S4 EP17: Helping Your Relationship Survive Your Job
ResearcherJennifer Petriglieri says dual-career couples can thrive in love and work. But they must pass through three difficult phases.
Double-career couples are the norm these days. But when organizational behaviorist Jennifer Petriglieri looked 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 Couples 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's own Jen Poyant shares how Petriglieri's analysis helps her better understand why her own marriage failed.
Season 4 of ZigZag is examining the current culture of business and work, figuring out what needs to change, and experimenting with new ways to do it.
