S4 EP17: Helping Your Relationship Survive Your Job

Published: Oct. 31, 2019, 4:15 a.m.

Double-career couples are\xa0the norm\xa0these days. But when organizational behaviorist\xa0Jennifer Petriglieri\xa0looked for studies on how these couples manage their professional and personal responsibilities, she found little research. So Petriglieri did her own five-year study, talking to dozens of couples, and compiling what she learned into the book\xa0Couples That Work. On this episode, Petriglieri walks us through the three phases she discovered a couple must navigate to keep their relationship and career intact. Later, ZigZag\u2019s own Jen Poyant shares how Petriglieri\u2019s analysis helps her better understand why her own marriage failed.
