Publisher Description

Every couple wants a happy relationship and a meaningful career but how do we balance both at the same time?
In Couples that Work, Professor Jennifer Petriglieri shifts away from the language of sacrifice and trade-offs and focuses on how couples can successfully tackle the challenges they will face throughout their lives--together. The book explores key questions like:
Can you and your partner have equally important careers or must you prioritise one over the other?
How can you juggle children or family commitments without sacrificing your work?
Does every decision require compromise or can you find solutions that benefit you both?
Identifying common triggers and traps working couples face, and offering resolution and reflection through tools and engaging exercises, this book will help every couple design their own unique way to combine love and work at every stage of their journey.
Finding fulfilment in both love and work may just be easier than you think.

Couples that woke
All the couples were basically the same. You have one working in an awful but well paying job, and the other struggling to manage the kids and their lesser job, the one with the awful job wants to become a life coach and the other wants to reclaim the job they used to have but can’t. We have 3 stages according to this that we go through.
It doesn’t matter whether they are straight or gay, it’s all the same even though you can see they’ve tried to make it inclusive with every partner having multinational names suggesting mixed raced relationships.
I was hoping for something truly diverse. It’s basically the same couple again and again and again.
