Today, over 60% of U.S. couples are dual-career couples, and it’s frequently reported that this is a positive development for our workplace and families.
Yet despite the clear benefits of both partners bringing home an income, working couples wrestle with significant challenges including how to balance their careers, juggle family commitments, and achieve their work and life aspirations.
