Book excerpt: The dual-career family, in which both husband and wife pursue careers and yet seek to maintain a family life, is an emergent family phenomenon that has recently become of interest to researchers in the area of family patterns. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role structure chosen by these couples. Individual role competence was the central concern of the research. Of special concern was the relative influence of self and spousal role competence in identified marital roles on the respondents' perception of satisfaction with the marriage. The investigation was done by replicating a previous study done by F. Ivan Nye (1970). In addition, additional variables were added in an extended analysis to go beyond the replication data. Social exchange theory was used as a conceptual frame work for the study. This framework allowed the researcher to look at the costs and rewards associated with competent or incompetent role enactment within the social context in which the individuals performed. It proposes that competent role enactment is rewarding and that individuals who are perceived as competent or who perceive themselves as compe tent marital role enactors will be likely to be satisfied with their marriages. A sample of forty-four dual-career couples was obtained from urban Alberta areas. All couples were actively com mitted to demanding careers and were also involved in family life, presently raising at least one child under sixteen. Data was collected as part of a study of problem solving behavior of dual-career couples. The role analysis included role responsibility, importance of and satisfaction with role enactment, as well as self and spousal role compe tence. A global measure of marital satisfaction was included. Multiple regression was the statistical technique used in the analysis. First, a direct replication of Nye's study was run, using only spousal competence in specified marital roles as indicators of personal marital satisfaction. Second, an extended analysis was done, adding variables that the researcher felt would better describe the dual-career role pattern. Also, in this second analysis, both self and spousal role competencies were considered as predictors of marital satisfaction. Generally, the dual-career couples indicated much more of their marital satisfaction to be a result of role compe tence than did Nye's random sample of spouses. A major finding of the analyses was also that competence in the therapeutic role was the major predictor of marital satis faction for both men and women in dual-career marriages. This supported Nye's earlier findings, but the influence was much stronger in the dual-career marriages investigated. A perception of general role competence did not appear to be as good a predictor of marital satisfaction for these individuals as did role specific competencies.

Book Synopsis Dual-career Marriage by : Lisa R. Silberstein
Download or read book Dual-career Marriage written by Lisa R. Silberstein and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 215 pages. 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.

Download or read book Couples That Work written by Jennifer Petriglieri and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 261 pages. 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?
