Finding fulfillment in both love and work isn't easybut it's possible.The majority of couples today are dualcareer 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 dualcareer couples fails, framing the challenges as a zerosum game in which one partners gain is the other's loss and solutions feel like sacrifices or unsatisfactory tradeoffs.This book is different. In Couples That Work, INSEAD professor Jennifer Petriglieri rejects conventional, onesizefitsall solutions and instead focuses on how dualcareer couples can tackle and resolve the challenges they face throughout their livestogether. She identifies three key phases of exploration and personal growth in every couple's worklife 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 freedomsand uncertainties.Based on a fiveyear research project, the book includes interviews with couples from over thirty countriesfrom executives to entrepreneurs and from twentysomething newlyweds to dualcareer grandparents.Filled with vivid reallife 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?
