Jennifer Petriglieri, an INSEAD professor, has pondered this question in her personal and professional life. She is about to launch a book on the subject, which I’m keen to dive into, but in the meantime, the Wall Street Journal has provided us with some of her insights in a fantastic read., which you can access via the link below.

I always hesitate to use the word ‘success’, because I’m a strong believer in the subjectivity of the word, and perhaps that is why Petriglllieri’s article has appealed to me. Take this quote, "Unlike what many people think, couples don’t fail because they don’t support each other. They fail because they are not sure what it is that they are supporting, and why. What a good life means for them, what they need and want, and therefore what they can let go of, and what they must keep pursuing, even at a cost." It’s the essence of understanding what a good life is - what does success look like for the individuals and the couple, that resonates. I encourage those of you who are actively pursuing a dual-career relationship to invest a few minutes in reading this article.
