The Dual-Earner Marriage: The Elaborate Balancing Act

by Jack O. Balswick, Judith K. Balswick

A second income doesn't have to mean a second-class marriage. In fact, due to the deep level of partnership that must take place, a dual-earner couple can have a stronger, more communicative relationship than that of a "traditional" couple. In this book, the Balswicks offer innovative, creative, and workable solutions to the problems brought on by dual-earner marriages.

I didn't get a ton out of this book. While it's interesting to read stories of how other couples are balancing work and life, the advice in the book seemed difficult to put into practical terms at best.
