workings... During this instructive analysis, we witness the convergence of diverse sociological currents and a complete reorganization of the couple.

Download or read book A Guide for Dual Career Couples written by Eve Sprunt Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the major challenges facing dual-career couples—a substantial proportion of modern society—and suggests ways for both individuals to achieve career success by re-evaluating traditional styles of working and focusing on productivity, flexibility, and negotiating win-win solutions. Women are becoming increasingly influential in the workforce; the era of men being the primary or only income-earner in a partnership is all but gone. Today, people tend to meet their spouse or domestic partner at school or at work. High achievers tend to pair with other high achievers, often in similar fields. This leads to couples in which both individuals are strongly motivated to have successful careers. What happens when they become parents or when one—or both—individuals need to consider relocating for their job? Many mid-career, college-educated people, especially women as well as undergraduate and graduate students, are concerned about developing a plan to mesh their career with a partner and are seeking guidance. This book offers a gender-neutral guide for 21st-century couples that will benefit men as much as women. The author provides career-management guidance for people in dual-career relationships in which both parties are ambitiously attempting to pursue equally important, high-powered careers, presenting examples of alternative solutions and arguing that many "women's issues"—including parenting and limited geographic mobility—are more appropriately managed in a gender-neutral way as dual-career couple issues. Readers will understand how to make better decisions regarding difficult situations, such as whether to accept an opportunity that adversely impacts their personal lives, choosing to take a leave of absence or to quit, investing a large amount of one person's salary for domestic assistance and childcare, taking paternity leave, and leveraging flexible work arrangements—for example, telecommuting.

Download or read book Equal Partners written by Jaclyn S Wong and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many young professionals seek egalitarian partnerships in which both partners work for pay and share unpaid housework and childcare. Yet working couples' realities often deviate from this ideal, with women trading off employment for family care. Will contemporary young adults repeat this pattern, or will they come closer to achieving equality in work and family? Equal Partners? seeks to explore this question. Drawing on six years of interviews with the partners in twenty-one different-gender couples, Jaclyn S. Wong documents how supportive workplaces, partners' steadfast gender-egalitarian attitudes, and partners' jointly coordinated actions all need to come together for couples to experience gender equality in work and family. This book offers a compelling study of the dynamics of couples in ambitious partnerships who aspire to equality as they navigate the external pressures that come with life planning.
